• 150 couples come together to break the world-record for the Largest Shaving Lesson EVER!!
• Gillette Shave Sutra demonstrates how with the comfort of Mach 3 Turbo Sensitive shaving becomes so effortless that even your partner can shave you.
Shortly after the launch of Shave India Movement 3, Gillette, has achieved yet another milestone by taking the success to the next level. Shave India Movement 3, today, witnessed 150 couples coming together at a common venue to engage in a shaving activity to break the world-record for the World’s Largest Shaving Lesson – Gillette Shave Sutra.
Gillette Mach3 Turbo Sensitive came on board to support the Shave India Movement 3, following the results of a Nielsen survey, revealing the preference for the clean-shaven look by a majority of Indian women. The movement kick-started earlier in January, with the Stop Prickly Men’s Stubble campaign supported by leading Bollywood divas Preity Zinta, Neha Dhupia and Malaika Arora Khan. Stop Prickly Men’s Stubble is one of a kind movement started by like-minded women to tell men that their stubble is prickly for women and they need to get rid of it by shaving EVERYDAY.
To add momentum to the campaign, Bollywood actors Arjun Rampal & Malaika Arora Khan came to the rescue of Indian men by solving the eternal mystery of – What Women Want and that was clearly clean-shaven and well-groomed men.
Gillette Shave Sutra - World’s Largest Shaving lesson saw 150 men getting the ‘perfect shave’, helping them to look and feel their best. These men along with their partners, all supporters of the Gillette Mach3 Turbo Sensitive, Shave India Movement 3, gathered in an attempt to create a record for the world’s Largest Shaving Lesson – Gillette Shave Sutra in the Guinness Book of World Records, Limca Book of records and India Book of Records.
Actor Arjun Rampal, the new brand ambassador of Gillette said, “The Gillette Mach 3 Turbo Sensitive, Shave India Movement 3 generated phenomenal response from the masses. The Gillette Shave Sutra is a fitting reply to the cry from large sections of women asking men to Stop Prickly Men’s Stubble. We want couples to start enjoying shaving together and making it more fun. Clearly, shaving is no longer a chore. This is a great moment for India with so many couples having gathered here today to signify that men should get rid of their stubble and sport the clean-shaven look.”
Commenting on her support to Shave India Movement 3, actress Neha Dhupia, said, “Women find the act of shaving their men alluring. With this movement, Gillette has put forward a unique thought that shaving can be made a fun activity that both partners can engage in and enjoy together. With the overwhelming success of the campaign, I see more and more men stepping forward to shave and be more thoughtful towards the needs of their women. The Nielsen survey highlighted that 89% men agree that Sensitive skin needs a sensitive shave. I am glad that Gillette has launched the Mach 3 Turbo Sensitive at an affordable price of Rs 125/-, for men with sensitive skin who can now shave everyday even on the more sensitive areas of their face”.
Speaking on this historical occasion that is poised to go down in the world-record books, Sharat Verma, Marketing Manager, Gillette India Limited, said, “Today is truly an incredible moment as Gillette is all set to create the shaving world-record yet again this year. Gillette has always believed in enabling men to look and feel their best and the launch of the Gillette Mach3 Turbo Sensitive razor at Rs 125 is a step in that direction. Mach 3 Turbo sensitive is backed by excellent research and technology that provides consumers with sensitive skin a close and comfortable shave with less irritation, even on the most sensitive areas of the face - including the neck and jaw line. It makes shaving effortless”
Gillette Mach 3 Turbo Sensitive Shave India Movement 3 would not have achieved the success it has without support from renowned celebrities like R Madhavan, Tisca Chopra, Samir Soni, Anchal Kumar, VJ Bani, Radhika Pandit, Shruti Seth, Danish Aslam and Niketan Madhok, Rhea Saran etc, who played a key role in influencing more and more consumers to join this movement.
Steps for a Perfect Shave
Below are the five steps to a Perfect Shave that we aim to educate women on to attempt the record for the largest shaving lesson
1. Soak before you shave – Beard hair is about as tough as copper wire, soften it by washing your face and neck with warm water and a mild soap, removing natural oils and perspiration that inhibits water penetration. After approximately 3 minutes of soaking, your beard hair will be optimally softened; infact the force required to cut beard hair is reduced by almost 70% after only 2 minutes.
2. Apply shave gel – Although water is an essential softening agent, it evaporates quickly. Shaving cream or gel moisturizes and softens beard hair, creating a protective layer of lubrication to maximize razor glide. In addition, using a shave gel reduces friction between blade and skin, improving razor glide for a smoother shave.
3. Use light, gentle strokes – Use light, gentle strokes with or against whisker growth for ultimate comfort with a superior quality razor and rinse frequently to prevent build-up on the blade edges.
4. Shave tricky spots last – The toughest hairs grow on the chin and around the lips. Save these areas for last as more time soaking in shave gel will soften them further.
5. After shaving, rinse your face with cool water and pat dry – At the end of every shave, rinse your face and neck with cool water to close pores and soothe freshly exfoliated skin. Rinse your razor thoroughly and shake off excess water before storing. Do not wipe the blades as this can damage the fine shaving surface. End, your shave, with a superior after shave lotion which calms and moisturizes your face after shaving.

In the most popular comedy, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, the news spreads that Sundar has gone missing from his home in Ahmedabad. After receiving a threatening call from Ahmedabad, Jethai instructs Dayaben not to allow her brother to hide at their house as he is absconding with a lot of money. But being the doting sister, Dayaben goes against her husband’s wishes and hides her brother Sunder in their house. They manage to keep this big secret from Jethabhai for four whole days.
On the day of Holi, Sunder is tempted to go outside and join everyone else in the celebrations. He decides to cover his face with a lot of colour so that nobady can recognize him, especially Jethalal. However the secret cannot remain covered any further and his true identity is revealed.
In Ring Wrong Riing too it’s a magical holi with Manasi & Vijay.
In Papad Pol, Kokila wants to be the first one to color Vinay but Vinay is too quick for her and manages to colour her first. But all around them, it seems to be a lot of silence as no one else seems to be in the mood to play. Vinay tries to cheer his friends by reminding them of the other times Holi would be celebrated in the ‘Pol’. That cheers them all up and they begin to enjoy the festivities. Meanwhile, RJ enters with Dev and Mrinal to do the ‘Bhoomi Pujan’. However a bucket filled with coloured water tied to a tress falls down on RJ which makes him quite angry. He leaves. Vinay throws colour on everyone and everyone continues to enjoy. Kokila notices Hetal’s absence and goes to look for her. She finds out that Hetal is missing her husband Manu. Kokila cheers her up and makes her join in on the festivities.
In the delightful comedy Mrs. Tendulkar, the society members decide to celebrate Holi, but there is no water. Unable to play Holi without water, they complain to the municipality and finally, their problem is resolved. Amongst all the society members gathered to enjoy the festivities, Suhas realizes that Kamla tai is not around. He discovers that she has locked herself in the house and refuses to come out. Not willing to be defeated and wanting to finally get all the details, Suhas decides to take the help of the rest of the society members and a human ladder is made.
As he begins to climb up, he gets tempted by a plate of ‘bhajias’ and falls down. Finally, he manages to enter the house with Vibha and is surprised to see a different side of the ever-so-strict Kamla tai. The mystery of her strictness is finally resolved and Suhas manages to convince her to let down her hair enjoy the festival with the rest of the society members.
In true traditional style, this time, the people of Lapataganjdecide to celebrate Holi with the famous Lathhmaar Holi of Barsaane. All the ladies get very excited they get a golden opportunity to hit their men. However, it is not only the women who want to beat up the men.

Ontario, Canada to host IIFA Weekend and Awards 2011
Ontario, Canada to host IIFA Weekend and Awards 2011
Toronto to be first North American city to host the
International Indian Film Academy Awards
Toronto. Having travelled to locations like Great Britain, China, Europe, Middle East, Thailand and Sri Lanka in the past, the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) will make its North American debut in Ontario, Canada this year. The three- day long IIFA Weekend and Awards is all set to take place from the 23rd to 25th of June.
IIFA is a global platform that gives the Indian film fraternity an opportunity to reach audiences in international territories. It also establishes a symbiotic relationship between India and the host country in areas such as tourism, culture and trade. Canada has been a popular destination for filming and showcasing of Indian films and while many prominent films have been showcased at the Toronto International Film Festival, several movies have been filmed in this picturesque country, making it a great choice for this year’s IIFA celebrations.
Canada has an Asian population of over 960,000, with 550,000 Indians living in the Greater Toronto Area. This gives Indian Cinema a huge audience in Canada and makes it a very popular form of entertainment.
Speaking on hosting IIFA 2011 in Ontario, Hon’ble Premier of Ontario, Dalton McGuinty shared, “Ontario’s diversity makes us stronger and the IIFA Weekend and Awards are proof of that. The weekend will build on the growing economic and cultural ties between our province and India and showcase Ontario to the world.”
Known for its cultural, entertainment and metropolitan scene, Toronto is an ideal choice for IIFA 2011. Toronto is considered a global city and is one of the top financial centres in the world. The Toronto International Film Festival welcomes more than 450,000 people every year, including film executives, movie buffs and everyday citizens in a celebration of film.
Sonia Baxendale, President of CIBC Retail Markets – the presenting sponsor of the IIFA Awards 2011 added, “CIBC has a long history of celebrating Canada’s rich cultural diversity. This diversity is reflected in our employee base across the country, the millions of clients that we attract and serve and the communities that we call home across Canada. IIFA 2011 will not only shine a spotlight on the very best of the Indian film industry from around the world, but, as importantly, it will showcase the diversity, pride and passion of Canada’s South Asian communities, and Canadians of all backgrounds”
Longtime IIFA supporter, Indian Cinema super star, Anil Kapoor said, “IIFA’s journey over the last ten years has opened many doors for the Indian film Industry in the host country, be it in terms of film shooting avenues or the assistance given to filmmakers and producers from Government and Tourism bodies. IIFA has also helped propel Indian Cinema, by virtue of the deals that have been struck with production houses and the screening of our films that would have never had the opportunity to be showcased there, prior to the IIFA event.”
Leading Bollywood actress, Preity Zinta said, “I think IIFA is a very novel venture and has allowed our Indian Film Fraternity to expand its wings over the globe with IIFA’s remarkable idea of taking the fraternity to different cities and countries each year. Through the 11 successful years that IIFA has completed, we have experienced unbelievable love from global fans. IIFA gives us the opportunity to see firsthand the support we are receiving beyond borders. I am very excited to see the IIFA action shift to Toronto this year, which shares a close association with India.”
As testament to its mission of integration and building bridges between countries, The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) is associating itself with the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto, York and Peel as a part of the IIFA Weekend and Awards celebrations in Ontario. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto, York and Peel is a mentoring organization for children and youth and is committed to providing caring adult relationships for children to promote their healthy development and enhance their self esteem.
Air India is India’s national carrier connecting India with the rest of the world. Air India is the only airline that flies directly from India to Canada. Speaking on the partnership, Mr Arvind Jadhav, Chairman and Managing Director, Air India said, "Air India celebrates its association with Bollywood. Indian film industry actors are our cultural ambassadors and we, the national carrier, do take genuine pride in flying them to Toronto for the International Indian Film Academy Awards."
“Air India is proud to be the only airline which links India to Toronto by a direct non-stop, state-of-the-art technology Boeing 777 aircraft, giving the passengers the best in terms of class, comfort and convenience. Air India is also proud to be associated as the official travel partner of IIFA, 12th edition - the Oscars of Bollywood. We wish the event to be a grand success," Mr Jadhav added.
Sabbas Joseph, Director, Wizcraft said, “Toronto is a great choice for IIFA’s North American premiere. We have already gained a great response from people across Canada, America and key territories across the world with guests eager to join the celebrations in Toronto. We are certain that this year’s IIFA will be absolutely memorable.”
The IIFA Celebrations in Toronto comprises six major events and a myriad of smaller interactive events. The major events are the world premiere, the IIFA Rocks, the FICCI-IIFA Global Business Forum, the IIFA Film festival, IIFA Film Workshop and the IIFA Awards.

Canada has been a popular destination for filming and showcasing of Indian films and while many prominent films have been showcased at the Toronto International Film Festival, several movies have been filmed in this picturesque country, making it a great choice for this year’s IIFA celebrations.
Canada has an Asian population of over 960,000, with 550,000 Indians living in the Greater Toronto Area. This gives Indian Cinema a huge audience in Canada and makes it a very popular form of entertainment.
Speaking on hosting IIFA 2011 in Ontario, Hon’ble Premier of Ontario, Dalton McGuinty shared, “Ontario’s diversity makes us stronger and the IIFA Weekend and Awards are proof of that. The weekend will build on the growing economic and cultural ties between our province and India and showcase Ontario to the world.”
Known for its cultural, entertainment and metropolitan scene, Toronto is an ideal choice for IIFA 2011. Toronto is considered a global city and is one of the top financial centres in the world. The Toronto International Film Festival welcomes more than 450,000 people every year, including film executives, movie buffs and everyday citizens in a celebration of film.
Sonia Baxendale, President of CIBC Retail Markets – the presenting sponsor of the IIFA Awards 2011 added, “CIBC has a long history of celebrating Canada’s rich cultural diversity. This diversity is reflected in our employee base across the country, the millions of clients that we attract and serve and the communities that we call home across Canada. IIFA 2011 will not only shine a spotlight on the very best of the Indian film industry from around the world, but, as importantly, it will showcase the diversity, pride and passion of Canada’s South Asian communities, and Canadians of all backgrounds”
Longtime IIFA supporter, Indian Cinema super star, Anil Kapoor said, “IIFA’s journey over the last ten years has opened many doors for the Indian film Industry in the host country, be it in terms of film shooting avenues or the assistance given to filmmakers and producers from Government and Tourism bodies. IIFA has also helped propel Indian Cinema, by virtue of the deals that have been struck with production houses and the screening of our films that would have never had the opportunity to be showcased there, prior to the IIFA event.”
Leading Bollywood actress, Preity Zinta said, “I think IIFA is a very novel venture and has allowed our Indian Film Fraternity to expand its wings over the globe with IIFA’s remarkable idea of taking the fraternity to different cities and countries each year. Through the 11 successful years that IIFA has completed, we have experienced unbelievable love from global fans. IIFA gives us the opportunity to see firsthand the support we are receiving beyond borders. I am very excited to see the IIFA action shift to Toronto this year, which shares a close association with India.”
As testament to its mission of integration and building bridges between countries, The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) is associating itself with the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto, York and Peel as a part of the IIFA Weekend and Awards celebrations in Ontario. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto, York and Peel is a mentoring organization for children and youth and is committed to providing caring adult relationships for children to promote their healthy development and enhance their self esteem.
Air India is India’s national carrier connecting India with the rest of the world. Air India is the only airline that flies directly from India to Canada. Speaking on the partnership, Mr Arvind Jadhav, Chairman and Managing Director, Air India said, "Air India celebrates its association with Bollywood. Indian film industry actors are our cultural ambassadors and we, the national carrier, do take genuine pride in flying them to Toronto for the International Indian Film Academy Awards."
“Air India is proud to be the only airline which links India to Toronto by a direct non-stop, state-of-the-art technology Boeing 777 aircraft, giving the passengers the best in terms of class, comfort and convenience. Air India is also proud to be associated as the official travel partner of IIFA, 12th edition - the Oscars of Bollywood. We wish the event to be a grand success," Mr Jadhav added.
Sabbas Joseph, Director, Wizcraft said, “Toronto is a great choice for IIFA’s North American premiere. We have already gained a great response from people across Canada, America and key territories across the world with guests eager to join the celebrations in Toronto. We are certain that this year’s IIFA will be absolutely memorable.”
The IIFA Celebrations in Toronto comprises six major events and a myriad of smaller interactive events. The major events are the world premiere, the IIFA Rocks, the FICCI-IIFA Global Business Forum, the IIFA Film festival, IIFA Film Workshop and the IIFA Awards.

Raja Cheated on me again: Sharaddha Sharma confesses on UTV Bindass Love Lockup!
This week on UTV Bindass’ reality show Love Lockup Raja Chaudhary seems to have gone all out in expressing his love for his girlfriend Shradhha Sharma. On being asked about his image created and portrayed in the media he promptly responded saying that he has done mistakes but the media has stuck all his doings of past few years and blown it out of proportion to prove him wrong.. All in support of her man, Shraddha instantly added saying that small petty fights happen with everyone and it’s not like Raja has landed up committed some heinous crime so far. On the first day inside the Lockup when Raja’s parents were brought inside the house to spend some quality time with the couple, it only led to a series of unsettling revelations. As a surprise a video of Raja’s mother was played where she clearly confessed that Raja’s ex-wife Shweta Tiwari was a far better choice of the ideal woman for Raja. This definitely didn’t go down too well in the current flame in Rajas life and Shraddha in an outrage said that she doesn’t want to be the second choice in anyone’s life.
If the drama on the first day wasn’t enough, Raja’s friend Ritesh entered as a visitor and hell broke loose as revelation after revelation stirred a rage. Ritesh left no stones unturned on pointing fingers on Shraddha blaming her for several things and went to the extent to claim that Sharaddha was just a nobody before she met Raja. On hearing this Sharaddha went on a temper outburst as she went forward and abused, kicked and slapped Ritesh for such false allegations. When Raja intervened he too was on the receiving end of the Sharddha’s anger and in the whole scenario Shraddha confessed on the show that Raja had recently cheated on her all over again.
What would happen further when the couple is made to face their true feelings and emotions? Will this love survive the bait or will it be a good time to head towards a split up altogether?
Watch this and a lot more this week on UTV Bindass Love Lockup, 5th and 6th March, 7 p.m. 2010 only on UTV Bindass!
