Love is the purest of emotions that enchants the human souls. When you are in love, you tend to fly into the fathoms of this magnanimous emotion tuned to the rhythms of your heartbeat. Celebrated on February 14th, Valentine’s Day has become a significant cultural affair, marking the day of romance not only in India but across the world. It’s widely celebrated in the Bhojpuri region too, especially among the youth. Providing an avenue to Bhojpuri lovers to explore the power of their love, movie channel ZEE Biskope takes viewer engagement many folds up with ‘Love Dangal’ – a Content Marketing initiative that makes viewers experience the premise of its Valentine’s Day special World TV Premiere – Balam Ji Love You, even before watching it. Launching on 7 Feb with the commencement of Valentine’s week, this drive not only gives a unique Kushti gaming experience to viewers but also an opportunity to have a one-to-one online meet & greet with their favourite Bhojpuri heroine. 

Romance icon Khesari Lal Yadav & glam queen Kajal Raghwani starrer blockbuster Balam Ji Love You is all set to make Valentine’s Day extra special. Just like Khesari fights the negative lead Tribhuwan in a Kushti Dangal to win over his lady love Kajal, viewers can fight a Kushti match as their Love Dangal to win the opportunity to meet their favourite heroine. 

To participate in the contest, viewers need to follow 4 simple steps –

  • Just like Khesari, play all the 3 levels of the engaging ‘Love Dangal’ Kushti game with the CPU character till the energy meter lasts, to arrive at the final score
  • To increase score, users can refill the energy meter by watching the promo of ‘Balam Ji Love You’ 
  • Submit the final score & share it on social profiles inviting friends to participate 

The scale of gratification is truly rewarding as the top 5 scorers get a chance to meet their favourite Bhojpuri heroine on a one-on-one online meet and greet session. That’s not all! The next 10 best scorers will also receive a special edition gift hamper from ZEE Biskope. Adding icing on the cake, the winners will be announced during the World Television Premier of ‘Balam Ji Love You’ on 14th February between 6 – 9 pm. Just when you think its over, there’s more. The top 5 winners will also be featured on ZEE Biskope where they share their once-in-a-lifetime experience of meeting their favourite heroine on 20th February between 3 – 6 pm. 

Talking about the new initiative, Samrat Ghosh, Chief Cluster Officer – East, ZEE Entertainment Enterprises Ltd said, “Riding on the pedestal of consumer-centricity, ZEE Biskope has always catered novelty to Bhojiwood. Adding a content marketing drive like Love Dangal to our VDay premiere broadens horizons and offers viewers a holistic movie experience even beyond the TV screens. Such topical & thematic consumer initiatives build deeper engagement and purposeful association for brands. This premise of curation extends to our esteemed partners as well who can leverage value from such innovation-driven initiatives.” 

Sharing his thoughts about the same, Amarpreet Singh Saini, Chief Channel Officer, Bhojpuri Cluster, ZEEL said, “ZEE Biskope has been focused on exploring viewers’ movie affinity beyond mere viewership and facilitating up-close involvement and ‘apnapan’ of the consumers with the brand offerings. Our audience are high energy and innovation seeking audience. Content innovation catches their attention and ZEE Biskope has been at the forefront of it. After the grand success of last year’s VDay initiative Labhlitis Messiah, this year will see the tech integration go way notches higher, creating a fun yet thrilling experience. ZEE Biskope remains true to its commitment on extending category first entertainment offerings that would be fresh, consumer-focused and a differentiator.”

Adani Group refutes The Ken’s claims regarding repayment of loans against shares

Adani Group CFO, Jugeshinder Robbie Singh, criticised the digital publication for its deliberate misrepresentation

adani

Adani Group has refuted The Ken’s recent claims regarding repayment of loans against shares.

On Tuesday, Adani Group CFO, Jugeshinder Robbie Singh, criticised the digital publication for its deliberate misrepresentation.

"Deliberate misrepresentation ( and if i speculate out right lies) of @TheKenWeb ( @SudzzBTS an @nimishshp) they know that relevant exchanges will update end of quarter. The deliberate subterfuge will be clear to all once exchanges update the data post end of quarter,"tweeted the company CFO.

In its latest article, The Ken had cited Adani group's regulatory filings and claimed the company of not paying a significant portion of the promoters' shares.

“Regulatory filings examined by The Ken show that banks have not yet released a large portion of its promoters’ shares, as they should have if the loans had indeed been completely repaid. As per Indian laws, disclosures on the release of shares need to be filed with stock exchanges by lenders within two working days, and by promoters within seven working days. But neither the Adani Group nor the lenders have made these disclosures to stock exchanges," Adani group quoted the Ken's article in its release.

Debunking the claims made in the article, the company clarified that all the pledged shares have been released subsequent to prepayments.

“As per the present rules, any share pledge or release is automatically reported by system driven disclosure (SDD) mechanism of the depository participant, and no separate filing is required to be made" said the company in its release.

Dr. Chaturvedi's impact on the industry is far-reaching and her achievements are numerous.
