Actor Tiger Shroff has replaced Akshay Kumar as the new face of Vimal Elaichi alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn in their latest advertisement. This development comes after Akshay Kumar faced public backlash after which he subsequently apologized for endorsing Vimal Elaichi, a brand often linked to surrogate advertising of pan masala products. Ajay Devgn, however, continues his association with the brand despite criticism.

The new ad features the three actors stuck in traffic in their car. Shah Rukh Khan prompts Ajay Devgn to use a Vimal Elaichi sachet, leading to a comedic sequence with a CGI effect showering the town with the product. Tiger Shroff then appears and playfully throws the product at his co-stars. The ad concludes with Tiger joining them in the car.

The ad has garnered significant attention online, with fans jokingly referring to it as the “Vimal Cinematic Universe” (VCU). Comments reference the recent pairing of Tiger Shroff and Akshay Kumar in the film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, with one fan noting, “Bade Miyan left Vimalverse and Chote Miyan joined.” This is not the first time Vimal Elaichi and its advertising practices have courted controversy. Amitabh Bachchan previously ended his association with a similar brand due to public disapproval.

In 2022, Akshay Kumar apologized for endorsing Vimal Elaichi after facing public criticism. He pledged to donate his endorsement fees to charity and vowed to be more mindful of future brand associations. However, his appearance in a subsequent ad in 2023 led to confusion. Akshay later clarified that the ad was filmed in 2021 before he ended his association with the brand.

Indian television is infamous for its long working hours, and many performers who have worked non-stop in this setting have shared their experiences with the physical and mental health difficulties that are a result of such work culture. In a recent interview with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa, actress Prachi Desai highlighted how they have seen people suffer heart attacks as a result of the lifestyle that comes with the profession. They also talked about seeing performers with drips on their arms while on site.

Harsh told Bharti, “I have seen so many directors, creative people getting heart attacks, and many other health issues because you are not sleeping at all. You are smoking and drinking tea the whole time. Eating the same food that’s available on set. You are suffering from acidity, and you can’t control it.”

Prachi, who began her career on the television show Kasamh Se, also commented, stating that she, too, drank a lot of coffee on the sets of her show to keep herself awake. “We wouldn’t sleep enough, and we would just stand and say our dialogues with a straight face, and it would look like ‘wow, what a performance’ but that was just sleeplessness,” she said. Prachi stated that television show sets were not well designed back then, and because they were always racing against the clock, they had to work long hours.

Bharti claimed to have seen female performers on set with drips in their arms. She stated, “I have seen girls on the set of daily soaps who are sitting with a drip in their arm because they couldn’t go home.” Haarsh said that things are quite different now as he mentioned that on non-fiction shows they try and finish the shoot within the shift timings but even when they have to shoot extra, it is only extended by a couple of hours.

Previously, actresses such as Radhika Madan, Juhi Parmar, Vikrant Massey, Karan Kundrra, and Charu Asopa have spoken of working on their television series for days on end without returning home.

Nine-time Grammy-nominated sitarist, producer, film composer and impassioned activist Anoushka Shankar will be awarded an Honorary Degree from the University of Oxford, it was announced today. The prestigious recognition is being conferred “in recognition of her outstanding achievements within the music industry” and underscores Anoushka’s profound influence on the global music landscape and her unwavering commitment to bridging cultural divides through her art. In a noteworthy first, Anoushka achieves the distinction of being the first musician of Indian origin to be conferred with this coveted honour.

Anoushka Shankar shares, “This is truly a pinch-me moment in my career; I never even dreamed I might receive an honour such as this, let alone from one of the most prestigious Universities in the world. I am deeply grateful to Oxford University for conferring me with an Honorary Degree. I also feel reflective and grateful for all my past teachers that got me to this point: I was fortunate to have had the most precious education in music under the guidance of my father, and unbelievable coaching and support in my career aged thirteen onwards from my mother. This is all thanks to them.”

Anoushka will be awarded her degree on June 19th at the world-famous university’s annual Encaenia academic ceremony alongside Warren East, Sir Demis Hassabis, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sir Michael Palin and Professor Salim Yusuf as part of a total 2024 cohort of six honorary degrees.

On the recent professional front, Anoushka has released the first two instalments of her mini-album trilogy with Chapter I: Forever, For Now in October of last year followed by Chapter II: How Dark It Is Before Dawn in April this year. March 2024 saw the release of her duet A Rock Somewhere with six-time Grammy(logo) Award-winning British musician Jacob Collier as part of his latest album Djesse Vol. 4.

Currently in her 30th year of performing live as a sitarist, she has been on an extensive global tour across four continents during the 2023-24 season, delivering monumental performances in sold-out venues including Sydney Opera House, Delhi’s Siri Fort, Toronto’s Koerner Hall, Pioneer Works in New York, Philharmonie de Paris and the Barbican, London.

Anoushka Shankar is a singular figure in the Indian classical and progressive world music scenes. Her dynamic and spiritual musicality has garnered several prestigious accolades, including nine GRAMMY nominations, credit as an Asian Hero by TIME magazine, an Ivor Novello Award Nomination, a Songlines Best Artist Award, becoming the youngest and first female recipient of a British House of Commons Shield and becoming an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music.

Deeply rooted in the Indian classical music tradition, she studied exclusively from the age of 9 under her father and guru, the late Ravi Shankar, and made her professional debut as a classical sitarist at 13. Immersed from a young age on the world stage, she is a singular, genre-defying artist across realms – classical and contemporary, acoustic and electronic. Through her bold and collaborative approach to composing,

Anoushka has created a vital body of work that features artists including Sting, M.I.A., Herbie Hancock, Arooj Aftab and Joshua Bell. Since her third studio album, 2005’s Rise, Anoushka has explored ways to slip the sitar into new contexts. She has used the instrument to address contemporary social issues—the Syrian refugee crisis, or violence against women in India—and make grand arguments about the interconnectedness of different musical traditions. She has also broadened her interests to include composing for visual media, scoring music for 2017’s British Film Institute restoration of the 1927 Indian silent film Shiraz and co-composing the score to Mira Nair’s BBC six-part series A Suitable Boy.
