Actor Shubham Gaur, who emerged from Hostel Daze, won everyone’s heart with his comedy

As a creator, it is important to create content that one can relate to and also find entertaining. Here’s Shubham Gaur, an artist with many talents who started his YouTube content creation journey in 2015. The actor, influencer, writer, and director Shubham Gaur will be remembered for playing Jaat in the Amazon Prime web series Hostel Daze.

Having been brought up in Bulandshahr, UP, Shubham believes he has always had a knack for comedy and storytelling, which ultimately led him into content creation. As far as his content is concerned, we tend to agree with him very often. Currently, his hilariously accurate Instagram Reels and videos are cracking up the internet.

As an artist and comedian, Shubham Gaur has done many things in his career. His appearance in the show, “Hostel Daze,” was along with Adarsh Gourav, Ahsaas Channa, Luv Vispute, and others. In his work, he shows extreme dedication and passion.

We are shaking our heads with relatability whenever we watch his videos. Shubham Gaur’s success today is due to his ability to create genuine, humorous, relatable, and honest content.

In addition, he is a highly risk-taking individual who has explored various platforms to create a stronger connection with his audience. In his most recent work, “Hostel Daze“, he received a digital round of applause for his character Rupesh Bhati. Along with this, he has produced and co-created shows including, ‘Uncommon Sense‘ with Saloni Gaur. Shubham has achieved such great milestones as a creator and comedian.

How Shubham Gaur started his journey

He started creating content in 2015 when influencer marketing was just beginning in this industry. I thought it was most important to create content that was original and authentic for me. In order to establish a deeper connection with my audience, I have never restricted myself to one specific platform or format. It has been my policy to not limit myself to one platform or format, but rather to use as many platforms as I can to build a deeper connection with my audience.

Life truly does come full circle, as the saying goes. Having my friends lend me their OTT subscriptions and being featured on them has been more than the stuff of dreams. Even as an artist and creator, I am still overwhelmed by how far I have come.

With Shubham’s journey, not only is his feed inspiring to us, but it can also be a source of entertainment for us. Despite having a highly unique comedy style and communicating meaningfully through his content, he has made a name for himself in the creator world.

PM Narendra Modi offers sympathies to Akshay Kumar after his Mother Aruna Bhatia death; the actor says he expresses gratitude for the appreciation

Earlier in the week, Akshay Kumar, his wife Twinkle Khanna, and daughter Nitara returned back to London following the passing of their mother Aruna Bhatia. Aruna Bhatia, the mother of Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, passed away on September 8 in Mumbai. His fans and industry friends have been posting condolences on social media since the news broke.

Would have never liked it this way but am sure mom is singing Happy Birthday to me from right up there! Thanks to each one of you for your condolences and wishes alike. Life goes on. pic.twitter.com/PdCGtRxrvq
— Akshay Kumar (@akshaykumar) September 9, 2021

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, amongst others, sent a long note expressing condolences to Akshay and his family. In a social media post on Sunday, Akshay thanked PM Modi for the amazing gesture by sharing the letter.

In an elaborate letter following the death of actor mom, PM Modi wrote: “My dear Akshay, It was best if I would never have written such a letter. In an ideal world, such a time should never have come. I was saddened by the demise of your Mother, Smt. Aruna Bhatia. When I spoke to you that fateful morning, you were crestfallen and you encapsulated it emotionally when you wrote, “She was my core. And today I feel an unbreakable pain at the very core of my existence.”

You tasted success after much hard work and struggle. You have built a name and achieved fame for yourself through your determination and tenacity. Through your journey, you retained the right values and moral strength due to which you could easily turn adversities into opportunities. And these learnings came from your parents. When you began your career, I am sure people on the way would have been sceptical, even outright condescending. But, your Mother stood with you like a rock. At the peak of success and the lows of failure, she was there as an anchor. She ensured you remained kind, compassionate and humble at all times. She also instilled a spirit of service in you, seen repeatedly through your philanthropic initiatives and eagerness to give back to society.

What is heartening is that during her life, she saw you scale new heights of success and stardom. The manner in which you took care of her is deeply inspiring. She left the world knowing fully well that her beloved son is one of India’s most admired and versatile actors. In such times of grief, words seldom do justice. Preserve her memories and legacy, and keep making her proud. In this tragic hour, my thoughts are with you and your family. Om Shanti.”

It was Akshay who tweeted and informed about the sad news of his mother’s passing. In a tweet, he said, “She was my core. And today I feel an unbearable pain at the very core of my existence. My maa Smt Aruna Bhatia peacefully left this world today morning and got reunited with my dad in the other world. I respect your prayers as I and my family go through this period. Om Shanti.”

Bhoot Police Review- Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Kapoor comic time blaze the film

Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Yami Gautam, Jacqueline Fernandez, Rajpal Yadav, Jaaved Jaffrey, Girish Kulkarni, Jamie Lever, Amit Mistry

Director: Pavan Kripalani

Rating: 3 stars ( out of 5)

Bhoot Police’ is a strait-laced horror comedy with a touch of farce from director Pawan Kripalani. It is a film that can be related to by every Indian. This is an adventure story about a team of two fake exorcists and a policeman chasing them. Vibhooti Vaidya, played by Saif Ali Khan, prefers to believe in ghosts and evil spirits so long as people have faith in them. In the horror-comedy genre, Bhoot Police is yet another example of Bollywood’s ongoing fascination.

A young brother of Vibhooti, Arjun Kapoor’s as a Chiraunji, has reservations about the afterlife and spirits. The duo rides their father’s converted bus through the countryside, atop the glory of Ullat Baba, churning out con-jobs to solve people’s problems. Their father was a real exorcist.

Maya (Yami Gautam), who has come all the way from Dharamsala to seek Ullat Baba’s guidance, is what leads Chiraunji to accidentally discover his father’s diary at ‘The Spirit Carnival 2021’. As Vibhooti flees, Inspector Chedilal (Javed Jaffery) notices him and captures him. Maya escapes with the brothers from the carnival.

They choose to support Maya and her sister Kanika (Jacqueline Fernandes), who is being haunted by a “kichkandi” (evil spirit). In this case, they fix the issue by inadvertently reuniting a mother with her daughter and ensuring both achieve salvation.

It appears impressive at first as the cleverly constructed sequences of events are sprinkled with layers of humor, but in truth, the plot is filled with absurdity. A mix of rural and urban lingo, the dialogue in this series is racy and punchy. A turning point in the story that is hurried and difficult to follow is a bit confusing.

As usual, Saif and Arjun have good comic timing, which by now should be routine. Jacqueline’s written character is very low, while Yami Gautam proves watchable. It is wasted on dull exposition when Jamie Lever plays the tea-garden worker and Javed Jaffery plays the officer. The production value of the film is exceptional.

Rajasthan’s expansive landscape and brightly colored sets appear natural and vibrant. Although Jaya Krishna Gummadi’s lens captures the film’s visuals with aplomb, the dark scenes seem unnecessary during the last half-hour.

In spite of the lack of visuals, Pooja Ladha Surti’s razor-sharp editing keeps the story moving with seamless layers of sound. It sounds like the background music of an old Hindi film with its thunderous background music by Sachin Jigar. Generally, you will be entertained by this Bhoot Police film.

5 Important Tips on How to Become a Fashion Designer

A successful fashion designer is never, ever given up on their dream. As aspiring fashion designers, they strive hard to make it big in the competitive field. Fashion designers who pursue degree programs will be able to get their foot in the door of a highly competitive industry.

If you want to establish yourself in the fashion world, you don’t have to be royalty. Whether you are a mechanic or human services employee, the keys to success are persistence, discipline, and determination. Here are 5 tips that can help you succeed as an aspiring fashion designer:

5 Tips on How to Become a Successful Fashion Designer

Utilize your own experiences

Personal experiences are just that – yours. Your unique selling point is the fact that no one else has seen them. You can use points from your life to inspire clothing designs and come up with a story the audience can relate to.

Initiative Yourself

Fashion designers are good navigators. You couldn’t accomplish anything on time without your team. Make use of your team’s strengths by delegating; don’t be afraid to take advantage of them. Nevertheless, don’t let your team do the work for you. Be part of everything, from retail, distribution, and marketing, and make sure that everything is done correctly at every stage.

Trust your abilities

Some of life’s best opportunities can be found by knocking on doors. After losing one door upon another, you will uncover that one remaining door that you need. In the highly competitive world of fashion, giving your best is the only way to succeed. Therefore, don’t be afraid to be turned down at first. The only requirement for judging your skills is one good eye.

Keep your portfolio up-to-date

Many talent recruitment agencies use social media platforms such as LinkedIn and Instagram to find talented professionals. Maintaining your portfolio is the last thing you want to do if you are presented with an opportunity. In addition to joining as many networks as possible, keep applying to them to increase your chances of receiving a job.

Know about demands

You have your USP, team, and determination. The failure of your business depends on not having what the industry really demands. Apply to projects with little supply of your work so your work will be in demand. Demonstrate your work based on what the world lacks and could use.

The job of a fashion designer includes designing clothing, jewelry, footwear, costumes, and much more. You can improve your chances of success if you specialize in a niche area, despite this being a highly competitive field. Fashion designers can create pieces of their own to sell; however, other fashion designers work as contractors to make others’ sketches into reality by creating patterns or designing clothes for already established brands anonymously without their recognition.

Shershaah Movie Review – An inspiring story where Sidharth Malhotra’s acting created a sensation

Shershaah Movie based on real-life heroes, even in genres that are most likely to be enjoyed by all, is easy. The job of a scriptwriter becomes rather easier now that so much information is available to us.

Every filmmaker could sink his teeth into the material available, and not worry about the ending. Mainly because as a biopic it must have a set of rules: to give viewers a lot more that is not in the public domain. After all, “Yeh Dil Maange More!” According to the ratings of IMDB, this movie has made a beautiful and inspiring place among the audience.

“Shershaah” movie is a Dharma Productions biopic about Kargil martyr Captain Vikram Batra, who was commissioned in the Indian Army in 1997 and promoted to Captain on the battlefield after leading one of the toughest mountain warfare operations in Indian history. Celluloid was exactly the right medium for his story, and it deserves to be told.

Awarded with India’s most prestigious valor award, the Param Vir Chakra, the bestowed upon him for his sacrifice during the 1999 Kargil War. “Shershaah” was often used as the call symbol of Pakistani intercepted messages.

Shershaah Movie Review

From his childhood, Vikram Batra (Sidharth Malhotra, who also plays his twin Vishal) wanted to join the army. During his college years, he meets Dimple Cheema (Kiara Advani) and falls in love with her, which leads to the realization of his vision.

They fall in love quickly and, as in any Bollywood film, the girl’s father opposes her marriage with anyone other than a man from their Sikh community.

As the narrative unfolds, we are told what follows Vikram Batra’s commissioning into the Indian army: sudden attacks from across the border, and casualties among our young soldiers.

There is little time for viewers to ponder or contemplate what they are seeing. It takes a lot of courage, self-belief, passion, and a lot of physical strength for a 25-year-old man to face such formidable situations with such exemplary courage.

It’s apparent that the actor handles the role with sensitivity and perfection and totally embodies the character. Although Kiara Advani has a limited role in this movie, she plays it well and succeeds in delivering a fine performance.

Overwhelmed with the love and appreciation that we are receiving for #Shershaah. Thank you everyone for making it the most watched film on @PrimeVideoIN 🙏❤️#FeelingBlessed #YehDilMaangeMore pic.twitter.com/eyJcHh8jFr

E-commerce is a unique approach

A COVID lockdown caused many consumers to be forced to shop online for many months. Temporary closures often don’t recover from losses and therefore become permanent closures. The pandemic forced many businesses to completely convert to e-commerce, and as a result, the fashion industry found a new path. And as of now, most of the fashion owners have taken their business completely online and are moving ahead with the decision of turning it around.

Comfortable clothing is a top priority

Many people’s lives have been changed by COVID-19. Adults spend more time working at home than going to school, and children learn on a remote basis. Activewear is pretty popular since most people spend much of their time at home. By the end of 2020, fashion retailers realized that comfort and designer outfit shopping were key factors in the fashion industry.

Fashion Influencers are rapidly rising on social media

In the world of fashion, it is especially true that social media is the place where things go first when it comes to anything today. Influencer marketing and creating relationships with new audiences is more prevalent than ever on Instagram with brands and advertisers building out their influencer marketing efforts. Many fashion influencers have promoted a new approach by starting the process of change in the fashion industry during this pandemic.

Apparel becomes genderless

Traditionally, women and men are viewed differently. People today wear the clothes that make them feel comfortable, rather than those designated for their gender. Fashion stylist apps and everyday shopping have contributed to the creation of genderless clothing. Many brands now offer unisex “Basics” lines instead of completely genderless apparel.

Online shopping grows

Since online shopping has become increasingly popular in the past few years, consumers remain wary of buying clothing online since they do not want to see how the wearer looks when wearing the item. Through augmented and virtual reality, eCommerce retailers are improving the shopping experience online. Customers can visualize how an item would appear in a virtual fitting room using both of these technologies.

Since last year, several intriguing developments and shifts have taken place in the fashion and apparel industry. The emergence of new technology, ethical consumption, and a pandemic are a few of the factors driving these trends.
