  • When Instagram chose between love and arranged marriages

    When Instagram chose between love and arranged marriages

    Mumbai: The age-old debate between love marriages and arranged marriages is a dilemma that many of us have pondered at some point in our lives. Recently, popular actor and influencer Karan Wahi sparked new discussions on this topic. In a video shared on his Instagram, he was seen taking the most important decision of his life based on the first Indian world cup match between India and Australia. He humorously quipped, “I’ll opt for an arranged marriage if the Indian cricket team chooses to wear their iconic blue jersey for the match. On the other hand, if Jaspreet Bumrah, the renowned Indian cricket player, manages to take 7 wickets in just 6 balls, I’ll lean towards a love marriage.”

    Mumbai: Amazon miniTV – Amazon’s free video streaming service recently premiered the teen drama ‘Campus Beats’.  The dance drama captures the joys, struggles, and passion, friendship, love, and immense competition among the student factions. The fascinating series follows a group of students from a dance academy, Mumbai University of Movement and Dance, also known as the University of M.A.D. The show features Shantanu Maheshwari, Shruti Sinha, Sahaj Chahal, Tanvi Gadkari, Harsh Dingwanii, Tanya Bhushan, Dhanshree Yadav, Teriya Magar, Adnan Khan, and Rohan Pal in pivotal roles.

    Shruti Sinha essays the role of Netra, who is bold yet has a mystery surrounding her, which she conceals from her batchmates. She gets admitted to the dance academy through a welfare program and is labelled as the ‘Backgrounder a.k.a. BG’. Netra secretly keeps on giving inspector Shinde information, but when she learns about the system’s conflict surrounding quotas versus non-quota matters, she decides to confront it and fight back.

    Talking about her first reaction after grasping the role of Netra for Campus Beats, Shruti shared, “Honestly, when I got the call, I double-checked, asking, “Are you sure this is happening?” because the audition process took a month and I wasn’t sure whether I was going to get the part. I was so excited that I ran over to my mom and we had a great time celebrating.”

    Talking about her character Netra, she added, “What I admire about Netra is that she is the polar opposite of who I am in real life. She is very gutsy, I am also gutsy but not like her.

Netra cannot stand injustice, and she is also unafraid of the consequences.”

Featuring Swagger Sharma in the lead, portraying the character of Lucky, a college-going student with big dreams and good luck the show is a slice-of-life drama that entertains viewers with its unique storyline and endearing characters.

    Commenting on the script, Swagger stated, “I actually wrote the script so didn’t have the experience of reading it fresh but when I first saw the fully-edited version in one go, I got goosebumps during the climax. Even though I wrote it, after seeing the edited version I gave myself a pat on the back for creating something good and worthwhile.”

    Additionally, Swagger outlined the unique element of the show, making it a must-watch for viewers, “While on the face it’s a fantasy tale, where a boy receives a locket bringing him immense luck and changing his life, for me the show’s true USP is its portrayal of core human emotions.
