Yesterday, almost as if it was the result of a conspiracy engineered by Nagpur, saw Independence Day coinciding with the Janmashtami and Dahi Handi festival.

As part of the celebration, a crowd of over 10,000 people gathered at a ground in Thane to attend MLA and real estate developer Pratap Sarnaik's annual celebrations Among those who were there were Aadar Jain and Aanya Singh the YRF protégés whose debut film Qaidi Band releases next week. Jain was an invitee of Purvesh Sarnaik, son of the politician, who recently had turned film producer for designer Vikram Phadnis's Hrudayantar.

According to sources, the actor had the crowd eating out of his hands as he addressed them in Marathi and performed his track 'I am India'. Incidentally, we are informed that a new world record was set by a group of daredevils who took under a minute to break nine levels of the Dahi Handi pyramid!
