extremely fit but I never understood why the lower belly fat always stayed I worked out intensely almost to an extent that I over pushed myself and rightly said over pushing rings an alarm in your

retention it stays and it increases by over working out which I I really believe people should not doâThe actress further mentioned that every girl has a different body and their every day is different because of hormonal changes So they should not expect their midriff to look the same every day for everybodyShe continued âit cannot look like any other girl so you need to accept this I

spiritual traditionâHe shared that the word âNamaste comes from Sanskrit ânamahâ meaning âbowâ or âsalutationâ and âteâ meaning âto youâ Thus it literally means âI bow to youââ âResearchers and spiritual thinkers have interpreted the gesture in several ways In Hindu philosophy the joining of the two palms symbolizes the union of the individual self with the divine or the meeting of mind and heartâBig B went on to explain that yogic traditions describe the folding hand gesture âas balancing the left and right hemispheres of the body and mind In Buddhism and Jainism the gesture reflects humility peace and respect for all living beingsââAnthropologists also note its social value unlike a handshake Namaskaar does not require physical contact making it hygienic and universally respectfulâHe then spoke about the time of Covid and said âDuring the COVID19 pandemic many world leaders adopted it as a safe greeting The gesture is also found in temple sculptures classical Indian dance and ancient texts showing its continuity across thousands of yearsââMore than a greeting Namaskaar expresses reverence equality gratitude and recognition of the sacred presence within another person I express my reverence to all the Ef and recognise their dedication to the cause of peace and calm but also of devotion and dedication this is rare but then the Ef is rare tooâ Big B concluded

peeche jo craze tha ladkiyon ka jo pagalpan tha woh maine sirf ek aur hero ke liye dekha hai aur woh hain Dev Anand ji Unke liye bhi ladkiyan behosh ho jaati thi Isi tarah Rajesh Khanna ji ke liye bhi suna hai ki log unki gaadi ko kiss karte the aur kuch toh unke photo ke saath shaadi bhi karte theâHis film became a massive hit overnight and all the girls went crazy for him Thatâs when I felt he had become a superstar About this I would say that the kind of craze and madness girls had for Rajesh Khanna I had only seen for one other hero and that was Dev Anand Girls would faint for him too Similarly I heard that people used to kiss Rajesh Khannaâs car and some even married his photographsHarsh further asked âMaâam aapne live moments dekhe hainâMaâam did you witness those moments liveRecalling one such unforgettable incident Asha Parekh shared âHum log shooting kar rahe the aur âMere Sapno Ki Raniâ ke liye dubbing theatre mein gaye the Chhota sa theatre tha aur 200300 ladkiyan andar ghus gayi thi Rajesh Khanna ji ko dekhkar sab pagal ho gayi thiâWe were shooting and we had gone to the dubbing theatre for âMere Sapno Ki Raniâ It was a small theatre and around 200â300 girls rushed inside The moment they saw Rajesh Khanna everyone went crazyAdding to the conversation Vishal Dadlani reflected on Rajesh Khannaâs legendary popularity and said âEk kahani hai Rajesh Khanna Ji ke stardom ki Jab maine filme dekhna shuru kiya tha tab zamana Bachchan sahab ki taraf mud chuka tha lekin Rajesh Khanna sahab ki bahot kahaniyan suni hain Bahot bade star the Mujhe unke stardom ka asli ehsaas tab hua jab maine Santacruz mein dekha ki kisi se bhi puchho âRajesh Khanna Gardenâ kahan hai har koi bata deta hai Bacchabaccha aapko bata dega Kisi bhi dukaan wale ya rickshaw wale se pooch lijiye woh aapko wahan le jayega Jabki us jagah ka naam Rajesh Khanna Garden hai hi nahi Rajesh Khanna sahab ne sirf wahan ribbon cut kiya tha aur woh jagah hamesha ke liye logon ke dil aur dimaag mein bas gayi Isko stardom kehte hain Iss baat ko pachaas saal ho gaye honge aur aaj bhi log us jagah ko Rajesh Khanna Garden hi kehte hainâThereâs a story about Rajesh Khannaâs stardom By the time I started watching films the era had already shifted towards Amitabh Bachchan but I had heard countless stories about Rajesh Khanna He was a massive star I truly understood the scale of his stardom when I saw that in Santacruz if you asked anyone where âRajesh Khanna Gardenâ was everybody could guide you there Even little children knew about it You could ask any shopkeeper or rickshaw driver and they would take you there The interesting part is that the place isnât even officially called Rajesh Khanna Garden Rajesh Khanna had only inaugurated the place by cutting the ribbon once and it stayed forever in peopleâs hearts and minds That is what true stardom means It must have been around fifty years ago and even today people still call that place Rajesh Khanna GardenHe further added âJaise maâam ne kaha maine bhi suna hai ki unki safed gaadi lipstick ke nishaanon se poori laal hokar wapas aati thi Iss level ka pagalpan thaâAs maâam mentioned I too have heard that his white car would return completely covered in red lipstick marks That was the level of madness people had for himRajesh Khanna who enjoyed a career spanning over six decades passed away in 2012 He is often

its legendary Full Moon Party in the south and thriving wellness yoga and digital nomad scenesThe 40yearold actor spoke about how repeated solo trips slowly transformed from exciting adventures into âthe shape of lifeâ where solitude and happiness often coexistHe wrote âThis is my tenth solo trip Maybe twelfth I have stopped counting The first ones were adventures I chose Now they are mostly the shape of my life friends with their schedules family with theirs mine somewhere in the middle the only person reliably available being meââYou walk into a new place You meet someone at a bar They

strange thing you can be filled to the top with the love of an entire life and still be the only person standing in the place where you are standingââThe first solo trips were exciting The third was different The seventh felt like a habit By now somewhere in every trip my mind says quietly next time friends Next time not alone It says this even when nothing is wrong It says it especially when everything is rightâThe actor added âThe thing nobody warned me about at some point solo stops being a choice and becomes a way of life The schedules around you dont line up The people you love are also tired also working also somewhere else You stop asking You learn to enjoy your own company so well that the enjoyment becomes its own kind of solitudeâAvinash concluded the post by saying âI dont have a tidy answer to this Im not even sure its a problem to be solved What I have is the observation That being alone and being loved can completely coexist That a body can dance while a mind sits still That the things we end up calling our life are sometimes the things we never quite choseââThe actorâs latest release is Ginny Wedss Sunny 2 directed by Prasshant with actress Medha Shankr It is

debut and I remember it like it was yesterday Itâs so funny when you think of a milestone event in the future and you think âoh thereâs plenty of time for thatâ It really is funny because the next thing you know youâve been a movie actor for 10 years when you thought you wouldnât last six monthsShe went on to say 19052016 It was the Indian premiere of U Turn I say Indian premiere because weâd already premiered at NYIFF what a flex Bhumika theatre was teeming with Pawan Kumar fans cinephiles eager to be the first ones to watch U Turn I remember being totally unprepared for the premiere thinking Iâll just wear something casual and go sruthihariharan22 was mortified when she heard this and insisted I wear something nice She gave me her own designer outfit to wear for the premiereShraddha recalled that on the day of the films release she went to a newspaper office a radio station and a dance show I remember sitting in a caravan while waiting for the reality show guys to call us glued to my phone reading ALLLLL the reviews that were being written They were consistently encouraging but ONE fellow made a video review and trashed the movie but more importantly MY performance and thatâs it I had already begun packing my bags up and distributing my resumà People will hate me what was I thinking what an embarrassment you look nothing like the actresses you watched growing up So cute Itâs been 10 years since Iâve read good things and bad but the one thing Iâve learnt is that you pack your bags when YOU want she said Iâm grateful for my ridiculously loving hyper enthusiastic family who blindly thinks Iâm the best actress in the world my friends who ground me my fan clubs and fans who have shown me so much love and continue to do so

came in much later but the support and cheer never once dimmed down she saidShe concluded the note saying For some people I meet Iâm still Rachana from U Turn Its been such an interesting challenge to navigate this industry the past 10 years especially in this age of social media when everyoneâs life is out there for you to compare with and very few achievements feel laudable But Iâm grateful for the clarity or even the lack of it sometimes and the integrity I have to choose work that I bring value to and the deep privilege I come from to be able to say no to work that doesnât align with me To know when to hold on and when to let go To take my job seriously enough to do the best I can to do justice to the opportunities I get knowing that there are scores of actors out there who would kill

simple yet had moments that tug at your heart and I think thatâs what drew me to itâOpening up about her character Heer Maanvi called her as someone fearless instinctive and unapologetically herself as she said âThereâs a sense of abandon that Heer has She knows what she wants and isnât afraid to go for it completely oblivious to the consequences Sheâs stubborn jovial and someone who sees the world through her rosetinted glasses Heer isnât someone who thinks things through yet sheâs intelligent enough to know whatâs serving her and whatâs not Sheâs confident and comfortable with who she is

lives without travelling alone The sense of freedom and liberation the luxury of making mistakes and rising above them and the joy of finding yourself in the process are things I wish people take away from the filmâMaanvi also spoke about sharing screen space with Patralekhaa and how their offscreen camaraderie naturally developed over timeShe added âOf course Thereâs an arc to their relationship

society still finds it difficult to accept ambitious women Speaking to IANS exclusively the Whos Your Gynac actress stated that the system in general is built to help men succeed while women often have to work twice as hard to make a mark for themselvesShe was asked Do you think society still finds it difficult to accept ambitious women unless they have support from somewhere elseReacting to the question Saba shared Women often have to work twice as hard to prove themselves We still live in a patriarchal society where judgment comes very quickly when it comes to women The system has traditionally been built for men and their successIn many parts of our country women are still not allowed to work freely or make independent choices We may not always see that reality in cities but it exists So women constantly have to prove themselves not just professionally but also at home If they work they are judged If they do not work they are judged again she went on to addSaba concluded by saying that the expectations from women are endless making their struggle far more challengingWhen asked if the male ego still feels challenged by strong women Saba pointed out that society still functions within a patriarchal structure Men are often raised to believe they are superior to women so when they encounter strong women it can challenge their conditioning Their ego gets hurt because they are not used to seeing women as equals she explainedBut growth comes from learning The moment we accept these truths instead of ignoring them we can evolve and change Learning never stops Whenever I meet a strong woman my instinct is to learn from her Women multitask effortlessly and carry emotional strength in ways society often overlooks There is so much to learn from them Saba added

veteran actress Jyothika during the promotions of the film in MumbaiWhen asked if she agrees with the opinion about films being seen just as a medium of setting the society on a right path she said âI actually dont agree with that because a film is made for entertainment as well You should learn from your parents what is right and what is wrong And you should learn this in school This is not our job as film and creative people Today we will make a story about a lawyer tomorrow we will make a story about a serial killer It doesnt mean that you go and kill peopleâShe further mentioned âSo I feel those morals and ethics are taught at home And its not our job to teach you By the time you watch our film we have ratings for the 12 16 18 year old audience because itâs for a certain level of audience who can understand it And can differentiate between right and wrongI feel that a lot of the times such a big conversation is made about this is wrong this should not be shown in a film This should not be this this should not be that No Im sorryâThe actress feels that the audience has to have to make that judgement for themselves one has to learn that at homeâThe audience should watch a film to be entertained by it Its a story at the end of the day Only then can we make good stories There are so many times where films are based on real life incidents on true stories Art is a reflection of society So I feel people should be able to make that difference for themselves And I feel watch a film for entertainment as well If a film like âSystemâ for instance forces you to think at home thats a good thing At least youre thinking about itâ she addedProduced by Pammi Baweja Harman Baweja and Smitha Baliga System will drop on May 22 on Prime Video IANS

out something unique to his every character despite working in the same genre at times Speaking exclusively to IANS Saif said that when one is true to themselves a part of the uniqueness of their personality ends up reflecting in the character as well making it refreshing He was asked There are so many crime dramas across platforms As actors what efforts do you put in to bring out something more from your sideSharing his views Saif told IANS For me I think the idea is to play the person not just like a cop So people are obviously differentIf I have to do the same thing again you know the rooted cop with the dialect somehow the director creates a different environment thats where he comes in The producers also have to figure out how the show is going to look different It must be difficult because there are a lot of people who like watching crime dramas he further went on to explainI guess if you are true to yourself there is nobody like you So hopefully we all are true to ourselves and bring a little of ourselves to the character concluded the Omkara actorSaifs Kartavya costar Rasika Dugal echoed the same sentiment saying I feel even if its the same genre everybodys script is different no two scripts are like each other and there is a new voice telling a new story and there are new people putting in their new experiences their own aspirations their own prejudices into the work So it turns out to be different every single timeSo the worry is never that we should try and do something different the Mirzapur actress concludedTalking about Kartavya Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh Director Original Films Netflix India added It is rooted and emotionally truthful while also spanning genres and perspectives It has the tense unpredictability of a gripping crime thriller but at its heart itâs a deeply human story about a man torn between his duty towards his work his responsibility towards his family and the emotional consequences of difficult choices IANS
