Bollywood Trailers' Leading Role In Pandemic

Bollywood Trailers’ Leading Role In Pandemic

Bollywood Trailers used by actors gives toilet access to women cops in Mumbai on coronavirus lockdown duty.

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”26px”][vc_column_text]Bollywood vanity vans – the luxury trailers where stars relax and prepare for movie shoots – are providing relief to female police officers on coronavirus lockdown duty in India’s financial hub Mumbai. With about 6,500 COVID-19 cases, Mumbai has one of the highest infection rates in the country and police now patrol the streets and man roadblocks to limit the spread of the disease.

Vanity vans – equipped with baths and beds, soaps, sanitisers, sanitary pads and also biscuits – last week began parking by roads and busy highways to support police women. “I was on 12-hour shifts on the road and would go back to the police station each time I had to use the washroom. Some of us are on the road 24 hours,” Nilophar Shaikh, a sub inspector with Mumbai police told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

“I had never entered a vanity van before,” she said. “It had two rooms, a nice washroom and a resting space too.” With the lockdown suspending Bollywood movie shoots indefinitely, a vanity van owner teamed up with a filmmakers’ collective and a charity to put the vans to good use for free.

A Bollywood vanity van given to the Mumbai women police on lockdown duty by its owner Ketan Rawal is seen in this handout picture from Ketan Rawal via Thomson Reuters Foundation Filmmakers said the scheme served a dual purpose: it made toilets accessible to police and gave jobs to drivers and cleaners who were among Bollywood workers hardest hit by the lockdown.

An estimated 13,000 police officers are out on patrol to help enforce the lockdown, a Mumbai police spokesman said, of which about 20% are women. Female police officers said they had done similar gruelling shifts in the past, but used toilets in nearby hotels or commercial or residential buildings, which were now closed.

To cope, many said they were drinking less water to reduce the number of toilet breaks. “We wondered where the women cops on the road would go for washroom breaks. And it is only getting hotter in Mumbai,” said Shishir Joshi of non-profit Project Mumbai, that is coordinating the initiative.

The vans – with television, air conditioners and couches – have also given cops a rare taste of celebrity. “I did think about which stars may have used this vanity van in the past. I felt like a celebrity myself,” Shaikh said.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”26px”][vc_single_image image=”21037″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”26px”][vc_column_text]Bollywood vanity vans – the luxury trailers where stars relax and prepare for movie shoots – are providing relief to female police officers on coronavirus lockdown duty in India’s financial hub Mumbai.

Shah Rukh Khan To Aaditya Thackeray As Virus Spreads

Shah Rukh Khan To Aaditya Thackeray As Virus Spreads

Coronavirus: Shah Rukh Khan and Aaditya Thackeray exchanged messages on Twitter

Mumbai:

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has thanked Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray for “working so hard for Maharashtra” as the state worst-hit by the novel coronavirus outbreak fights to contain the spread of the infectious virus.

In a tweet posted this evening, Shah Rukh Khan brushed aside a message from Mr Thackeray, who had expressed gratitude after various companies owned by the actor committed to contributing funds to the centre, the state and Mumbai Police, and said: “We don’t ever have to thank each other during times like this. We are a family. Grateful you are working so hard for Maharashtra”.

“Whenever you get alone time.. do write a poem or two. Love to you,” he added.

Mr Thackeray, who last year became the first member of his family to participate in electoral politics, is the state’s tourism and environment minister and is a published poet. In 2007 he authored “My Thoughts in White and Black” and the following year he released “Ummeed”.

Shah Rukh Khan’s tweet was in response to one by Mr Thackeray that said: “Thank you so much Shah Rukh Khanji for your support”.

We don’t ever have to thank each other during times like these. We r a family. Grateful you are working so hard for Maharashtra and whenever you get alone time…do write a poem or two. Love to you. https://t.co/vXkTxEqPni

— Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) April 3, 2020

On Thursday Red Chillies Entertainment, a movie production company owned by Shah Rukh Khan and his wife, Gauri Khan, released a statement that said it would support the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the fight against COVID-19.

“Given the enormity of the task, my team and I discussed ways to contribute in our own modest way. We have come up with a series of initiatives, which we hope will make a small difference,” a note by Shah Rukh Khan said.

According to the statement Red Chillies Entertainment and three other companies owned by the actor – Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket franchise Kolkata Knight Riders, NGO Meer Foundation and Red Chillies VFX – committed funds to the PM Cares Fund, the Maharashtra Chief Minister’s Relief Fund and Mumbai Police.

The Meer Foundation will also feed more than 5,000 families, every day, for at least a month. It will also set up a kitchen to send 2,000 meals to hospitals and households, as well as working with the Roti Foundation to provide three lakh meal kits to 10,000 people per day for at least a month.

The foundation will also provide stipends to 2,500 daily wage workers in Delhi left jobless and in danger of starvation after the Prime Minister’s “total lockdown” last week.

The Kolkata Knight Riders will work with state governments in Maharashtra and West Bengal to contribute 50,000 PPE (personal protective equipment) for doctors and medical staff left under-equipped in the fight against one of the most infectious viral attacks in recent history.

Whilst we stay safe at home,many r working for our safety & fending for themselves. Here’s our little contribution to ensure their health & well being! Separate but together,we will overcome! @iamsrk@PMOIndia@narendramodi@OfficeofUT@AUThackeray@[email protected]/7MI2KT7770

Salman Khan and Disha Patani, after Bharat, will be seen recreating magic in Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai. The film is slated to release in May and the team has been busy shooting on various locations. However, it looks like they will have to reconsider their location choices because of the COVID-19 scare. Starting 2020 on a scary note, the COVID-19 or Corona Virus has left a lot of people infected which has led to complete lockdowns of major cities.

It was only a few days ago that Bollywood Hungama reported how the makers have cancelled their Thailand schedule. Now, after Thailand, they have cancelled their Azerbaijan schedule where Salman and Disha were to shoot for a song in Baku. A lot of people from the team had already left for the location but were immediately called back due to the virus scare. The makers are still trying to figure out a different location since travelling with so many people in an entirely different country when there’s a travel ban, makes no sense.

The film also stars Jackie Shroff and singer Arjun Kanungo. Directed by Prabhu Dheva, Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai is slated to release on May 22.

Monday 07.13.20 Walt Disney World reopened this weekend. Want to know how it went? CNN Travel was there. Here's what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On With Your Day. By AJ Willingham Coronavirus The White House is taking aim at the nation's top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, after days of disastrous news regarding the resurgent spread of coronavirus. Over the weekend, a White House official told CNN that "several White House officials are concerned about the number of times Dr. Fauci has been wrong on things." President Trump and Fauci are not on speaking terms, so this latest move isn’t exactly a surprise. However, it can’t hide the ominous reality of the pandemic: Virus hot spots like Florida are reporting record numbers of cases and worryingly high rates of positive test results. In areas where the virus is most prominent, hospitals are running out of remdesivir, the drug showed to reduce the seriousness of Covid-19. Cases are spiking around the world as well, in places like Japan and India. Several Bollywood stars have tested positive for the virus, setting India’s film industry on edge. Schools Should children go back to school this fall? If so, how? What’s the risk? What’s the plan? These are the unanswered questions parents, administrators and local leaders have as uncertainty continues to loom over the coming school year. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos did little to clear things up when she refused to say whether schools should follow guidelines from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on reopening. In a CNN interview, she called the guidelines “flexible” and said “little flare-ups or hotspots” would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. DeVos, President Trump and other White House figures have aggressively pushed for children to return to school in person in the fall, even though there aren’t clear plans for things like, say, testing or teacher safety. Some schools are instead planning on a hybrid model, where students will attend in-person classes a few days a week. Hong Kong Around 600,000 Hong Kong citizens braved scorching conditions, a new wave of coronavirus infections and government warnings they could be breaking the law to cast their ballots in the primary election for the city's democratic opposition over the weekend. The opposition camp is hoping to seize a historic majority in the parliament. It’s been less than two weeks since China implemented that restrictive new national security law in the autonomous city, and the government has already hinted that it may use the law to bar potentially dozens of opposition candidates from the general election. However, this weekend’s massive voter turnout has inspired cautious optimism. Poland also voted this weekend in their presidential election. Incumbent President Andrzej Duda has declared victory in the contest, but his challenger Rafal Trzaskowski has refused to concede, saying the race is still too close to call. Economy You thought the economy was already bad? Brace yourself. Major companies are getting ready to release their second quarter earnings, and the numbers are predicted to be even worse. Analysts predict that earnings for the S&P 500 plummeted nearly 45% in the quarter, which would be the biggest drop since a 69% plunge during the depths of the Great Recession in the fourth quarter of 2008. Investors are hoping for a robust recovery early next year. There is fresh economic danger for low income Americans, as well. Many states implemented freezes on utility shutoffs when pandemic restrictions were at their peak. Even though the pandemic is still raging, those moratoriums are being lifted, which could leave countless low-income and unemployed households without power, water and other necessities. Election 2020 Texas? A swing state?! That’s what a new election poll suggests. President Trump is neck-and-neck with Vice President Joe Biden in three key states he won in 2016, according to a set of CBS News/YouGov polls. In Texas, Trump leads Biden 46% to 45% -- a slim margin that makes the historically red state an election toss-up. (A Democratic presidential candidate hasn’t won Texas since 1976.) The other danger zones for Trump: Arizona, where he and Biden are tied, and Florida, where his prevalence has dropped to 48% opposite Biden’s 42%. The new poll isn’t an outlier, either. There have been eight polls released publicly since the beginning of June. The overarching conclusion is that Biden and Trump are basically tied, and previously untouchable states are now fertile ground.

India’s coronavirus cases, Himalayas, K-pop: Your Monday Briefing

(Want to get this briefing by email? Here’s the sign-up.)

Good morning.

We’re covering India’s growing outbreak, the tensions between India and China in the Himalayas and Lebanon’s financial crisis.

India’s raging coronavirus outbreak reaches a revered actor and his circle

On a day when India reported more than 28,000 new coronavirus infections, one case in particular caught the whole country’s attention: Amitabh Bachchan, a Bollywood star and one of India’s most revered figures.

Mr. Bachchan, known as Big B, announced on Saturday to his 43 million followers on Twitter that he had tested positive, before urging his recent contacts to get tested themselves. His son, Abhishek, and daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, both actors, have also become infected.

India, which closed down early and then reopened to save its battered economy, is now racking up about 30,000 new reported infections each day — more than any other country except the United States and Brazil. And it is rapidly catching up to Brazil. With more than 850,000 cases nationwide, hospitals in India are overflowing.

case study: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/10/world/europe/coroanvirus-scotland-england.html

Here are the latest updates and maps of where the virus has spread.

In other developments:

Caught between Indian and Chinese troops

Weeks after a deadly brawl erupted along the border between China and India, thousands of both countries’ troops are amassed over a contentious, jagged line in the Himalayas.

New satellite photos reveal a major Chinese buildup, including new tents, storage sheds, artillery pieces and even tanks. It all adds up to a growing Chinese push into the Indian region of Ladakh, a move locals say has been in the works for years.

Our reporter spoke to some of the few thousand Ladakhis trapped in between, who are Tibetan in culture but who identify as Indian. They say that incursions have happened for years within a code of silence.

Details: Indian Army officials, who declined to comment, did not act when Ladakhis told them of Chinese incursions into the area, perhaps avoiding conflict or refusing to face the fact that a more powerful and aggressive military was steadily nibbling away at it.

Context: Analysts say China may be taking a more aggressive approach in the area, and may have been provoked by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s brand of renewed Indian nationalism.

A protest vote in Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s opposition party said on Sunday that over 600,000 residents of the city cast ballots in primaries that some viewed as a symbolic vote against tough national security laws.

The unofficial poll will decide the strongest pro-democracy candidates to contest elections in September for Hong Kong’s Legislative Council. The party is aiming for a majority in what is usually a pro-Beijing body by riding a wave of anti-China sentiment stirred by the new laws.

Though the primaries are only for the opposition camp, participation can be seen as a gauge for popular opinion. It remains to be seen whether Beijing’s new powers will make that path impossible.

Quotable: “A high turnout will send a very strong signal to the international community, that we Hong Kongers never give up,” said Sunny Cheung, 24, one of a batch of aspiring young democrats out lobbying and giving stump speeches.

If you have 13 minutes, this is worth it

Haunted by those she could not save

For all their hero status, health workers around the world face intense pressure and stress, intensified by this pandemic. Dr. Lorna Breen, above, was known for being an unflappable emergency room doctor in Manhattan — until the virus. She suffered a breakdown in the midst of the crisis, and she died by suicide in April.

Dozens of her loved ones shared memories of her with our reporters, and told them about how she was devastated that she could not help many of her patients. “She had something that was a little bit different,” recalled her colleague and friend Dr. Barbara Lock, “and that was this optimism that her persistent efforts will save lives.”

Here’s what else is happening

China: Xu Zhangrun, a law professor in Beijing known for criticizing the Communist Party, was allowed to go home after being detained a week ago, people familiar with him said.

K-pop: Fans of the band Blackpink, many of them in India, unleashed a torrent of criticism, including accusations of cultural appropriation and disrespect, after a statue of the Hindu god Ganesha flashed onscreen in a music video. The video was removed, and the band apologized. It was another example of how eagle-eyed K-pop fans will come together to push for issues they believe in.

Roger Stone: President Trump’s commutation of the sentence of his former campaign adviser for obstructing an investigation into Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign was the latest example of Mr. Trump bending legal machinery to his advantage.

In case you missed it: The center-right People’s Action Party, which has never been out of power, won again in Singapore’s elections, but by a narrower margin than usual. The opposition racked up a record 10 of Parliament’s 93 seats.

Snapshot: Above, the police drag protesters in Beirut on Sunday. Our correspondents took stock of how Lebanon’s financial crisis has sent inflation soaring and closed businesses, replacing the city’s once raucous nightlife with an eerie desolation.

What we’re reading: This South China Morning Post article about students derailed by U.S. visa restrictions. “U.S.-China tensions are playing out not just on the world stage but at schools like the University of Rochester, where 19 percent of students are Chinese,” writes Jennifer Jett, an editor in Hong Kong. “But it’s not as simple as one side against the other.”

Now, a break from the news

Cook: David Tanis’s vegetarian burger doesn’t mimic the texture or look of ground meat, but it isn’t meant to. It’s more like deluxe refried beans, with an egg on top.

Personal finance lessons

Paul B. Brown, a freelance writer, entered the pandemic believing he was in good shape financially, but he lost most of his income virtually overnight. Now, he says, he has a lot more to do. He shared some of the lessons he has learned.

Keep even more cash on hand.

The standard personal finance advice is to have at least three months of living expenses stashed away in something liquid and ultrasafe. I am going to try to get that number up to a year’s worth of reserves. The goal is more to create peace of mind than to increase my net worth. I never want to worry about meeting day-to-day expenses again.

Manage debt more aggressively.

I’ve always paid off my full credit card balances each month, so I have never had credit card debt. But I do have three mortgages. I always paid more than I had to each month on each mortgage, because I considered prepaying a kind of forced savings. The mortgages have different interest rates. From now on, I am going to put all extra payments toward the one with the highest interest rate.

Keep the big picture in mind.

You never buy insurance because you hope to submit a claim someday. You do it to protect against a time when something awful may happen. I have always thought of saving money the same way.

But the pandemic has made me realize that I’m not sure how much I’ll really need to have salted away to protect my family and to keep our solidly middle-class standard of living intact, both now and into the future.

That’s it for this briefing. See you next time.
