The Art of Living not only improved her mental and emotional wellness but also helped her foster better connections with others. 'I've noticed positive changes in my relationships too. I'm more mindful, more grateful, and more resilient in tough times.'
She credited the community aspect of the program for offering ongoing encouragement. 'Being part of the Art of Living community gives you this beautiful sense of support.
Everyone is on their own journey, but we're all growing together.'
Sheetal also had high praise for her teacher —fondly called Amol Bhaiya. 'He's truly exceptional—so witty, engaging, and full of wisdom. He makes complex ideas easy to understand with relatable, creative examples,' she said. 'His energy, patience, and ability to uplift everyone in the room is what made those six days absolutely delightful.'
In her words, the Happiness Program is not just about learning to breathe better—it's about learning to live better. 'It's taught me to appreciate the simple joys and be more present in the moment. That mindset shift has changed everything.'

Exclusive: Sargam Ki Sadhe Satii actor Akash Makhija gets engaged to childhood friend Roshni; says ‘Some stories aren't planned, they're meant to be'
Actor Akash Makhija, known for his roles in Sargam Ki Sadhe Satii, Har Mard Ka Dard, and films like Half Girlfriend and Nirmal Pathak Ki Ghar Wapsi, has announced his engagement to his childhood friend, Roshni. In an exclusive chat with Times of India TV, the actor shared the heartfelt journey that led to this beautiful milestone. 'Roshni and I have known each other since we were kids,' Akash revealed. 'What began as a simple acquaintance through our shared spiritual place — the Sant Nirankari Mission — slowly blossomed into a deep, meaningful friendship. Over the years, she became my closest friend — someone who understood me without explanations.' The bond deepened over a decade of shared memories, faith, and quiet companionship. 'We never imagined that destiny was quietly preparing a love story in the background,' he added. It was during the shoot of his show Gram Chikitsalay in Chhattisgarh that things changed. 'I was away for a month — and that distance made me realise something powerful. I didn't just miss her presence, I missed her. I flew back to Mumbai for just a day, only to see her, and returned the next morning. That's when it hit me — I loved her. And to my surprise, she felt the same.' The engagement took place on May 9 — coinciding with the release of Gram Chikitsalay. 'While one chapter of my dream came true on screen, another was beginning off-screen — with her.' Roshni, a fashion stylist and founder of her label NUR (Noor), designed both their engagement outfits. 'She blended emotion, elegance, and her unique touch into every detail,' Akash beamed. 'I've never been in a relationship before, so this is all new — and incredibly special. In a world where everything feels fleeting, she is the calm, the anchor. She is the thread that holds us together — strong, unbreakable, and full of grace.' Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Eid wishes , messages and quotes !

Exclusive - Narayani Shastri reacts to Smriti Irani's return to acting with Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2; says 'I'm very shocked, jisko ek baar acting ka keeda...'
Popular TV actress Narayani Shastri , who was last seen in Aap Jaisa Koi Nahi, is making her television comeback as a negative lead in the upcoming show Noyontara. Excited to return to the small screen, Narayani shared her thoughts about this new chapter. In an exclusive chat with Times of India TV, she also spoke about the second season of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Smriti Irani 's return to acting. Speaking about Noyontara and what drew her to the project, Narayani said, "Honestly, the story is very strong and interesting. Our writer Suhana presents female characters very beautifully. Generally, the way female characters are shown in TV shows, her writing is nothing like that. There is no vamp, good and bad, the way she is written is complicated to explain but very challenging to perform. And since I've done a lot of work, I'm always looking for challenges. I found this script on every level very interesting. I was very curious to know about the story, so I felt even the audiences would be excited to know and that's how I usually pick my roles. I am sure the audience will like it." Narayani, who portrayed the character of Kesar in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, shared her thoughts on the upcoming season of the iconic show, which is set to feature the original leads, Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay, once again. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo She addressed the buzz around whether she, too, would be a part of the much-awaited revival. "It is a great thing and I'm sure the recall value of the show will be excellent. I wish the team all the luck. I won't be able to do the show as I'm currently doing Noyontara. Also, my character Kesar was introduced much later in the show after one or one and a half years when Smriti was pregnant, to fill the gap. So Delhi bahot durr hai abhi. Right now, I'm very happy doing Noyontara." When asked about her reaction to Smriti Irani's comeback to acting, Narayani shared that she was shocked. "I'm very shocked because she's doing a very good job in politics, kehte hai na jisko ek baar acting ka keeda kaat lete hai toh bada mushkil hota hai, nikalna and she is so good at what she did. She's so talented in front of the camera that her return will definitely bring great value to the show." Mouni Roy wishes Smriti Irani on her birthday, says 'I wanted to be like you then, I wish to be like you now'
