Aamir Khan’s wife Kiran Rao belongs to Telangana State
It is interesting to note that film actor Aamir Khan’s wife Kiran Rao has her roots in Wanaparthy of Mahbubnagar district of Telangana. She is the granddaughter of J. Rameshwar Rao, Raja of Wanaparthy on her mother’s side. Her paternal grandfather happens to be Akbar Hydari, who was the Prime Minister of erstwhile Nizam’s state of Hyderabad. Interestingly, Kiran Rao is the maternal first cousin of Hindi actress Aditi Rao Hydari.
Kiran Rao married Aamir Khan in December 2005. In 2002, Aamir Khan had divorced his first wife Reena Dutta. Aamir and Kiran had met on the sets of the movie ‘Lagaan’, where Kiran was one of the film’s assistant directors. Kiran was raised in Kolkata, where she attended Loreto House. She then moved to Mumbai where she graduated with an economics major from the Sophia College for Women (Mumbai) in 1995. Kiran then shifted to Delhi and completed her Masters at AJK Mass Communication Research Center at Jamia Millia Islamia. Kiran and Aamir live in Bandra, Mumbai with their son, Azad Rao Khan.
Not a healthy scenario
Moody, angry and often aloof nurses at the top two State-run tertiary hospitals in Telangana, Gandhi and Osmania General Hospitals (OGH) is very common. There are numerous occasions when patients recovering in in-patient wings or intensive care units wait for hours for the nurses to show up. While the wait continues, the nurses do not show up. Blaming nurses for lack of ‘humane’ treatment is natural. However, the fact also remains that there is a serious health care delivery crisis in the top two tertiary hospitals, which have a combined strength of close to 3,000 beds. And it all boils down to shortage of nurses. The nursing staff shortage has all but crippled inpatient wards, intensive care units, dialysis units, outpatient facilities, vital cardiology, kidney and orthopaedic units and recovery wards in the two hospitals.
It (shortage) has also put immense pressure on the existing nurses, virtually draining out enthusiasm, motivation or passion towards their work. “Before blaming nurses for lack of humane treatment, one must understand the kind of pressure under which they function at OGH and Gandhi. It’s a shame that each nurse at both these hospitals has to work twice or thrice the normal duty time. The last time anybody bothered to recruit a nurse in Telangana and AP was way back in 2007,” says secretary, All India Nurses Federation, K. Sujavathi. Typically, OGH and Gandhi hospitals work in three shifts (morning, midday and night) and for each shift, both require close to 300 nurses, which accounts to 900 nurses for each hospital. However, OGH has a total of just 300 nurses, which means for one shift in a day, there will be only 100 available nurses to look after over 2,000 patients (outpatient and inpatient included). At Gandhi Hosptial, there are 200 nurses employed on permanent basis while 200 more are on contract basis.
This translates to 400 nurses instead of the required 900. “The situation is even bad if you look at the district hospital in King Koti or the three area hospitals in Vanasthalipuram, Golconda and Nampally. Depending on the patient inflow, each of the three area hospitals require between 40 and 50 nurses. However, at present each hospital has 20 nurses or less than that,” says Mariya from Telangana Government Nurses Association. It’s not like the State government does know the ground realities. Past proposals to recruit nurses on contract or permanent basis have not taken off.“There is no Nursing Council of Nursing Directorate on the lines of Medical Council to govern nurses in Telangana State. There is no interest on the part of the State government to recruit nurses from Telangana even after formation of a separate State,” is a very common refrain among them.

India win Nagpur Test by 124 runs, clinch series
Ravichandran Ashwin displayed his magic yet again to record a career-best figures of 7/66 as India clinched the four-match series against South Africa by taking an unassailable 2-0 lead with an emphatic 124-run win in the third cricket Test. Spinning a web of deceit, Ashwin had a superb match haul of 12 for 98, while leg spinner Amit Mishra claimed 3 for 51 as the hosts shot out the visitors for 185 in 89.5 overs in the second innings to wrap up the match 52 minutes after the tea session. This was also Virat Kohli’s first Test series win as a captain on home soil and also marked an end to South Africa’s track record of not losing a Test series away from home for nine long years. South Africa needed to score 310 to score for a series— levelling win but woefully fell short of the target, unable to negotiate the Indian spin threat led by 29-year-old Ashwin who completed his 4th 10—wicket haul in a match in his 31st Test.
Ashwin’s second innings victims included three left— handers — the opening duo of Dean Elgar, Stiaan van Zyl and Jean—Paul Duminy — apart from the prize wicket of AB de Villiers, the visitors’ most successful batsman on this visit. He fittingly took the last wicket, by clean bowling last man Morne Morkel through the gate in his final devastating spell of 4 for 16 in 19 balls. However, it was Mishra, who got the important breakthrough in the second session to break the stubborn 72— run fifth wicket stand between rival captain Hashim Amla (39) and Faf du Plessis (39), the visitors’ highest of the match after their capitulation for their lowest—ever total against India of 79 in the first innings. Mishra got rid of Amla to end the partnership and also packed off du Plessis soon afterwards before Ashwin polished off the tail with the second new ball in a devastating spell. With India winning at Mohali and Nagpur and the game in Bengaluru being washed out, the teams will play the inconsequential final Test at Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla from December 3
No Ban on ‘Bajirao Mastani’ !
Mumbai: A Pune court on Thursday dismissed a suit seeking a ban on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film “Bajirao Mastani” for allegedly distorting history relating to late king Shrimant Bajirao Peshwe and his family members. The court opined that the plaintiff could approach the Central Board of Film Certification, commonly known as Censor Board, with his grievances about the release of the film. “The film cannot be released without the authority of the Censor Board. The plaintiff can approach the concerned authority if he has any grievances about the release of the picture. Hence, the (civil) suit is not maintainable under section 91 of CrPc. The plea is rejected,” said S S Gulhane, Chief Judge, Senior Division, Pune, in his order. “Under section 91 of C.Pc, a suit is maintainable if it is a case of nuisance or other wrongful act likely to affect public life.
Production of a film cannot be termed as public nuisance. The act merely of affecting sentiments of a particular class do not amount to public nuisance. Hence, the suit is dismissed,” the judge noted. The suit, filed by Hemant Patil, president of NGO Bharat Against Corruption, alleged that historical facts had been wrongly portrayed in the film while showing late king Bajirao Peshwe and his wives Kashibai and Mastani. The “Pinga” song in the film shows leading heroines Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone dancing together, which, the plaintiff said “distorts” history. ‘Pinga’ dance is an integral part of Marathi culture and has been portrayed as an ‘item song’ in the film, advocate Wajid Khan argued on behalf of the plaintiff.
Earlier, Prasadrao Peshwe, the descendant of Bajirao Peshwa I, had also alleged that historical facts have been “altered” while portraying the late king and his wives in the film. In a letter written to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Prasadrao demanded that the government look into the matter, review the soon-to-be-released film, investigate the matter and take a decision accordingly. The film is set for release on December 18.

Being Nasty Is Okay For Heroine
Sonam Kapoor. a fashion icon of bollywood, Feminist and a charming young lady with strong opinions. She has never thought twice to speak out her mind. She says ‘I don’t care what people think about me as it’s exhausting to be somebody else than be myself.’ ‘I joined Twitter during Delhi 6 times as the Media was writing rubbish about me’. She also shares a weird experience when she called a interviewer asshole once and wondered aloud if she was allowed to say it’.
She says being feminist is about standing up for herself, fighting for the right and believes it is okay to be nasty for the right reasons and suggests the same to Sonaholics (Sonam Fans) too. A day after she spoke all this, the lady of fusion is on the path of divinity. She shared pictures of her and her family visiting Varanasi on occasion of Karthika-Pournami or Dev Deepawali as they call it in the north. She also shared the news that she and her sister are going to launch a new clothing line ‘Rheson’
Just before Diwali she said Maharashtra banning Pakisthani actors movies was ‘hypocrisy and more like British’s divide and rule policy to not let neighboring county actors work here. Intolerance of any kind is unacceptable, in a country known for tolerance. For an artiste it’s the scariest situation to be in. We grow through art, expression and love, if that very factor is curtailed we cannot grow as a country’.
Can This Film Do What Baahubali Did There?
Baahubali has just shocked the trade circuits and it will be still continuing it’s international victories as many european and other distributors vying to release the film in their local languages. And then, most stunning success of the film is the way it collected huge share in Bollywood.
Rajamouli’s magnificent creation Baahubali has stormed theatres in North India with Hindi dubbed version under the support of Karan Johar, only to register terrific numbers. Guess how much the film has made there? It’s nearly 50+ crores share from Hindi version alone as notable North territories like Mumbai, Delhi, East Punjab and Rajasthan resounded in the glory of this mighty film. Now that Bajirao Mastani is coming, trade observers are busy comparing both the movies.
Well, Bajirao’s Telugu version is also being aimed for December 18th release along with the original and lead pair Ranveer Singh along with Deepika Padukone will be promoting the film here. Will this historical story do what Baahubali has done in North? Even not 50+ crore share, a 25+ crore share will be considered a big success if we look into potential of Telugu market. Are you ready for the show Bajirao?
YSRCP MP Reddy Slaps Air India Officer
YSR Congress MP from Rajampet constituency in Kadapa, PV Mithun Reddy has allegedly slapped an Air India official. As per reports, Mithun slapped Air India Airport Manager in Tirupati for not allowing his relative to board flight after the boarding time is closed.
The incident occurred on Thursday when Mithun Reddy went to the cabin of AI Manager Rajasekhar and picked up an argument with him. When Mithun requsted Rajasekhar to issue boarding pass for his relative, the latter gently turned down Mithun Reddy’s request as the boarding time is closed. Mithun reportedly lost his cool and slapped Rajasekhar.
Going into details, Mithun had reached the Tirupati airport about 20 to 25 minutes before the flight’s departure with some of his relatives to board AI 541 to Delhi where the Parliament session is being held. AI Manager Rajasekhar didn’t allow through as the boadring time for a domestic flight is at least 45 minutes.
Police have registered a criminal case against Mithun Reddy and an investigation is going on. The incident yet again shown the VIP racism. It may be recalled that Mithun Reddy has beaten Daggubati Purandeswari and won with a thumping majority in 2014 general elections. He is the youngest MP from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
