Motherhood has changed my life- Pranitaa Pandit

Image
Actor Pranitaa Pandit and her husband Shivi were blessed with a daughter in August last year. While she loves being new mom, she says that it’s challenging as well. “Raising a child is a full-time job, it is important to do your maximum and give your child whatever time you are able to give. Thankfully, for people who have help and can tactfully manage their time or are staying in a joint family, it’s a bit easy,” she says.However, help or no help, the actor says that it’s important for any new mom to have some me-time. “It’s extremely important for a new mom to have her own time. Initially, it’s overwhelming, it’s extremely difficult. The first few months are tough to another level. It’s important to detach yourself and take out time even if it means just sitting in a corner and having tea,” says the Kavach 2 actor.Pranitaa, who has been seen in the show Jamai Raja, admits that she never thought that it was important for her to have a child, until she had one. “Till the ti

Kinjal refuses to leave her job at Vanraj's company, Anupamaa supports her decision

Image
A new twist has shaken up the entire Shah family of Rajan Shahi's "Anupamaa". The family got to know about Vanraj being fired from his job, but little did they know that Kinjal will be hired by the company and for the same post. While the Shahs are arguing whether Kinjal should accept or refuse the job, Kavya has taken it to her heart that she will have to work under Anupamaa's daughter-in-law Kinjal. Kinjal tells everyone at home that she was not aware that it was Vanraj's company, and when Paritosh asked her to reject the offer, she negatively replied. Samar, Anupamaa, Babuji, and Mamaji, support Kinjal's decision saying it might affect her career graph. That's when Paritosh reveals that he has also accepted a job at Dave's Excellency Coaching Classes and will not let go of the offer. Meanwhile, Kavya provokes Vanraj against Anupamaa saying that she must have known about Kinjal's job at his company. She tells him now that

Meera Deosthale: I know, I am not extraordinarily beautiful If there is anything that can be said with certainty about actor Meera Deosthale, it is that she is very comfortable in her skin. The Udaan actor says that she has always been well aware of how she looks and loves herself the way she is. “I have always been told that I am not very beautiful when it comes to conventional good looks by my family and those close to me. And I am very grateful that they have done this since it has given me an honest perspective. So, I know I am not extraordinarily beautiful, but I also know my strengths. I have also been told that I look cute and pretty. I am someone who is  Such is her confidence that Meera doesn’t even let trolls and body shamers bog her down. “I think I am very lucky to have such loving fans and followers around me. Whenever I put up a post, most of the comments are positive. But even if I get some negative comments, I don’t let them bother me. I have so much going for me in my

The COVID-19 cases are increasing every day. Though there are some obvious symptoms of the virus, it is observed that people can be positive and still not show any symptoms. Actor Sharad Malhotra says, “it’s our individual responsibility as citizens to not infect the other person”.   He feels one can be asymptomatic and can still infect other people, so it’s important to follow the precautions and maintain social-distancing.     “It’s important to maintain hygiene, but I feel it’s our individual responsibility as citizens to not infect the other person. You can be asymptomatic, but you can still infect the other person with the virus. Your immunity or threshold is strong, but there are seniors and elders and we need to take care of them as well, so, we need to be responsible and try to not pass it to the next person. That should be the idea,” he said.   He calls, “social-distancing” as the new sad word that 2020 added to our vocabulary and sharing the precautions he takes w

In a popular TV show, which is doing wonders on-screen, the husband has an extramarital affair and leaves his wife of 25 years for another woman. But as luck would have it, he meets with an accident and falls in love with his wife while she is taking care of him. He asks for forgiveness and confesses his love, but the wife rejects him. Though cheating or infidelity is something that no one can accept, what to do when the infidel asks for forgiveness, should they be given another chance? We spoke to a few celebs about it, and here's what they had to say: Ajay Singh Chaudhary: A relationship is based on trust, and if it breaks then the relationship also breaks. So cheating is unforgivable and is not unacceptable at all. If the other person tries to mend things and asks for forgiveness, it has to be genuine. If we don't forgive others if we don't forgive ourselves, then how will we live a peaceful life, because at the end of the day that's what we all aim for.
