When Kajol opened up to Twinkle Khanna about aging anxiety
The two ladies from Bollywood who never shy away from speaking their mind - Kajol and Twinkle Khanna have joined forces for an exciting chat show, 'Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle'. Before Kajol and Twinkle's show premieres, let us turn back the clock and look at an old conversation between the two ladies when the 'DDLJ' actress opened up about age anxiety. When Twinkle asked Kajol if being an actor, she ever worries about aging, she revealed that, as a matter of fact, she does worry about it. Kajol shared that, according to her, aging has to do with energy more than the lines on your face. 'I think people look at how you are saying what you're saying. I feel more than the lines on the face, age shows in people's eyes, when they get tired, when they get bored of what they are doing- that's when people start noticing the lines and the wrinkles,' the 'Maa' actress added. 'So, I worry about it, yes, I am concerned about it- who isn't, and I do my daily routine religiously,' Kajol added. Shedding light on her daily routine, she shared, 'I am extremely careful about drinking my eight glasses of water. I have to have my 8 to 10 hours of sleep at least. I wash my face every night religiously, put my cream on, and I am like - 'now I am ready to go to bed'. And I take very-very good care of myself- I work out- I do all of it.' Coming back to 'Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle', the show was announced on Tuesday. The announcement poster showed Kajol and Twinkle peaking from behind a curtain with a surprised expression on their faces. Going by the reports, they will be hosting some prominent names from Bollywood during their chat show.

I end up with me time when it rains: Twinkle Arora
Udaariyaan actress Twinkle Arora has an emotional connection with the monsoon . 'I love the rains,' she says, adding, 'My idea of enjoying the rains is- a warm cup of coffee in one hand, a book in the other, and a scenic view in front. If I have company, wonderful, but even if I'm alone, I enjoy being by myself in a cozy café, immersed in a book while the rain taps on the windows. ' The actress who is doing the OTT show Jhanak with Arjit Taneja, has also debuted into Punjabi films. 'Being from North India, the concept of geri, is close to our hearts. And I love going on a geri in the rain. I usually end up having a me-time when it's raining.' Reflecting on her breakthrough in Udaariyaan , Twinkle acknowledges how the show became more than just a career milestone. 'The show didn't just put me on the map, it also initiated a spiritual transformation. I evolved and I'm truly grateful for it to my character, Nehmat. But yes, it also brings the pressure of choosing the right next step.' Commenting on the difference between films and TV as mediums, Twinkle says, 'Films are way different than TV. In TV you work every day and give short bursts of emotions during the whole day and learn to handle pressure. Movies are detailed and take longer. I love both mediums and I want to test my craft in every medium, OTT, Hindi, and Hollywood.'
