Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain's Ishita Ganguly on celebrating World Environment Day: Let's not wait for a miracle, let's be the miracle for Mother Earth
brought a refreshing change of pace on the sets of the TV show Badi Haveli Ki Chhoti Thakurain, as lead actors Diksha Dhami (Chaina), Sheel Verma (Jaiveer), and (Chamkili) took part in a special plantation drive. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Amidst a busy shoot schedule, the trio stepped away from the cameras to plant saplings around their set — each one personally committing to do their bit to protect the planet. For Ishita Ganguly, the experience was deeply personal. "For me, Environment Day is not just about one day, it's about every little choice we make, every single day," she shared. "Today, planting those saplings around our set felt really special. I've always found peace in nature – the sound of rustling leaves, the scent of wet soil after rain, or just watching the sky change colours at sunset. Nature grounds me and reminds me what truly matters. " She also offered simple but effective eco-friendly habits she follows in her daily life: "To avoid future problems, I carry my own water bottle, avoid plastic, reuse what I can, and plant at least one sapling every year. These might seem like small things, but they make a big difference when done with intention." Reflecting on her emotional connection with the environment, Ishita added: "We often look for magic in big achievements or faraway places, but honestly, the Earth is the real magician – it heals our body and soul in its own unique ways. If we don't protect this magic now, we might lose it forever. I want to keep walking barefoot on soft grass, keep watching butterflies flutter around flowers, and keep breathing in fresh, clean air. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Let's not wait for a miracle – let's be the miracle for Mother Earth. Happy Environment Day!" Their initiative may have been quiet and simple, but the message it sent was loud and clear: it's the small, meaningful actions that help nurture a healthier planet for tomorrow.

Raj orders probe into mom-to-be'sdeath in blood mix-up at SMS hosp
Jaipur: The Rajasthan health department instituted Friday a high-level inquiry into a 23-year-old pregnant woman's death at Jaipur's SMS Hospital after an allegedly negligent mix-up led to her receiving blood of the wrong type. It was the third such instance since Feb 2024 of a patient dying of complications allegedly caused by a blood mismatch during transfusion at state-run hospitals in the capital city. The probe was ordered after TOI's exclusive report on Friday, 'Mom-to-be, 23, dies at SMS hosp after blood transfusion goof-up', on Chaina of Bada Gaon village near Niwai in Tonk district, who was administered A+ blood despite being B+ positive on May 20, triggering complications that turned fatal two days later. Rajasthan State Human Rights Commission, too, sought "a detailed factual report" from SMS Medical College by June 12. Medical education secretary Ambrish Kumar convened a meeting with SMS Medical College's principal, Dr Deepak Maheshwari, and other officials before setting up a three-member inquiry committee consisting of the additional principal and heads of the medicine and transfusion medicine departments. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo The panel's brief is to review everything from sample collection procedures to transfusion protocols and fix responsibility for the alleged goof-up. "The panel will submit its findings by Monday," said Dr Sushil Bhati, medical superintendent of SMS Hospital. Chaina had been admitted to the state's largest govt hospital with low haemoglobin, severe tuberculosis and other complications on May 12. The medical staff recommended transfusion and sent a request to the blood bank with her sample, marked A+, on May 19, sources said. The woman received the recommended units of blood the next day. When a sample was again sent with a fresh requisition later, it was found that her blood group was B+. The case raised serious concerns about blood transfusion protocols in govt hospitals. While hospital authorities maintained that the patient was already critical due to miliary tuberculosis and pregnancy complications, the transfusion reaction report accessed by TOI confirmed severe adverse reactions including haematuria, tachycardia, fever and chills following the transfusion of wrong blood type.

It's been a refreshing change for me as an actor.' Growing up in Dehradun, Diksha had to put in extra effort to master the thick UP accent required for Raseeli's role.

But Raseeli's entry isn't just about adding drama. She arrives with a clear mission—to win back her love, Jaiveer , and to expose the manipulative games of Chamkili and Tapasya .
