Shringar Gauri inside Gyanvapi mosque has set the ball rolling for another mosque to pass into the hands of Hindus. Muslims, who said that they were hopeful of no mandir-masjid row after the Places of Worship (Special Provision) Act, 1991, will now go into a huddle with their legal minds but if the Babri Masjid case is an example they will find the battle long and arduous.
Although the claims of Anju man Intezamia Committee, which manages the Gyanvapi mosque, have been rejected on the petition’s maintainability, the District Judge AK Vishvesh will continue to hear the civil suits seeking right to daily wor ship the Shringar Gauri shrine in detail and examine evidence.

I have been blessed with such moments and would like to thank my mentor Gaurav Gaur for the same because he pushed me to reach my full potential. I started my journey as a con testant on Elite Miss Rajasthan and he al lowed me to judge the show which I believe was one of the best mo ments of my life. Karan sir also guided me throughout my journey and held my hand while I took baby steps. I feel proud of myself when my fam ily and friends appre ciate my work.

In my opinion, the vi tal skills required to excel in the field of modelling are confi dence and persistence. I believe that a model should work hard eve ry day and maintain a good physique. We also motivate peo ple to stay fit and be proud
ATTRACTIVE SOUL
Tell us something about yourself. My name is Yashvi Soni and I am from Jaipur. I am a model by profession and I am also pursuing a mas ter’s degree in Cyberse curity. I am a 22-yearold girl who loves her family and friends. They are my biggest support system. All the credit for my success goes to my family. My friend circle consists of my best friends and my sister who I believe are my guardian angels.

I would advise myself to adopt a never-giveup attitude. It would make me consistent in all my efforts to be lieve that there is a long way to go. I would tell myself to be proud of whatever I’ve achieved.
What inspired you to go for modelling? I’ve always loved to be in front of the camera and maintain a healthy lifestyle to motivate people. Modelling is one such profession where I could get the best platform to show case my skills in pos ing. I always got compli ments about my looks since I was a child but modelling is a lot more than just being beauti ful. This is the message that I wish to pass on to the world to bring posi tive changes to society.
Initially, I didn’t focus much on my social me dia accounts which play a very significant role in today’s world. I feel that social media plat forms help showcase your skills to the world.

He revealed, “So many things have come before such as pirated videos, CDs and satellites. But the fun in watching a movie on a silver screen is unmatched.

I hope the film is re ceived well.” Adding to that, Dulquer revealed, “The reaction people had after watching the trailer, was similar to my reaction after the narration.
