The camaraderie and conversations between stars seldom get so funny, so comfortable and their thoughts so miscible. The interview session that the ‘JugJugg Jeeyo’ gang had with ETimes, has to be seen to be believed. If you still haven’t watched the video, we reproduce it below. Kiara Advani, Varun Dhawan, Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor were asked a lot of questions on their favourite scenes and movies. They took all the questions sportingly and without batting an eyelid. What stood out was that Varun and Kiara looked very comfortable in the presence of their seniors. They could do masti, they could say what they want. Evidently, ‘JJJ’ has been a happy film to make and they all seem to have enjoyed it thoroughly. See the RAPID FIRE video below for one of those comforting moments of the juniors with the seniors- how Kiara pulls Neetu Kapoor’s leg.

Gurgaon: Councillors and residents of the private colonies recently taken over by MCG have raised concerns over upkeep of civic amenities in these areas from Thursday.

Image
GURUGRAM: The MCG during a survey spotted 314 sites in the city where construction and demolition waste is being dumped illegally. These sites include Sector 29, Gurugram-Faridabad road and Badshapur among others.

In the absence of a firm dedicated for C&D waste collection, the waste can be seen dumped on roadsides, vacant plots and other open spaces across the city. The MCG earlier had given the contract of collecting C&D waste to a private firm, which had stopped working since it faced allegations of corruption.
