When Ranjan and Meeka Kale threw a joint birthday bash at their lounge Fionaa, their close friends came in to wish them, celebrate with them and have a rocking time together! Meeka and Ranjan threw the bash on November 15, 2016 to celebrate their birthdays which fall on November 13 and November 14 respectively.
A special something for wifey dearest!
At the start of the bash, a city musician Abhishek Dahikar along with other musicians enthralled the people present as he sung soulful Bollywood numbers one after the other. Soon after, Ranjan pleasantly surprised many, particularly his wife, as he took to the keyboards. He played the song – ‘Main hu Hero Tera’ – on the keyboards and dedicated it to his wife! And of course, she loved it!
A special cake for the jungle boy!
Ranjan who is a wild life enthusiast was also in for a surprise from his close ones. His birthday cake consisted of a picture of a tiger; this was the picture Ranjan himself clicked on one of his jungle trips. Before he cut the cake, he asked his friends not to smash the cake on his face and good friends being good friends did the exact opposite! Well, Ranjan didn’t seem to complain!
High on bonhomie!
The bash was high on bonhomie and once DJ Rahul started playing peppy songs, this bonhomie was taken to the dance floor as people danced like nobody’s watching making this birthday bash memorable for the hosts!

Billboards that mention Shubham Gill

As per the recent survey of Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service, the entire month of January (all 31 days) in Nagpur this year saw tremendously high levels of Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2).
The survey that released pictures of the same showed increased levels of SO2 and NO2 not just in Nagpur but in cities including Chandrapur, Gondia and Amravati. Environmental experts have said that the matter was worrying from the point of view of the health of the residents as the pollution index in Nagpur saw an increase in all the three months of winter.
Not just in January this year but 28 out of 30 days in November last year as well as 30 out of 31 days in December last year showed poor air quality. Environmental expert Professor Suresh Chopani said an action plan, to avoid respiratory issues, under National Clean Air Programme would be strictly implemented.
