Rani Mukherjee touches feet of Karan Johar at ‘Mrs. Chatterjee v/s Norway’ event

[ad_1]
Mumbai: The makers of Rani Mukherjee’s upcoming emotional drama ‘Mrs Chatterjee v/s Norway’ hosted a press meet on Friday, which turned out to be an eventful one.
Karan Johar, a dear friend of Rani, joined the discussion with the lead actor and the team. Rani touched Karan’s feet which won the hearts of millions. Reacting to Rani’s gesture, Karan said, “Our relationship is unique. When I was young, she used to be my sister, then she became ‘bhabhi’ (sister-in-law). Taking a cue from Karan’s words, Rani said, “But won’t become your mother any day.” The videos of funny banter between two besties are doing the rounds on the internet.
Rani was draped in a white saree with a black border. She sported a black bindi with minimum accessories. Karan wore a black jacket and baggy pants.
The event was attended by Sagarika Bhattacharya, on whom, Rani’s character in the movie is modelled. The ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ actor got emotional after meeting Sagarika. Videos and photos of the moment were shared by the paparazzi and the fan pages.
In the event, Rani also spoke about her husband Aditya Chopra’s reaction to ‘Mrs. Chatterjee v/s Norway.” Addressing the media Rani said, “Adi was shocked seeing the film. He was deeply moved and I don’t think I have seen him so moved in any film. Last he was so moved is when Yash’s uncle passed away. He is a parent today, so it hit him. He was very sweet and gave me a side hug as if I were his child. He said well done and I said, thank you. It was a moment because Adi praises me behind my back. I think he could not stop himself and he was moved by the film.”
Directed by Ashima Chibber and produced by Zee Studios and Emmay Entertainment, the movie stars Neena Gupta, Jim Sarbh and Anirban Bhattacharya in pivotal roles.

Illness count from contaminated water in Hamirpur villages touches 535, Himachal CM seeks report

[ad_1]
Hamirpur: The number of people taken ill after allegedly consuming contaminated water in a dozen villages of Nadaun sub-division in Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur district rose to 535 on Sunday.
People from a dozen villages, including Banh, Jandgi Gujran, Jandali Rajputan, Panyala, Pathiyalu, Niyati, Rangas Chowki Haar, Thain and Sankar have been affected by the outbreak of water-borne diseases.

It is believed that the high amount of bacteria in the water is causing the illness, Kumar said. He attributed it to contamination of the pit from which the water is supplied.
Villagers said the water was supplied without being filtered from an under-construction tank, causing the outbreak.
Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, who is also the MLA from Naudan, has directed the district administration and the Health department to take proper care of the patients and ensure no shortage of medicines and other items.

He has also sought a complete report from state- and district-level agencies.
