At the end of Feb 2018, we lost two well known persons of our society - Shridevi Kapoor & Jayendra Saraswati. Both were known for their good work and achievement in their field. Shridevi Kapoor was famous Indian film actress & producer and Jayendra Saraswati was Shankaracharya of the Kanchipuram Kamakoti Peetam Math.
Sridevi Kapoor was an Indian actor and producer died on 24 Feb 2018, due to cardiac arrest & accidentally drowned in bathtub at Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel, where she went with her husband Boney Kapoor to attend a family marriage function.
She was born on 3 August 1963. Sridevi had made her bollywood debut as a child artist in Julie (1975) and had worked in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannad & Malayalam films. Sridevi ranked among the highest-paid actress at her time and most popular actresses of Indian Cinema. She was awarded with Padma Shri, in 2013.
Shridevi married producer Boney Kapoor in 1996 and the couple have two daughters- Janhvi and Khushi. Boney Kapoor is the elder brother of film actor Anil Kapoor.
Shree Devi had also worked with him and had given many super-hits movies including "Mr. India", which is still known for her acting and dance. Her daughter Janhvi is shooting for her debut movie, which will release in year 2018.
On Wednesday 28th February morning, 69th Shankaracharya
of the Kanchipuram Kamakoti Peetam math, Jayendra Saraswati has
passed away. He was 82 years old and was suffering from shortness of
breath, low sugar levels and low blood pressure from last few month
in Chennai's Sri Ramachandra Hospital.
Jayendra Saraswathi was born in July 1935 & was head of the
Kanchi Mutt. Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham is a Hindu monastic
institution, located in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. The
mutt was founded by Adi Shankaracharyand the head of
the matha is
referred to as a "Sankaracharya".
It is one of the five pancha-bhUta-sthalas. The
five pancha-bhUta-sthalas or material sites represent earth
(Kanchipuram), air (Kalahasti), water (Thiruvanaikoil), fire (Thiruvannamalai), and sky (Chidambaram).
The Mutt runs several educational societies, clinics and hospitals.
Jayendra Saraswathi was among the first religious pontiffs to speak about the construction of
Ram Temple in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya, saying it would lead to communal
harmony.
But you must have seen, heard & read more about Shri Devi than Jayendra Saraswathi and that is because media including social media had shown much interest
in spreading the news of Shridevi’s death and funeral. Many
from you would have also made social media posting on your Facebook, Twitter and etc, showing the pain of losing film
star Shridevi Kapoor. But, only few from you would be aware of Jayendra
Saraswathi's death and fewer in that would have heard of his name.
The influence of cinema in our society is so much, that we pays
much attention in knowing more about our favourite
film stars rather than any other issues. And this is because
Film Industry and Film stars takes Public Relationship more seriously and spends a good amount of money for promoting & telecasting
their news. And when the news spread among us through several channels, physiologically
that makes us keen to know more about that. This is how our interest generates and drags us toward influenced things.
Indian cinema has always fascinated people. The 3 hours commercial
movie, takes you to a dream world. Film's illusion makes
people confuse, specially to youngster who can't differentiate their life, which
they see through Karan Johar’s movie and the really world they live in.
But it is our responsibility to pay tribute to those people
as well, who are important and special, as like any film star. India is known for
it's culture. We should teach our children about our culture and civilisation. So
that they could develop their interest in knowing & learning about those real subjects, which is important for our society.
Once, we will change ourselves, media will change because media works only on the demand of spectators. So, the
kind of news we will show our interest in, media will cover those stories and
telecast it though their mediums.
