Saanand Verma, Vijayendra Kumeria, and Sudha Chandran share their secret to handling stress and striking a balance!

Image
Saanand Verma There is only one reason for celeb burnout that is because we don’t keep our calm and cool. If we keep cool then everything will be sorted out. Being alert is really important because sometimes things get mismanaged. Bodyguards don’t work properly or sometimes there is some goof-up in crowd management. Many times the fans cross their limit. Ups and downs are part and parcel of life so we should keep our minds calm. I keep calm by keeping myself mentally strong and keeping away the negative energies. Greed, anger, and anxieties should be deleted from your system. An actor wants more people to come to him, give them love, click pictures, and appreciate their work. The more you get the more good it is. I enjoy whenever people come to me because I am working for them. I think about my audience and work. They are my top priority and I love them. When they reach out to me for anything then I feel more than happy. To keep work stress under control, the best way is to...

So, the title Channa Mereya makes me feel love and that’s what comes to my mind every time I hear it. Since I'm Punjaban, Channa Mereya means ‘Chaand Mera’. The show narrates a beautiful love story. These two words are an expression of love without any expectations. I know it's very rare in today's time, but it still exists,” she says. Initially, Aradhana thought her character is negative because, in her entire career, she has mostly played such roles.

However, the actress says that she is open to coming back if the role and project offered to her is worth her while. “I haven't thought about it actually because I have been busy with the hospitality industry but acting is always in an actor's blood. So, I guess if I do get a very interesting character to play, I think I will be open to the idea. Acting has always been part of me since I have been a kid. So, I don't know how I will feel getting back into acting after so many years. I have not thought about it but I think I might just give it a try if something really good comes up,” she says.

Shanu Singh Rajput: Supporting a cause in any form, be at ground level or by cash, is equally important

Image
Every celebrity supports one cause or the other just by their mere presence or by attending events. However, there are hardly a few of them who are going out there and doing real field work. Cinematographer Shanu Singh Rajput talks about the trend and the causes he feels for.  “Supporting a cause in any form is equally important. Look at it this way. In a very stereotypical household, a father isn’t usually around as he is busy earning money for the family, whereas the mother is the caregiver. So you can’t say less of either. There are people doing ground level charity work. Supporting the caregivers is equally important.  What is important is to make sure that the money is utilised for the right purpose,” explains Shanu, known for his work in 'Avrodh', ‘Code M’, '21 Sarfarosh’, ‘Me Hero Bol Raha Hun’ and so on. If every celebrity supports a specific cause and constantly works on the field, then they can influence a lot more people to join in. And, t...

Actor Jay Zaveri who is currently seen in Apnapan has a good fan following. He says, “I love interacting with fans. I have got two distinct interacting experiences with fans. One was in the very beginning of my career when I got the role in Mere Sai. What happened was that I was just walking down the road and I was in my shorts as I had stepped down in my own area. Suddenly a guy came from behind and turned me around. The guy suddenly touched my feet and said you play the role of Das Ganu Maharaj right? He said you do it beautifully and me and my wife watch your show regularly. If we miss it we watch it on Sony Liv. I was shocked because he was of my dad's age and he touched my feet because I played the character of Das Ganu Maharaj. That was one unexpected experience. Then I thought I'm doing something worthwhile and my fans are liking it. After that, I took a selfie with him”. He further adds, “Another fan experience was when I did an OTT show called Abhay.

CELEBS SPEAK ABOUT PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT ON WORLD NATURE CONSERVATION DAY

Image
  On the occasion of World Nature Conservation Day (July 28) today, celebs share the things that they practice to do their bit to protect the environment   Chitra Vakil Sharma The reality is that Mother Nature provides us with everything we need in our lives – right from a cradle to the pyre. So, whatever we do is less when it comes to preserving nature. However, the most basic and the easiest thing to do to conserve a nation is to plant more trees to have a healthy environment. These are the tiniest steps that we can take to make it healthy for our children and us. We should avoid deforestation at all costs. We should also support and encourage architects/engineers who are coming up with ways to make buildings without having to cut the trees. The second thing that I majorly believe in and also practice in my life is the three R’s- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. You should always shop wisely as it will help in conserving nature in a huge way.  Saanand Verma Don’t ...

Image
In the age of Superheroes, Ek Villain Returns to the big screens after 8 long years. With Ek Villain having been a hit, it comes as no surprise that the sequel would be such a huge affair.

Aanand L Rai's ‘Raksha Bandhan’ to play its trailer during India vs West Indies tonight

Image
It can only be expected of an Akshay Kumar movie to go above and beyond to reach its audience. In an innovative step up in movie promotions, Akshay’s new movie Raksha Bandhan’s trailer will be played during the India vs West Indies cricket match series. This isn't the first time that cinema has integrated cricket into a promo strategy. However Aanand L Rai’s reasoning to do so is quite endearing. One would assume the move is slightly redundant since the trailer is already out. However Aanand L Rai wanted to play the trailer during the India vs West Indies cricket match solely because it is the match that gets televised on Doordarshan. Doordarshan is the only broadcast that gets the maximum reach in rural parts and all places in India. Thus this integration has been made in an effort to reach the audience in every nook and cranny of India. Directed by Aanand L Rai, Produced by Aanand L Rai and Himanshu Sharma in association with Zee Studios, Alka Hiranandani and Cape of ...
