Actor Sharad Kelkar, who essays the role of Aryavardhan in the television show Tumm Se Tumm Tak, has spoken up about the new track in the show, which clears misconceptions surrounding heart attacks.

In the upcoming track, Aryavardhan (played by Sharad Kelkar) suffers a heart attack, marking a major turning point in the storyline. While such moments are often portrayed with fear and finality, the show presents a perspective that mirrors how such situations are often perceived and discussed in everyday life.

From assumptions that a person can no longer lead a normal life, to fears around longevity and strength, heart attacks are often surrounded by myths that create unnecessary panic and stigma.

Talking about the new track, Sharad Kelkar said in a statement, “What I found most meaningful about this track is how relatable it is. We’ve all grown up hearing certain things about heart attacks that create fear instantly. While shooting these scenes, it made me realise how important it is to look at it with more understanding. It’s a serious moment, but it’s not the end. I hope viewers connect with this and take away a more positive and aware perspective towards their health”.

The narrative reinforces a simple yet important message: a heart attack is not the end, but an alarm. With the right awareness, care, and lifestyle changes, individuals can continue to live fulfilling and active lives.

Speaking about the thought behind the track, Mangesh Kulkarni, Chief Channel Officer at Zee TV said, “At Zee TV, we believe stories have the power to influence everyday thinking. The biggest influencers are our iconic characters, whom our viewers interact with, relate to, and follow closely on a daily basis. With this track in Tumm Se Tumm Tak, we wanted to address the many myths people associate with heart attacks. There is often a sense of fear and finality attached to it, which is not always the reality. Through this narrative, we want to communicate that a heart attack is a wake-up call, an opportunity to become more aware and take better care of one’s health, rather than something that defines or limits life”.

For us, the best way to convey this is through the lives of characters that viewers love and follow deeply and emotionally”, he added.

Hollywood star Anne Hathaway, who is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming film The Devil Wears Prada, says she repeatedly listened to one Beyonce song to help her prepare for playing the titular role in the film, Mother Mary.

Hathaway listened to the 44-year-old singer-songwriter`s 2024 track American Requiem repeatedly in preparation for her role in the psychological drama-thriller, which follows the psychosexual affair between pop singer Mary and fashion designer Sam Anselm.

Studying Beyonce`s voice made Hathaway realise she could use a softer voice for her character, reports feamelfirst.co.uk.

During a Q+A session at a listening event for the movie`s soundtrack, Hathaway said: “Her technique in that song is so mesmerising and astonishing – and real.”

“Just listening to her phraseology, her musicianship, understanding the history of her voice that had led her to be able to make that sound that is so still, that`s so present, I studied that, and I appreciated that Beyoncé can do the runs,” she added.

Studying the 35-time Grammy Award winner`s “pop phrasing was a really big deal” for the actress.

Hathaway added: “I thought, OK, maybe there`s something to be said about having a sweet, still voice. Maybe I can work with this.”

The star originally learned to sing in a musical theatre style, and she spent two years retraining her voice in a more contemporary pop style for Mother Mary.

Speaking about her 72-year-old mom, actress Kate McCauley Hathaway, she said: “I`m more soft-spoken than she is, and so in my head. I`ve never really rated myself as a singer. When I was growing up, I was like, `Whitney Houston, that`s a real singer,` and I just can`t do runs like that.”

With Mother Mary, she added: “It was a completely new way of singing, and it baffled me for the longest time. It took about two years before I finally cracked it,” she said of the pop star she built. “So much of it was just studying what other singers did and trying to figure out, frankly, why they sounded so cool.”
