一 | On 11 May 1970, Bombay (now Mumbai) saw the stars of Hindi cinema gather to celebrate films from 1969 at the 17th Filmfare Awards. Amongst the biggest winners that night was Aradhana, a romantic drama directed by Shakti Samanta. On Sharmila Tagore's birthday, we look back at the iconic wins of the movie, including Sharmila Tagore's win in the Best Actress category. Aradhana was released on 7 November 1969 in Hindi. It starred Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore in lead roles. The story mixes romance, sacrifice, identity, and strong emotions. Vandana (Sharmila Tagore) falls in love with Arun (Rajesh Khanna), who is an Air Force pilot. After Arun’s death in a crash, Vandana must face stigma, raise her son against odds, even when forced to give him up. She then becomes his caretaker later in life without revealing she is his mother. Over time, the film shows her silent strength and love. At the 17th Filmfare Awards, Aradhana led the nominations with 9 nods. It won Best Film, and Sharmila Tagore won her first (and only) Best Actress award for her role as Vandana. Meanwhile, Rajesh Khanna was nominated for Best Actor for Aradhana, but the award went to Ashok Kumar for Aashirwad.

Aradhana also gained praise for its music: songs like Mere Sapno Ki Rani became iconic. The film quickly became a blockbuster, not just in India, but also in the Soviet Union. It marked the rise of Rajesh Khanna as a superstar, and it firmly established Sharmila Tagore’s status among leading actresses. Looking back to the 17th Filmfare Awards, Aradhana remains a landmark, not just for awards, but for stories that touch the heart. As Filmfare returns with new celebrations, it’s worth remembering how films like Aradhana shaped the legacy, melding romance, strength, music, and unforgettable performances.

二 | (ECNS) -- The “Made-in-Russia” festive fair, hosted by the Russian Export Center (REC), opened in Tianjin on Saturday, marking the event’s first launch in the city. The five-day fair features nearly 60 booths operated by Russian manufacturers, displaying food, agricultural produce, daily consumer goods, jewelry and other categories. Live performances featured excerpts from Swan Lake and The Nutcracker by the Moscow Classical Ballet Theatre, alongside a Russian folk instrumental duo and pop vocalists in a joint appearance. Veronika Nikishina, general director of the REC, explained that a dacha (дача in Russian), a countryside summer villa in Russia, embodies a lifestyle away from urban hustle for Russian people. Over the past two years, more than 500 Russian firms have taken part in the events, holding around 2,000 business meetings. Total value of signed export contracts exceeded 15 billion rubles (about $178.56 million). Exhibited goods have expanded from food to daily consumer goods and folk handicrafts, according to Tatyana An, vice president of the REC. Prior to this event, the Russian Export Center has held seven similar promotional activities across China. The center is implementing the overseas promotion program for the national “Made-in-Russia” brand, which was approved by the Russian government in February 2025. (By Xu Wenda, Zhang Dongfang) 。
