The juggernaut of fun-filled contests on Web Talkies’ ‘Manoranjan ke 100 Din’ continues with ‘Samadhan Ki Samasya’

Continuing its streak of innovative shows coupled with unique contests, Web Talkies, the latest digital home entertainment brand in the country, is set to launch another competition linked with its popular satirical show, ‘Samadhan Ki Samasya’. Based on a hapless helpline operator who does not have a clue on how to solve the tricky situations faced by the callers, the contest calls for creative answers to the question ‘Why do you hate Samadhan’? The participant with the best answer will be awarded a brand new smartphone. Moreover, 10 2^ndprize winners will get a chance to grab amazing goody bags while 50 3^rd prize winners will win special gift vouchers. 

The show, ‘Samadhan Ki Samasya’ has been well appreciated for the whacky scenarios through which the operator and potential problem-solver, S.D. Nagagoje aka Samadhan, becomes the problem himself.  With subtle political undertones and social commentary combined with oodles of humour, the show has quickly become a favourite with Web Talkies’ viewers.

“Viewers share an interesting love-hate relationship with Nagagoje,” Web Talkies Virendra Shahaney said while speaking of the show and the contest. “Keeping his popularity in mind, we thought it would be great to pose a direct question and gauge the different parameters through which viewers relate with the operator’s character. Everyone has, at some point of time, been in this unenviable situation of handling a job or a situation for wh

ich they are completely ill-equipped. Thus, we wanted to explore the different emotions felt by viewers towards a helpline operator who obviously, needs some help himself.”

The ‘Manoranjan ke 100 Din’ campaign was launched by Web Talkies to celebrate the completion of 100 days of entertaining its viewers with fun-filled and variety original entertainment content. On from the 23^rd of September to 21^st of October, a series of contests have already been featured in this campaign, garnering massive response from viewers. With ‘Why do you hate Samadhan’, Web Talkies hopes to continue the exciting stream of audience interaction and endear them further to the characters of its popular web properties.

Here are the five styling tips, from TIMC Fashion:

-          Use shades of pastels and shine of silver when you get married and move away from the usual gold or bright shades to showcase your own taste.

-          If your closet is full of neutral shades, such as, navy, black and gray, then make sure that you add some energy to it by bringing in boldly hued shoes and bags to accentuate your look.

-          Go the scarf way! Stash one in your purse and keep it ready as an accessory that can help you change your look, as and when needed.

-          If you're petite and shapely, it would be advisable to avoid billowy maxis, no matter how much you love them. Go for a dress with a defined waist and just-above-the-knee hem to create the right look.

-          When in doubt, go with the smaller size in jeans as they always tend to stretch, and nothing's more unflattering than the unintentionally baggy denims.

Come and join this fashionable journey with our fashion experts Riya Ray as she takes you through to the fast lane of celebrity fashion with TIMC Fashion.

Akshay Dogra goes shirtless for his show Warris on &TV

It’s the season to go shirtless in the industry. However, that does put a lot of pressure on the actors to have chiselled greek god bodies. in a bid to be seen as the perfect one, many actors are seen slaving it out in gyms at unearthly hours. Now, it is obvious that if audiences only see chiselled bodies then they will also aspire to achieve that body.

However, Akshay Dogra who will be seen shirtless in his show has decided to go ahead and shoot inspite of not having a great body. He is advocating the fact that one should be confident and love the body which they have. He feels that body shamming has taken such big proportion that there are many people who suffer because of this and by doing this he wants the world to know that being happy is more important than a six pack.Speaking about the same Akshay said,”  We live in an age where television influences the young very easily. if we continuously bombard them with imagery of picture perfect bodies we put unnecessary stress on them to be the same. I am extremely comfortable in the way i look and i would advise people also to enjoy life and not confirm to societal norms.
