March 31,2025:Get ready for a week packed with drama, twists, and edge-of-the-seat moments in &TV’s Bheem – Andhkaar se Adhikaar Tak, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, and Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai! With shocking revelations and unexpected turns, the upcoming tracks will keep you hooked till the end. Tejaswini Singh aka Bheema shares, “Bheema (Tejaswini Singh) takes a stand against upper-caste men who destroy a poor child’s home, exposing the deep-seated social injustices. In a surprising twist, Kailasha Bua (Neeta Mohindra) declares Bheema as the divine leader (Agua), creating a major rift in the village. While some villagers support Bheema, her parents suspect a hidden conspiracy. At school, Bheema faces mockery, leaving her heartbroken. Seeking solace, Dhaniya (Smita Sable) consoles her. As the village gathers for a crucial panchayat, Meera (Ayushi Jha) and Vishambhar (Vikram Dwivedi) try to help Bheema escape but get stopped. To protect her, Dhaniya locks Bheema inside. However, inspired by Babasaheb Ambedkar’s teachings, Bheema refuses to stay silent. Kailasha Bua warns her that this is not just a battle against one person, but an entire village bound by rigid beliefs. Despite Dhaniya’s desperate pleas, Bheema steps out with unshakable determination, ready to face the storm while Dhaniya watches with a heavy heart. What will happen next?”

Yogesh Tripathi aka Daroga Happu Singh reveals, “Rajesh (Geetanjali Mishra) starts doubting her marriage when a friend tells her that the spark is gone and that Happu (Yogesh Tripathi) has lost interest in her. Feeling insecure, Rajesh vents her frustration on Happu, leaving him puzzled. Meanwhile, the kids come across an advertisement for a marriage counsellor promising to fix troubled relationships. They insist that Happu seek his help. Taking the counsellor’s advice, Happu plans a surprise date for Rajesh at a hotel, hoping to rekindle their romance. But things take a shocking turn when a mysterious woman shows up instead! Confusing her for Rajesh, Happu interacts with her—only to get blackmailed with incriminating photos later! Soon, Happu realizes that the so-called marriage counsellor is a fraud, and the woman demands he kidnap Commissioner Resham Pal (Kishore Bhanushali) or risk his marriage. Trapped, Happu turns to Beni (Vishwanath Chatterjee) for help, and together, they hatch a plan. But there’s another twist—Resham Pal has a newly appointed bodyguard, a martial arts expert! To execute their mission, Happu and Beni enlist Malaika (Sonal Panwar) to keep the bodyguard occupied. While Malaika succeeds, Happu and Beni kidnap the Commissioner and force the blackmailer to delete all evidence. Just when they think they’re in the clear, Malaika arrives with the bodyguard, setting off a chain of unexpected events! How will Happu get out of this mess?” Aasif Sheikh aka Vibhuti Narayan Mishra shares, “Vibhuti’s kind gesture deeply impresses Angoori (Shubhangi Atre), making her declare, ‘There is no one more noble and honest than Vibhuti in all of Kanpur!’ Anita (Vidisha Srivastava) is so convinced of Vibhuti’s loyalty that she tells Tiwari (Rohitashv Gour) that she would divorce him if he ever cheated on her. Meanwhile, Anita suggests adding excitement to their love life. Around the same time, a mysterious washerwoman (dhoban) arrives in the neighbourhood, always veiled. This sparks a mischievous idea—Anita disguises herself as the washerwoman and approaches Vibhuti!At the same time, Ammaji (Soma Rathod) advises Angoori on a new remedy for conceiving—she must feed sesame laddoos to a noble and honest man. That night, Anita (still disguised as the washerwoman) is in the bedroom with Vibhuti when Tiwari walks in! Seeing this, he assumes Vibhuti is having an affair and vows to expose him. Meanwhile, Angoori hears rumours about Vibhuti and, feeling betrayed, stops talking to him. Poor Vibhuti is clueless about why Angoori is ignoring him! Adding to the chaos, Tika (Vaibhav Mathur) and Tillu (Salim Zaidi) fall for the new washerwoman, but when they believe she is having an affair with Vibhuti, they beat him up in a jealous rage! Tiwari shares the scandal with Anita, convinced of Vibhuti’s betrayal. But Anita, unable to reveal her disguise, scolds Tiwari instead. Now, Tiwari is determined to prove Vibhuti’s guilt, while Anita struggles to keep the truth hidden. How will Vibhuti clear his name?

Tune in to Bheema at 8:30 PM, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan at 10:00 PM, and Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai at 10:30 PM, Monday to Friday, only on &TV! Don’t miss out!

Home loans play a pivotal role in home buying, particularly for end-users, as the majority rely on financing to purchase their dream homes. A reduction in interest rates directly impacts affordability, making homeownership more accessible and boosting demand across all segments of the housing market.

In its last Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) review meeting, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reduced the repo rate by 25 basis points after maintaining a consecutive status quo for eleven meetings. This marked the beginning of a much-anticipated rate cut cycle, and we expect further reductions in the upcoming MPC meetings.

A sustained decline in interest rates is expected to act as a catalyst for the residential real estate sector in FY 2025-26. Lower home loan rates will not only reduce the overall cost of borrowing but also enhance loan eligibility, encouraging more buyers—both first-time homeowners and upgraders—to enter the market. Additionally, with increasing urbanization and strong demand for quality housing in metro and Tier II cities, favorable lending conditions will further accelerate the growth of the housing sector in the coming year.

 In today’s world, women have more control than ever over their health and well-being. With advances in medicine, nutrition, and fitness, age is truly just a number. Women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond are staying active, feeling vibrant, and living healthier lives. The key lies in adopting the right habits and maintaining a positive mindset.

Prioritize Regular Exercise

Staying active is one of the best ways to maintain health and vitality. Exercise improves heart health, strengthens bones, and keeps muscles toned. Women should focus on a mix of:

• Cardio workouts like walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming to keep the heart strong.
• Strength training to maintain muscle mass and bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
• Flexibility and balance exercises such as yoga or Pilates to enhance mobility and prevent falls.
• Just 30 minutes of movement daily can make a significant difference in long-term health.

Follow a Nutritious Diet

What women eat plays a crucial role in how they feel as they age. A balanced diet should include:

• Lean proteins (chicken, fish, beans, tofu) to maintain muscle strength.
• Healthy fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil) for brain function and heart health.
• Plenty of fiber from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to aid digestion.
• Calcium and vitamin D to support strong bones and prevent osteoporosis.
• Limiting processed foods, refined sugars, and excessive alcohol can also help maintain energy levels and prevent chronic illnesses.

Take Care of Hormonal Health

Hormonal balance is essential for overall well-being. As women age, estrogen levels decline, which can affect mood, metabolism, and bone health. Consulting a gynecologist or fertility specialist can help manage hormonal changes through:

• Lifestyle adjustments
• Natural supplements
• Hormone replacement therapy (if necessary)

Prioritize Mental and Emotional Well-Being

Staying healthy is not just about physical fitness—it’s also about mental and emotional balance. Stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep can accelerate aging. To maintain well-being:

• Practice mindfulness and meditation to reduce stress.
• Engage in hobbies and activities that bring joy.
• Build strong social connections to stay emotionally fulfilled.
• Ensure quality sleep (7-9 hours per night) for proper body recovery.

Stay on Top of Health Screenings

Preventive care is crucial for long-term health. Regular check-ups and screenings help detect potential health issues early. Women should prioritize:

• Annual gynecological exams with PAP smear and USG scan.
• Mammograms (as per age and risk factors)
• Bone density tests
• Heart health check-ups (cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes screening)

Aging is a natural process, but how women age is in their control. By staying active, eating well, managing stress, and prioritizing health check-ups, women can feel younger, stronger, and more vibrant at any age. It’s never too late to invest in self-care—because age truly is just a number!

Priya, a 45-year-old marketing manager, rushing between a client presentation and her daughter’s school play, grabbing a protein shake in one hand and answering work emails with the other. Sounds familiar? Welcome to the world of modern women – part superhero, part stand-up comedian, entirely unstoppable.

The Comedy of Multitasking

Let’s be honest – if multitasking were an Olympic sport, women would sweep gold, silver, and bronze. Remember that time you were cooking dinner, helping your kids with homework, taking a work call, and somehow still managed to find your husband’s lost car keys? That’s not magic – that’s just Tuesday for most women.

A Day in the Life

Sarah, a 52-year-old entrepreneur, jokes that her body might be aging, but her spirit is stuck at 25. “Hormones might be playing musical chairs in my body,” she laughs, “but I’m the conductor of this orchestra!”

The Biological Superpower

Our bodies are not a limitation – they’re a marvel of engineering. Hormonal changes? More like hormonal adventures! Perimenopause isn’t a roadblock; it’s a scenic route with unexpected turns. Those hot flashes? Think of them as your body’s personal central heating system with a sense of humour.

Real-World Wellness Hacks

1. The Multitasking Workout
   • Squats while brushing teeth
   • Calf raises while waiting for the microwave
   • Pilates during conference calls (mute button is your friend!)
2. Nutrition: Not a Diet, A Lifestyle
   • Smoothies that hide vegetables like a ninja
   • Meal prep that saves time and sanity
   • Proteins: Your muscle’s best friend! Aim for 1.2-1.6g per kg of body weight (your personal repair and rebuild squad!)
   • Water: Your liquid gold! Aim for 2-3 liters daily (your body’s internal car wash and energy booster!)

Inspirational Indian Women Who Laugh in the Face of Age

• Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw: Built a biopharma empire, proving business has no age limit
• Indra Nooyi: Transformed PepsiCo while redefining corporate leadership
• Sudha Murty: Author, philanthropist, who shows wisdom grows, not ages

The Pelvic Floor: Your Secret Superhero Muscle

Think of your pelvic floor like a trampoline – resilient, flexible, and crucial. After childbirth, it might feel more like a worn-out elastic band, but with the right exercises, it can bounce back better than ever!

Motherhood: The Ultimate Marathon

Motherhood is not a job – it’s an extreme sport with no training manual. You’re a part nurse, part chef, part therapist, part WWE wrestler (ever tried dressing a toddler?).

Mental Wellness: Keeping Your Cool

Stress management tips:

• Deep breathing (or screaming into a pillow, no judgment)
• Meditation (or hiding in the bathroom for 5 minutes of peace)
• Laughter – seriously, it’s the best medicine

Three Non-Negotiable Health Commandments

1. Move It or Lose It Your body is not a museum piece. Dance in the kitchen, do yoga during TV commercials, chase your kids/dogs around the park.
2. Nutrition is Self-Love Eat like you love yourself. Nourish, don’t punish. Sometimes that means a salad, sometimes that means a small chocolate cake.
3. Rest is Not Lazy, It’s Strategic Sleep is your secret weapon. It’s not a luxury; it’s maintenance for your incredible machine of a body.

The Ultimate Truth

Age is just a number, but attitude? That’s everything. You’re not getting older; you’re getting more extraordinary.

To every woman reading this: You’re not just surviving. You’re absolutely, magnificently thriving. Keep laughing, keep moving, keep conquering!

Here’s to us – complex, powerful, hilarious, and unstoppable Women!
