The film draws a compelling parallel between two unsung heroes - one guarding our borders, the other safeguarding our food supply. It underscores their shared commitment to nation-building and the equal respect they deserve.
'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan' forms a powerful chapter in UPL's year-long storytelling initiative, 'Atoot Vishwas Ki Kahaniya' - a monthly video series that celebrates the unwavering trust and deep-rooted relationships within India's farming communities. Hosted on the dedicated YouTube channel Mitti Ke Rishtey - A UPL Initiative, the series brings to life authentic and heartfelt stories of farmers who embody resilience, community spirit, and an enduring bond with SAAF®, one of India's most trusted fungicides. Through these narratives, UPL pays tribute to the everyday heroes who nurture farmlands and safeguard livelihoods, reinforcing the values that keep our nation growing strong.
Commenting on the initiative Ashish Dobhal, CEO, UPL SAS, said: "At UPL, farmers are at the core of our mission. They are not just stakeholders - they are our partners in progress. This Independence Day, through 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan,' we extend our gratitude to another pillar of our nation - the soldier. Both protect India in their own profound ways, and this film is our tribute to their shared spirit of service and sacrifice."
Since its launch, SAAF® has been more than just a crop protection solution - it has been a symbol of trust in the fields. By helping farmers combat fungal diseases in crops and safeguard their harvests, SAAF® has played a vital role in securing rural livelihoods. 'Atoot Vishwas Ki Kahaniya' captures these connections, spotlighting not only farmers but also retail partners who have helped make SAAF® a household name across India's heartland.
The campaign, which began in April 2025 and runs through March 2026, will feature 12 short films in total. Five films have already been released, each capturing real-life farmer experiences and exploring powerful themes of trust, family bonds, and journeys of success. With 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan' now live, six more films will follow - continuing UPL's celebration of India's agricultural spirit and reaffirming its commitment to empowering farming communities.

Amitabh Bachchan Hails S. Jaishankar On KBC 17: 'He Speaks Like An Army Officer'
Amitabh Bachchan praised External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on the Independence Day special of Kaun Banega Crorepati. On the occasion of Independence Day, Kaun Banega Crorepati offered its audience a powerful gift with a special episode titled Independence Day Maha Utsav. The show brought together three fearless women officers from the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force who had played crucial roles in Operation Sindoor, a mission that dealt a strong response to Pakistan. The patriotic episode wasn't just filled with quiz questions but also with moments of respect, inspiration, and pride. One such moment came when host and megastar Amitabh Bachchan praised India's External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar, drawing parallels between his commanding diplomatic style and that of an Army officer. 'Tough Talk, Like a Soldier" During a round of questions that began directly from the sixth level, the contestants were shown a picture of former External Affairs Ministers Salman Khurshid and the late Sushma Swaraj. They were then asked to identify the next minister in sequence. The officers confidently answered: Dr. S. Jaishankar. Reacting with a smile, Amitabh Bachchan admitted that he often watches Jaishankar's interviews and is deeply impressed by his manner of speaking. 'He speaks so strongly and with such authority that it feels like he could easily be in the Army," Bachchan said. This candid remark instantly became the most talked-about moment of the episode, with viewers applauding the megastar for acknowledging Jaishankar's firm and fearless presence on the global stage. Fans on social media even hailed it as proof of India's diplomatic strength and Jaishankar's growing popularity. Heroes of Operation Sindoor Adding to the patriotic fervour were the three officers who graced the stage: Colonel Sophia Qureshi (Army), known for her exemplary service during United Nations missions. Wing Commander Vyomika Singh (Air Force), celebrated for her daring spirit in the skies. Commander Prerna Devasthali (Navy), who thrives on the challenges of the sea. These officers were instrumental in Operation Sindoor, where they played decisive roles against Pakistan. Their entry was welcomed with a standing ovation from the audience and from Amitabh Bachchan himself, reflecting the immense pride the nation feels for its women warriors. A Patriotic Celebration The special episode was a blend of knowledge, inspiration, and national pride. Along with the quiz, the show featured stories of sacrifice and courage from the three officers, interspersed with patriotic songs and tributes to the tricolour. A visibly moved Amitabh Bachchan remarked, 'It is an honour for me to share this stage with these brave daughters of India on this day." More Than Just Entertainment This Independence Day special of KBC was not only about questions and answers; it was about honouring the spirit of the armed forces and reminding viewers that India's daughters are second to none—whether defending borders, flying in the skies, or navigating the high seas. It was a celebration that blended entertainment with emotion, leaving viewers inspired, proud, and deeply connected to the spirit of the nation.

Malaika Arora Hints At Second Marriage; Udaipur Files Producer Blasts Hindu Audience For Film's Failure
Last Updated: Malaika Arora spoke about her marriage plans after divorcing Arbaaz Khan. Udaipur Files producer Amit Jani slammed Hindu audiences after the film's box office failure. Malaika Arora and Arbaaz Khan got married in 1998. Arora was about 25 years old at that time. Four years into their marriage, they welcomed their son Arhaan Khan in 2002. After being married for 18 years, the couple announced their separation in 2016 and finalised their divorce in 2017. While Arbaaz Khan is now remarried to Sshura Khan, is a second marriage on the cards for Malaika as well? In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Malaika mentioned that she is not closed off to the idea of another marriage. Udaipur Files, starring Vijay Raaz, released in theatres on August 8, 2025, but the film has failed to make an impression at the box office. According to trade portal Sacnilk, the movie has managed to collect only ₹1.54 crore so far, and is being labelled a flop. For more updates: Udaipur Files Producer SLAMS Hindu Audience For Watching Saiyaara, War 2 And Coolie: 'Jihaad Jeet Gaya' Rajesh Khanna was among the first superstars in Bollywood. While much is known about his marriage and separation from Dimple Kapadia in the late 90s, not much is known about his relationship with actress Anita Advani. Anita Advani claims that she married Rajesh Khanna in a secret ceremony and lived with him till his death in 2012. However, since Rajesh and Dimple were only separated and not divorced, the second marriage couldn't have been legal. On India's 79th Independence Day, veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar took to X (formerly Twitter) to extend his wishes. He shared a message, reminding his followers that freedom was earned through immense sacrifices by numerous freedom fighters, not simply given. A troll reacted to Javed Akhtar's message with a disgraceful comment suggesting he should celebrate Independence Day on August 14 instead. For those unaware, India celebrates its Independence Day on August 15, while Pakistan's is on August 14. Javed Akhtar shut down the troll with a powerful reminder that his ancestors laid down their lives fighting for India's freedom. A proud father, Amitabh Bachchan has showcased his pride in his son Abhishek Bachchan, who was feted with the Best Actor for 'I Want To Talk" at THE Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2025, and said that he is the honour of their family.
