About Dil Dosti etc.
Dil Dosti Etc is a fresh, unabashed, no holds barred look at how young men of today think and choose to live their lives. Set around students in Delhi University, Dil Dosti Etc. juxtaposes the ‘new/ liberal’ with the ‘old/ conservative’ in our society through two university hostellers, Apurv (Imaad Shah), a rich cosmopolitan guy and, Sanjay (Shreyas Talpade), an old-fashioned Bihari guy.

About Nanhi Kali:
Nanhi Kali is a special project jointly managed by K. C. Mahindra Education Trust and Naandi Foundation, aimed at providing education to the underprivileged girl child in India. India has always had a history of discrimination against the girl child. She is considered a liability and an economic burden to the family. Therefore, female children are often neglected forcing them to become victims of exploitation at a very early age. It is only through education that the girl child can arm herself to be independent and self-reliant, and hence have a fighting chance in life.
