File photo MEERUT: Chaudhary Charan Singh University (CCSU), popularly referred to as Meerut University, has introduced a paper titled 'Bhartiya Sanchar ke Praroop' (Models of Indian Communication) in its MA in Journalism and Mass Communication (MA-JMC) programme to 'acquaint students with traditional communication methods as portrayed in ancient Indian epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata ,' officials announced on Saturday, reports Krishna Chaudhary. Professor Prashant Kumar, director of the Tilak School of Journalism and Mass Communication (TSJMC) at CCSU, said the course is designed to 'fuse India's ancient intellectual heritage with contemporary journalism education.' He cited Sanjay's narration of the Kurukshetra war to the blind king Dhritarashtra through divya drishti (divine vision) as a 'classical example of live reporting'. He added that students will also examine how 'Hanuman served as a vital communication link between Lord Rama and Goddess Sita during her captivity.' 'We have been learning Western methods so far despite the wealth of research and work in our own country,' Kumar said. 'Going forward, we will focus on our own traditions as no one understands our culture better than we do.' He pointed out that just as the Bhagavad Gita is taught in several countries for management education, 'ancient Indian communication practices, some of which are thousands of years old, remain relevant today and will continue to be so in the future.'

But among them is one more actress, who is as gorgeous as them, but often doesn't get enough recognition. She is none other than Deepti Bhatnagar. Born on September 30, 1967, Deepti hails from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. She studied at Meerut University, after completing her early education from Delhi. At the age of 25, she moved to Mumbai to expand her handcraft business, but little did she knew that she will be offered a modelling assignment from Roopmilan Sarees. In 1990, she was crowned Eves Weekly's Miss India, and later on represented India at the Miss International beauty pageant held in Nagasaki, Japan. This achievement marked her journey into the glamour industry, leading her to a successful career in modelling and acting. Her first role in acting appeared in Sanjay Gupta's Ram Shastra. After working in few films, Deepti struggled to deliver hits. Later, the actress landed a role in Aamir Khan starrer Mann , which turned to be a box office success. In March 2001, Deepti was offered a dance number in Salman Khan's movie C hori Chori Chupke Chupke . It eventually grabbed her limelight, and further gave several film offers from Hindu, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada cinema.
