'Lover Of Pak': BJP Blasts Rahul Gandhi, Kharge For Skipping I-Day Event At Red Fort
John Abraham recently opened up about his conscious decision to skip Bollywood parties—not because he lacks fun, but because he doesn't drink, hates the stench of alcohol, and sleeps early. He says he wakes up at 4:30 a.m., dives into world news and scripts, and prefers a disciplined, focused life far from the glamor and gossip. He and his wife Priya Runchal share the same values, and that's what keeps their relationship scandal-free.

‘I'm always scared of this word ‘ambition': Ranbir Kapoor reveals his definition of ambition and what drives him in life
Ranbir Kapoor's latest brainchild, ARKS — a lifestyle brand– recently dropped a new fragrance, and its promotions saw social media stars conversing with the Bollywood actor on all things work, fashion, and ambition. During the second episode of ARKS Insiders, What Makes My Day – Ambition, Kapoor and digital creator Sahiba Bali engaged in a long, drawn conversation about all things ambition, drive and purpose in life, as well as the little rituals that shape their day. For them, ambition isn't loud; it's deeply personal. It's in the quiet discipline, the perfect fit, and the scent that sets the tone. Because ambition doesn't always shout, sometimes, it simply shows up. 'I think when you are super ambitious, which you are, discipline is actually that one key that leads you to achieving what you want,' Bali told the Jagga Jasoos actor, to which he replied: 'I'm ambitious, of course, you know. I have a certain vision for myself. So I'm always scared of this word ambition, because ambition is a very personal thing,' he said. 'But when someone says you are super ambitious, it also comes with trampling other people and kind of trying to move ahead in life,' he added. According to Ashish Pillay, Psychologist at Mpower, Aditya Birla Education Trust, Ranbir's mindset on ambition is a beautiful example of self-awareness. 'He doesn't reject ambition, but he questions the kind that's rooted in ego, competition, or blind pursuit. He embraces growth but not at the cost of joy or integrity. He understands that ambition can be deeply personal, and it doesn't always need to be broadcasted or validated externally,' he said. That humility, coming from public figures, makes a huge impact. 'In a world that celebrates hustle culture, their conversation gently offers another path. One that values consistency over obsession, presence over perfection, and self-care over self-sacrifice,' mentioned Pillai. 'Healthy ambition makes you come alive it inspires you to grow, without losing your soul in the process. It allows room for gratitude, curiosity, and self-compassion. Toxic ambition, on the other hand, demands constant hustle, breeds insecurity, and measures worth only by productivity or accolades,' said Pillai, adding that Ranbir's message for all of us is to live well, be kind to every person, enjoy the little things, and not to overthink. He added that ambition doesn't have to be a storm, it can be a quiet, steady fire that keeps you warm, not one that burns you out. 'And sometimes, ambition can be as simple as showing up, dressing in what makes you feel good, and being kind. And maybe that's everything,' concluded the expert.

Sunny Leone is one of the most popular actors in the Bollywood industry. The 44-year-old who launched her skincare brand in 2017 recently revealed a simple DIY skincare hack that helps her take care of her skin.

The Baby Doll star also shared that she makes sure to follow her skincare routine regularly. Sharing her non-negotiables when it comes to skincare, the actor and model revealed that she would always wash her face and put on her night skincare. "That is needed whether you're young or you're older. When you're younger, it's all about preventative care, and when you're older, it's about maintaining the skin," she told the publication. Sunny Leone Approved Skincare Hacks And Tips Aloe vera is known for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties and can help you get rid of acne. And Sunny Leone swears by it too. She shared, "If you are breaking out, keep it (aloe vera) in your backyard or on your patio, your porch, or inside the house. And when you're having a crazy breakout or you just want a really nice mask, cut one of those up, smash it up, put it on your face, wash it off, and see the glow." Another thing Sunny Leone swears by when it comes to her skincare routine is always taking time out to take care of her skin. She urges all women to take at least an hour to take care of themselves. "I don't always get time for self-maintenance, so I try and make the time when the kids are at school. It really does take effort to take care of yourself. You have to come to terms with that. Letting go of yourself is definitely not worth it. Maybe at that moment you might feel good, but one month from now, two months from now, you're going to go, 'Oh, I hate my skin or I hate the way I'm looking.' So, you have to make the time. That one hour for yourself is important to take care of yourself," she added. Sunny Leone's skincare tips and hacks are worth trying, and you should definitely give them a try. However, don't forget to check with your dermatologist first.

Shehnaz Treasury says she was called ‘too fat' on Ishk Vishk set, put on crazy diet: ‘I wasn't allowed to eat'
In the world of glitz and glamour, actors are often expected to conform to rigid beauty standards. In a recent interview with ETimes, Shehnaz Treasury, who made her Bollywood debut with Ishq Vishk, revealed how the director body-shamed her and forced her onto a strict diet to appear thinner for the film. Shehnaz Treasury reveals she was put on crazy diets to look thin in Ishk Vishk. Shehnaz Treasury on being bodyshamed on Ishk Vishk set Shehnaz opened up about how it had always been about her appearance, right from her very first movie, Ishq Vishk. She recalled the pressure of playing Alisha, the best-looking girl in college, and said, 'In college, there was all that pressure too — you know, like Neeli neeli aankhon wali kaun hai wo — and then the director was like, 'You've got to wear green lenses, you have to be perfect, you have to look great. Oh, you don't look good in some angles; actresses are supposed to look good in all angles,' as if it was my fault.' She added, 'I was told, 'Oh, you're too fat, your belly is sticking out, you need to diet.' The other girl in the movie was so thin — they were padding her, putting pads on her — while they were trying to shrink me. So I was on some crazy diet. They wouldn't let me eat. It was so ridiculous. And it was so sad. Looking back, I can't believe we had to go through those things. In fact, the world we live in today is much nicer to actors and more accepting of all shapes and sizes.' About Ishq Vishk Directed by Ken Ghosh, the teen romantic film marked the debut of Shahid Kapoor. The film tells the story of Rajiv (Shahid Kapoor), who aspires to be popular in college and pretends to be in love with glamorous girl Payal (Amrita Rao), while neglecting his childhood best friend Mambo (Vishal Malhotra) and hurting Payal's feelings. It emerged as a sleeper hit and made Shahid an overnight sensation. About Shehnaz Treasury Shehnaz rose to fame as an MTV VJ before transitioning to acting with Ishq Vishk. She later appeared in films such as Hum Tum, Luv Ka The End, Umar, Delhi Belly and Main Aur Mr. Riight. She was last seen in the American comedy film Americanish which released in 2021. Currently away from the big screen, she keeps her 1.4 million Instagram followers engaged with content on travel, lifestyle, and health.
