Ayushmann Khurrana: I have been a cycling enthusiast all my life

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana is determined to stay super fit during the pandemic and has taken upcycling. He says he has been a cycling enthusiast all his life.

Ayushmann, who is currently in Chandigarh, said: “Maintaining fitness is an extremely important aspect today, given the crisis we are engulfed in. We will need to find our own fitness regimes to stay fit because it is very important. So, since I’m in Chandigarh spending time with my family and parents, I decided to take up cycling.”

For Ayushmann, his cycling time is adding a much-needed balance to his daily routine.

“I have been a cycling enthusiast all my life but my work schedule always prevented me from doing this. I am loving doing this now because it is not just helping me stay fit but it is also giving me the alone time to focus on things, ponder about life, and plan my way forward,” he said.

He added that cycling alone is quite a meditative experience for him.

“I can focus on one thing at a time and close those loops in my head,” he said.

However, Ayushmann admits that he can’t wait to be on the sets again and resume shooting his back-to-back film projects.

“I can’t wait to start shooting and I’m missing being on the sets bigtime. I’m ready to start shooting multiple things. As soon as the production teams figure out and lock on the safest ways to start work, I will be back on the sets!”

Trishala Dutt speaks about her mental health post boyfriend’s death

Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt’s daughter Trishala Dutt has penned an emotional note to mark one year of her boyfriend’s death on Thursday. She opened up about going for therapy and quitting her job post his demise.

Trishala took to Instagram, where she shared a picture of herself along with her late boyfriend.

“Today marks 1 year since the ground beneath me seemed to crumble and my life changed. I’ve done a lot of grief work –from talk therapy to joining specific support groups and being more intentional with how and who I spend my time with.

“I’ve also been somewhat absent from social media over the past year. Losing my mom at the age of eight and working through that for over two decades, surprisingly, did not prepare me for losing this beautiful soul,” she wrote.

“It’s not just the passage of time, you don’t get over it or move on just because a year or twenty go by. You have to face the darkest moments and ride out the rollercoaster of emotions for the rest of your life. I knew grief wasn’t only sadness, however, I’d forgotten it creeps up in the sneakiest of ways.”

Trishala shared that in the past year she cried to a point where she ran out of tears.

“I had to quit my job because how could I take care of someone’s mental health if my own was a disaster?” she wrote.

She shared that she had several “public breakdowns where strangers have come up to me and asked if I needed any assistance.”

Trishla added that she ate “everything in sight and gained 30 lbs (13 kilos).”

“But it’s fine. It happens. Its the process, and it’s nothing I can’t fix once I’m in the right mindset (and I’m happy to share my mental health and physique has gotten so much better!)

“Also, I’m not ashamed to admit it’s because of an amazing therapist, support groups, and 3 beautiful friends.”

She shared that she still has things that remind her of him.

“I have text messages and handwritten notes. I still have his toothbrush, listen to some of his favorite songs/artists, and have the T-shirt that smells just like him. I’m beyond grateful for the time we had together. He lived his life boldly, out loud, and took advantage of each and every day authentically. He was the utmost gentleman who always made me feel safe.”

“He made me laugh and loved to joke around. He was kind, gentle, thoughtful, and always chose to put me first. He was helpful, supportive, and a great listener. He trusted me, took good care of me, and took great care of my heart.”

Trishala shared that her boyfriend respected her, never judged her, and welcomed her into his family.

“He never left my side, never EVER let me go to bed upset, or left me wondering where I stood in his life. He made sure to let me and everyone else know that I was his entire heart every.second of every.day.”

To Trishala he was magic.

“It was a joy to be a part of his life. He will always be apart of my journey, and my story. My memories are all I have left of him, and I will never ever forget him. I’m half a heart without him, but even with that, I still and will always be and feel like the luckiest girl in the entire world to have been his…as he was mine. October 07, 1986 – July 02, 2019.”

Trishala’s verified profile has over 477K followers. She is Sanjay Dutt’s eldest child, from the late Richa Sharma.

Jameela Jamil: Lockdown made me less ignorant

Actress Jameela Jamil feels the COVID-19 lockdown has helped her become a less ignorant person.

In an interview with Grazia magazine, Jameela spoke about how the ongoing pandemic changed her perspective about life, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“For the last couple of years, I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to learn and I think that contributed to a lot of the mistakes I’ve made. This has given me space to really investigate, learn, read, and educate myself. I was so busy (before), I didn’t have time to really know what I was talking about all the time and I feel very grateful for this pause in being able to, hopefully, become a less problematic, less ignorant person,” Jameela said.

She added: “I think I’ll come out of this a more calm, thoughtful, and careful person, more aware of the damage of having a 280-character Twitter word count. Now I have the podcast and YouTube channel. I don’t have to compact all of my thoughts and that’s amazing. Now I have time and space for nuance and context.”

Mary J. Blige enters wine business

Actress Mary J. Blige has entered the liquor business with the launch of an exclusive collection of limited-edition wines.

“A dear friend introduced me to Marco Fantinel referring to him as the producer of the best pinot grigio in the world. After walking through the vineyards and tasting with the Fantinel family, I felt extremely connected to the place, and more importantly, the people,” Blige said.

“At that moment, I felt the same magical energy I have long tried to capture from the sun and knew this was an incredible opportunity to partner with someone who shared that passion and together we could try to create something that evoked that feeling,” she added

Shilpa Shetty Kundra: This time with my son and newborn daughter is so precious

Bollywood actress and entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty Kundra finds the current time of staying home precious as she can spend many more moments with her son Viaan and her newborn daughter Samisha, whom she welcomed via surrogacy in February.

However, she shared that despite being caught up with work she ensures that she makes time for her family.

What has this pandemic taught Shilpa? “The universe knows how to reset, to teach us patience and value for what we have. Hope we learn from this experience and come out stronger,” she told IANS.

Anushka on ‘Bulbbul’: Wanted to show strong women through cinema

Actress-producer Anushka Sharma says she always wanted to show strong, independent women through cinema and her latest production venture, “Bulbbul”, is a step in that direction.

“The idea that Clean Slate Filmz (her production house, which she runs with her brother Karnesh) would one day create a genre of our own was never an intentional move. We, however, always wanted to create a style of storytelling that celebrates women and their spirit. We always wanted to show strong, independent women to audiences through cinema and ‘Bulbbul’ is our new offering in this regard,” she said.

Anushka stressed that the portrayal of women “in our cinema has always been skewed and lopsided”, adding: “I felt that as an actress and I decided that I will correct this as much as I can through my productions.”

“We are really proud that ‘Bulbbul’ is being loved by the audience because Karnesh and I really put our necks on the line to make projects that we hope will be clutter-breaking. The fact that people have called each and every attempt of ours as daring and adventurous is validation enough for us,” she said.

She is happy that “Bulbul” is garnering a good response among viewers and positive reviews: “Karnesh and I aren’t sacred storytellers. We make each project thinking we have nothing to lose. We are non-conformists and that’s what has really, really helped us to explore and create. It is a huge milestone moment for us because both ‘Pataal Lok’ and ‘Bulbbul’ have got great reviews and Janata appreciation.”

Anushka is proud to have backed new writers, directors, musicians, and actors who are making their mark in Bollywood.

“The success shows that we are on the right track and we will continue to make cinema that is brave, and back immensely talented filmmakers like Anvita Dutt, Sudip Sharma, Prosit Roy, Avinash Arun, and Anshai Lal, whose bold cinematic voices need to be heard,” she said.
