Shilpa Shetty on International Yoga Day: There was a time when Yoga was associated with old people

shilpa shetty on international yoga day
Be it her workouts or diet, Shilpa Shetty maintains a holistic lifestyle and Yoga has a big part to play in the same. Shilpa has been quite vocal about the benefits of Yoga and has even released a few DVDs on Yoga. After all, she has been practicing it for 15 years now. The 43-year-old actor spoke to DNA on International Yoga Day and discussed the importance of Yoga.
“Yoga, according to me, is a science and an art that is performed by the body, but it actually sates our soul. That is the reason I have taken it up so seriously. I want to be connected with my soul,” shares Shilpa. The actor also says that Yoga plays an important role in maintaining one’s mental health and she wishes more people would take it up as a regular practice.
Shilpa discusses that over the years the popularity of this ancient form has increased. She says, “I remember there was a time when it was associated with old people. But then it became rampant in the West and I suddenly saw this surge take over internationally and in India. I see a number of yoga studios coming up and the exercise being performed by younger people.” Shilpa credits PM Narendra Modi for creating more awareness about Yoga by announcing the International Yoga Day.
Shilpa even offers advice to people who want to start practicing Yoga. She shares, “Ideally, one should do 45 minutes to one hour of yoga practice. It’s more like action and reaction. But if you don’t have that much time, I would urge people to start off with breathing. That is one thing that will help lower your blood pressure and many heart-related problems. It can also help you with diabetes.”
Shilpa Shetty is known for her ageless looks and one can say that Yoga can surely be credited for that.

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team.
