After numerous spectacularly memorable songs as a superstar singer, and a multitude of super hit film music scores as part of the top music director troika Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Shankar Mahadevan is not only going to greater professional and artistic strengths, but is also giving back to society. Through his very own music academy, and through participating in socially uniting, relevant and powerful initiatives like participating in -- and leading -- close to one 100000 patriotic Aurangabadkars on Republic Day-eve  to set up a Guinness World Record for the maximum number of people singing the National Anthem in unison.  Shankar -- as he is fondly called by film fans as though they have known him all their lives -- is constantly breaking new ground, but in a modest, self-effacing manner.

For the millions of small screen buffs, Ram Kapoor hardly needs any introduction. Neither does his phenomenal acting talent.
