While viewers have always seen her being shy and docile, this week she is all set to shock everyone with her evil avatar as a Thakurain. It so happens that Teeka and Malkan come across a ‘payal’ which AngooriBhabhi lands up wearing. Immediately, her behavior changes as she is seen dancing and walking around alone eerily. Tiwari (Rohitash Gaud) too is perplexed on seeing her unusual actions. It is soon revealed that she has been possessed by the spirit of a Thakurain who has returned to avenge her death. 

Shubhangi’s look for the sequence is similar to VidyaBalan’s from BhootBhulaiya. Speaking about preparing for the role Shubhangi shared, “The role was extremely challenging for me as it was something I had never done before. My character had dialogues in Urdu which I had to learn. Also, the look is drastically different from that of Angoori’s. It is inspired from VidyaBalan’sManjulika look from BhoolBhulaiya. Since in the sequence it is shown that the character has a royal past, I had to act like a Thakurian which was little tough.” She further added “Another challenge for me was to make my voice sound a little hoarse. My voice is very soft but the character was very bold and strong. It sounds very different from how I do in real life. So I had to practice for hours to get into the character”

Kailash Satyarthi announces Bharat Yatra on Child Sexual Abuse and Trafficking

New Delhi, August  Kailash Satyarthi, is embarking on a historic Bharat Yatra to spearhead the fight against child trafficking and child sexual abuse across the country. The culmination of the Yatra will be in the national capital of Delhi, on the 15^th of October. Kailash Satyarthi has been campaigning for the freedom, safety and security for children across the globe for the past 36 years. He has led the historic Global March Against Child Labor in 1998 that prompted the ILO to pass international conventions against the worst form of child labor, in addition to the Shiksha yatra in 2001, after which the Right to Education was included as a fundamental right in the Constitution of India.  As a prolific thought leader, he has been played a catalytic role in influencing social and political policies of our country. He won the Nobel Peace prize (2014) for his continuous efforts and struggle for the rights of children. The yatra will flag off from Kanyakumari on the 11^th of September, from the Vivekanand Memorial, commemorating the anniversary of the great leader’s address at Chicago in 1893.

This yatra is the manifestation of his belief in ‘Surakshit Bachpan-Surakshit Bharat’. The yatra will pass through 22 states covering 15,000 Kms and union territories over 35 days. The Yatra will start from Kanyakumari in the south, stretching across western India. Guwahati will lead the yatra from the eastern part of the country, while Srinagar will flag off the northern stretch. Announcing the Bharat Yatra with the parents of the survivors, Sh Kailash Satyarthi said,

“Today, I declare a war on child sexual abuse and trafficking. Today I am announcing Bharat Yatra, the biggest movement in history to make India safe again for children. I refuse to accept that the innocence, smiles and freedom of our children can keep getting stripped and raped. These are not ordinary crimes. This is a moral epidemic haunting our nation.”

As the architect of some of the largest civil body movements for a cause in the last four decades, Mr. Satyarthi’s lifelong mission is to eradicate all forms of violence against children.Mr. Satyarthi and his foundation KSCF have been preparing the ground for several months to launch the Yatra in September. As part of this ground work, Mr Satyarthi has travelled the length and breadth of country meeting citizens, faith leaders, employees and corporates, Parliamentarians, social organisations among others, all of whom have pledged their whole-hearted support to the Bharat Yatra, terming it as a necessary fight for our country to embark on and a noble cause to work towards.

Bharat Yatra is the launch of the three year campaign against child rape and child sexual abuse which is aimed at increasing awareness and reporting of the cases, strengthening intuitional response including medical health and compensations, ensuring protection for victims and witnesses during trials and increasing convictions of child sexual abuse in a time bound manner.

The launch also saw families of victims of trafficking and abuse who narrated the emotional and physical trauma they had to endure because of the misdeeds of a few. The families pledged their support hoping that it would bring about the revolution, the country needs to sustain its fight against the exploitation of children.

Recently he met parliamentarians in Delhi to apprise them of the issue of child trafficking and  child sexual abuse and seek their support in spreading the awareness against the menace. Last month he spoke with and inspired over 500 LinkedIn employees in Bangalore, about the need for corporates such as LinkedIn to take a strong stand for the future of our country and will continue to do this over the course of the next few months. He has been meeting with several faith heads in New Delhi and across the country to ensure that the fight permeates all sections of society, pan-India. The curtain raiser to this march in Delhi, saw the launch of the video for the Bharat Yatra, which highlighted the appeal of children across the country to unite and fight for their freedom, safety and security.
