One month ago, actor and brand ambassador Priyanka Chopra was an ardent anti-fireworks campaigner, pleading with her fans to “Skip the crackers this Deepawali”, especially on behalf of fellow asthmatics.

On Saturday night, however, the skies over Jodhpur exploded with fireworks in celebration of her wedding to American singer and actor Nick Jonas.

Predictably, Twitter exploded with charges of hypocrisy and double standards.

“So basically diwali crackers create problem and wedding celebration crackers add oxygen!!” said Twitter user Mahesh Watharkar. “I think @priyankachopra asthma gone a day before wedding,” tweeted Ayaan Lokesh. Another user asked if the Rajasthan Police had taken action against the couple.

This year, the Supreme Court had limited the bursting of crackers to two hours on Deepawali day, and also permitted only “safe and green” firecrackers in Delhi.

“Can you please tell us from where we should buy those noiseless & Oxygen emitting Eco friendly Crackers that you’ve used in your wedding? We’ll keep them in stock for next Diwali…” said a tweet from Dr. Janak Pandya.

Ms. Chopra is a brand ambassador for Breathefree, a public service initiative for asthma patients organised by Cipla, which manufactures inhalers. On Deepawali morning, Breathefree had posted a video of Ms. Chopra on Twitter as part of its #BerokZindagi (Unstoppable Life) campaign.

“Please keep my breathing unstoppable. Skip the crackers this Deepawali,” the actor urges in the promotional. “Let Deepawali be about lights and laddoos and love and not pollution. Reduce the use of firecrackers, so that you all, asthmatics like me, all the animals out there, everyone can enjoy the festival too.”

When reached out to Cipla for a response, the company said it was not prepared to comment on its brand ambassador’s actions. Twitter users however, were already questioning the company.

“This is awesome! #Cipla cures Priyanka’s asthma (which she had since the age of 5) just in time, for her to enjoy the firecrackers at the wedding,” said a sarcastic tweet by Gopal Kavalireddi.

“Dear @Cipla_Global your brand ambassador @priyankachopra does exactly what she tells us not to do on Diwali, on your behalf. Can’t wait to hear your response and action. No action would definitely mean choosing other brands over you where possible,” tweeted travel blogger and author Anuradha Goyal.

At 2 pm on Sunday, Breathefree’s Twitter page wished the newly wed couple as they “embark on their new #BerokZindagi”. It posted: “The only one who can take Priyanka’s breath away. #PriyankaNick

अपने रोमांचक फैंटसी ड्रामा को प्रमोट करने चंडीगढ़ पहुंचीं एक्टर रेहना पंडित

चंडीगढ़, 16 नवंबर 2018। हम लोगों में से अधिकांश भारतीय चुड़ैलों के बारे में लोककथाएं सुनकर बड़े हुए हैं। पीढ़ियों से हमने उनके बारे में सुन रखा है कि वे दुष्ट होती हैं और बड़ी चालाकी से तंत्र-मंत्र करती हैं। क्या परी कथाओं की यह खलनायिका सिर्फ हमारे दिल में पल रहा एक डर है? या फिर वे वाकई भारत के दूरदराज के किसी अंधेरे कोने में रहती हैं। हम कभी उनके अस्तित्व की सच्चाई नहीं जान पाएंगे, लेकिन क्या आपने कभी यह सोचा है यदि कोई चुड़ैल को प्यार हो जाए तो किस तरह का नाटकीय बदलाव आएगा? ज़ी टीवी का अगला प्राइमटाइम शो ‘मनमोहिनी‘ प्यार, बदले की भावनाओं, इच्छाओं, जुनून और ऐसी ही उन तमाम बातों की कहानी है, जो इन सभी चीजों के बीच आती हैं। एलएसडी फिल्म्स के निर्माण में बना मनमोहिनी 27 नवंबर 2018 से शुरू हो रहा है, जिसका प्रसारण हर सोमवार से शुक्रवार शाम 7ः30 बजे ज़ी टीवी पर किया जाएगा। 

राजस्थान की पृष्ठभूमि में रची-बसी इस कहानी को रेगिस्तान की मिट्टी का एक-एक कण बयां करता है। यह ‘मनमोहिनी‘ नाम की एक डायन की कहानी है। वो एक अतृप्त आत्मा है, जो अपने प्रेमी राम (अंकित सिवक) से मिलने के लिए 500 वर्षों से भटक रही है। अब वो अतीत के पन्नों से निकलकर राम और उसकी पत्नी सिया (गरिमा सिंह राठौर) की जिंदगी में लौट आई है। यह शो राम के प्रति सिया के अटूट प्यार को दर्शाता है, जिसमें वो मोहिनी नाम की शैतानी आत्मा से अपने पति को बचाने के लिए संघर्ष करती है। इस शो में मोहिनी का मुख्य किरदार निभा रहीं रेहना पंडित इस शो को प्रमोट करने आज चंडीगढ़ पहुंची। 

अपनी चंडीगढ़ यात्रा को लेकर खूबसूरत रेहना कहती हैं, ‘‘आमतौर पर चुड़ैलों को डरावना और खौफनाक माना जाता है और उनका हुलिया आपकी आंखों को जरा भी नहीं भाता, लेकिन मोहिनी इससे अलग है। वो खूबसूरत है, ताकतवर है और सच्चे प्यार को पाने का उसका जुनून, सभी को उसकी अंधेरी दुनिया की ओर आकर्षित करता है। इन सभी बातों के चलते इस किरदार मंे मेरी दिलचस्पी बढ़ गई। मैं टेलीविजन स्क्रीन पर चुड़ैल और उसके मायाजाल को एक अलग रूप में पेश करने को लेकर बेहद उत्साहित हूं। मुझे आज चंडीगढ़ आकर बेहद खुशी महसूस हो रही है। मैं पहले भी यहां आई हूं और हर बार यहां मुझे बढ़िया अनुभव हुआ है। यहां के लोग और यहां की संस्कृति बेहद आकर्षक हैं। मुझे इस शहर में आकर अच्छा वक्त गुजारने का इंतजार है।‘‘

मोहिनी के पास ‘भूरा जादू‘ करने की शक्ति है। 500 वर्ष पहले वो राजस्थान के घुमक्कड़ आदिवासियों के घागरा पलटन समूह का हिस्सा थी, जिनका प्रमुख पेशा अमीर और ताकतवर लोगों के लिए नाच-गाने करना होता था। राम के प्रति उसके जुनून के चलते उसका राम की पत्नी सिया के साथ टकराव होता है। इस तरह दो महिलाओं के बीच एक युद्ध की शुरुआत होती है, जिनमें से एक आधुनिक दौर की इंसान है और दूसरी एक अमर शैतानी आत्मा। दोनों ही अपने प्यार को वापस पाना चाहती हैं।
