Sharmila Tagore recalls shouting at Mausam co-star Sanjeev Kumar after he made her wait for 6 hours: ‘Gulzar Sahab had to pacify me'
Sharmila Tagore and the late Sanjeev Kumar shared screen space in films like Mausam, Faraar, Satyakam, Griha Pravesh, and Charitraheen, among others. During the promotion of her debut OTT venture Gulmohar on The Kapil Sharma Show in 2023, Sharmila shared an anecdote about her friendship with Sanjeev. She recalled that on her very first day of shooting for Mausam, he made her wait for six hours—causing them to start the film on a rather furious note. Also Read: Sharmila Tagore stayed in a chowkidar's room while Simi Garewal got a bungalow during the shoot of Satyajit Ray's Aranyer Din Ratri: 'You cannot imagine how hot it was' Sharmila shared, 'Sanjeev Kumar was my favorite. That time we used to have double shifts, so in the morning I was working with him in Faraar, and in the evening I worked with him on Mausam. I was playing a sex worker in the film, and it was my first day. I was very excited, we had a shift from 2 pm to 10 pm. I was ready to give the shot at 2 pm, and he came at 8 pm. I got so angry with him and said lots of things. Gulzar Sahab had to pacify me.' She added, 'The shooting kept going on, but I was not talking to him even when we shot for Faraar. Then I went and saw Aandhi and loved the film. So the next day, he was in the dressing room next to me, I knocked at his door and told him that he is a very good actor. We shook hands and I forgave him. But I told him that next time, if he is planning to be late, he should inform me, because it is very rude otherwise. Then we became friends. He was a lovely person.' On the work front, Sharmila Tagore was last seen in the Bengali film Puratawn.

Lightning deaths rise as early warning apps fail to serve: Study
BHUBANESWAR : Lightning detection and early warning mechanisms like Damini, Sachet and Mausam have failed to make a positive impact in curbing deaths due to the calamity due to lack of effective outreach, relaying timely alerts to the common people, a new study has concluded. The study findings came on Friday when the state recorded at least 13 lightning deaths in six districts. The study conducted under the lightning monitoring awareness programme of Fakir Mohan University found 48 human fatalities and 86 cattle deaths during March-May period, which is around 18 per cent (pc) of Odisha's average annual lightningrelated fatalities. Koraput reported the highest 13 deaths, followed by seven from Mayurbhanj, six each from Ganjam and Nabarangpur, four from Rayagada, three each from Angul, Balasore, Bargarh and Sundargarh, two each from Puri, Dhenkanal, Kalahandi and Balangir. The data shows over 80 pc of fatalities took place in open environments or kutcha structures and 90 pc between 2 pm and 7 pm. The maximum 17 deaths were recorded while people were standing under trees, six each in agricultural fields and while riding two-wheelers and five deaths inside cow shelters/ shrimp ponds. 'The existing outreach mechanisms that leverage improvement in lightning detection and early warning applications seem to have failed to serve the last-mile rural population as most of the victims are below the poverty line and out of the digital early warning systems,' said lead author Prof Manoranjan Mishra. The researchers said the awareness campaigns that focus on 'Do's and Don'ts' will remain ineffective unless they are carried out physically through the local governance structures like the extension officers, teachers in schools, Anganwadi workers, and panchayat members.

IMD debunks Cyclone Shakti speculations: No cause for alarm; all you need to know
In response to widespread speculation regarding the formation of a cyclone named "Cyclone Shakti," the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a firm clarification, urging the public to remain calm and rely solely on official weather updates. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to the reports that were published earlier, a powerful cyclonic storm was forming over the Bay of Bengal and was expected to affect coastal areas of West Bengal and Odisha between May 23 and May 28. The identification of an upper-air cyclonic circulation over the Andaman Sea, a typical pre-monsoon weather occurrence, served as the basis for these reports. Read more: Habibur Rahman Biswas, head of the Forecast Centre at the Regional Meteorological Centre in Kolkata, explained that the confusion arose from a misinterpretation of meteorological terms. He explained that a cyclonic circulation refers to a rotation of air at higher altitudes, typically between 1.5 km and 7.6 km above the ground, and does not necessarily lead to the formation of a surface-level cyclonic storm. "Many people mistake any mention of the word 'cyclonic' as an imminent threat of a cyclone, which is not the case," Biswas stated. The IMD warned against spreading unconfirmed information and flatly rejected the existence of any such cyclone. No cyclone warnings have been issued by the agency as of yet. Press releases and official bulletins will be used to convey any official alerts regarding cyclone development. Read more: The department also highlighted the early onset of the southwest monsoon, which has advanced into parts of the Bay of Bengal, the south Andaman Sea, the Nicobar Islands, and sections of the north Andaman Sea as of May 13. This is the earliest recorded onset in the past seven years. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The IMD has forecast light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds in several regions, including Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, east Rajasthan, and parts of southern and central India. Residents and travelers are advised to stay informed through official channels such as the IMD website and the Mausam app. Relying on verified sources is crucial to avoid unnecessary panic and ensure safety during the pre-monsoon season.
