Kelly Brook: I don’t have the instinct for marriage or kids

Model-actress Kelly Brook has been with her beau Jeremy Parisi for years but is not desperate to have children or tie the knot.

“I’ve got a bucket list and I have to say a wedding is not on it!” Brook said, adding that motherhood “isn’t on her radar” at the moment.

“I feel like marriage and children are not things I’ve wanted. I like traveling and being with my partner, I like animals working and being independent and I like my freedom. I like being spontaneous,” Brook told Notebook magazine, according to a report in femalefirst.co.uk.

She said having children is a huge commitment.

Brook said: “There are so many things I love, and I think marriage and children would stop me from doing those things. I try to imagine how it would be, and when you have children it’s a huge commitment.”

“It’s very hard to change your ways when you get to your 40s and I don’t think it’s for everyone. I’m not saying, it’s just not on my radar.”

Brook and Parisi started dating in 2015 and while she sometimes thinks about marriage and children, she says she simply doesn’t have the “instinct” for it.

She said: “I think about it every now and again, then I quickly forget about it. I just don’t have that instinct.”

Himansh Kohli: My father and I used to have the most awkward conversations

Actor Himansh Kohli says he has always been close to his parents and often consults them for advice. Himansh was speaking on the occasion of International Day of Families on Saturday.

“I remember my father used to counsel me and we used to have a talk regarding everything. We used to have even the most awkward conversations so that I don’t make mistakes in the future. It’s necessary to open up to your parents, because the advice they give will always be in your favor, and they would also never let you do anything bad,” said Himansh.

The actor grew up in a family of four. His parents run a security business while his sister, who is a baker, recently got married. They also have a dog called Donut at their Delhi home.

“Family is like having somebody who loves you unconditionally. Having a family around is the basic requirement for any child to survive and thrive. Your family helps build your personality and have a perspective in life. Family makes a home, home,” he said.

Having said that, the young actor also asserted that COVID has made everyone realize the importance of their families.

“I went through Covid with family and those were genuinely tough times. I got vaccinated. I request everyone to get vaccinated. We lost so many people in 2020, and it is happening again this year. The fear of losing someone has brought people closer. We have also learned how the home is the only place you’d want to be if everything starts falling apart,” he summed up.

Why Shilpa Shetty said no to grocery savings?

Whether its sumptuous kitchen delicacies, useful backyard garden gyaan, or power yoga punches, Shilpa Shetty has proven that she can never go wrong when it comes to nutrition thats packed with taste and health. But, what does she do when her brother-in-law orders groceries with a 100-rupee bachat?

Seen these days in a humorous television commercial for Nourish Chakki Fresh Atta with Extra Chokar by BL Agro Industries Limited, Shetty embodies every ounce of the wisdom of the modern Indian woman, especially when it is about making smart choices for the family. In her signature comic style, the Bollywood diva educates her brother-in-law on the consequences of choosing ordinary food products with an interesting ‘Do Baatein’ approach.

Dressed traditionally and elegantly in a pink kurta, the fitness icon takes the dining table talk one notch higher by convincing her family to look at the bigger picture while ordering atta or flour. In a rather endearing ‘bhabhi’ avatar in the Nourish commercial, she drives home the message that we are what we eat; and immunity is not built by eating just about anything on the market shelves.

When it comes to healthy food choices, there’s no one better than the fitness icon to explain the importance of choosing better. The TVC is the first in the series of three and garnered close to 1.4 million views on YouTube within two weeks of being launched.

Shilpa Shetty’s fitness mantra? ‘Saadharan Chhodo, Nutrition Chuno’. Not convinced? Let the diva convince you herself in this infotaining TVC.

As for her parenting technique, Kaling, a mother of two, said the best parents are able to keep their cool and not “blow their top”.

She added how she is “inspired by parenting where the parents don’t scream. If you can not scream at your children, I think you’re a good parent. To me, people who do not blow their top and also can stay on a consistent message. That to me — I’m the most impressed by those people”.
