Bhagyashree, known for promoting wellness and conscious living, shared a glimpse of her eco-friendly lifestyle. In a social media post, she highlighted some of the sustainable habits she has adopted, including using a wooden toothbrush, storing water in glass bottles, and growing fresh vegetables at home using compost made from kitchen waste.
Sharing her video, the 'Maine Pyar Kiya' actress wrote, 'World Environment Day. Conscious sustainable choices of daily living. These are a few of the things I have incorporated. Wooden toothbrush Glass bottles Fresh veggies homegrown with kitchen waste compost..And more. What is it that you do?.'
Meanwhile, environmental enthusiast Dia Mirza praised 'The Solar Man of India', Professor Chetan Singh Solanki, for his ongoing efforts in driving the Finite Earth Movement. She reiterated the urgent need for global climate action, citing alarming data from the Global Footprint Network which states that humanity is currently using resources 1.7 times faster than Earth can replenish.
Dia urged citizens to join the movement led by Energy Swaraj and Professor Solanki, which aims to unite one billion people in making informed and sustainable choices.
She wrote, 'The Solar Man of India Professor Chetan Singh Solanki continues on his mission for #CimateAction. The Finite Earth Movement is a clarion call for each of us to recognise that we live on a planet that has finite resources. To sustain the current global consumption patterns, humanity would need the equivalent of about 1.7 Earths, according to the Global Footprint Network. This means that we are using natural resources 1.7 times faster than the planet can regenerate them. This is why we need to urgently correct our patterns of consumption by informed choices. The @energy_swaraj @drchetansolanki aim to bring 1 Billion people together on this mission. Join the movement this # World EnvironmentDay2025.'
World Environment Day, celebrated annually on June 5, aims to increase worldwide awareness and motivate efforts to protect the environment. This year's theme focuses on ending plastic pollution.

22 took off, 14 made it: Pigeon flies 1,790km from Delhi to Karnataka's Mandya in 52 days; wins South India's federation race
MANDYA: The pigeon in Bollywood flick 'Delhi 6 (2009) was quite a rage, as depicted in the film through A R Rahman's masterful score 'Masakali', named after the bird. Or for that matter, the white pigeon 'Handsome' in the blockbuster 'Maine Pyar Kiya' (1989), delivering love letters to smitten souls. Even World War narratives are replete with pigeon tales of valour, with the avians delivering critical communication in times of strife. But here we have a pigeon from Mandya that has flown back home all the way from New Delhi in 52 days - excluding the start and end days of the flight - to win South India's homing pigeon federation race. In an extraordinary feat of endurance and instinct, this one-year-old male pigeon named Abhimanyu completed its maiden competitive flight over the 1,790-km distance without ever losing track of the aerial route. The long-distance homing race was organised by the Karnataka Homing Pigeon Federation, with 22 pigeons in the fray from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. All the birds, fitted with identification rings, were released in Delhi on April 5. Abhimanyu, the youngest in the group and owned by Sridhar of V C Farm in Mandya, completed the journey on May 28. 14 birds managed to return home Representing the Mandya Homing Pigeon Association, Abhimanyu's performance is being hailed as a milestone in India's pigeon racing community. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Earn a Global Degree BITS Pilani Digital Apply Now Undo For the record, Abhimanyu was among the 14 avians that managed to return home. Sharing details of the bird's rigorous training programme, Sridhar told TOI : 'We began with short-distance flights — 5 km, 10 km, then 15 km — and gradually went up to 1,000 km. For this race, I entered two pigeons: Abhimanyu and Punyakoti. While Abhimanyu returned on May 28, Punyakoti is still missing.' Sridhar, who has kept Abhimanyu indoors since his return to ensure his safety, said the journey wasn't easy. 'These birds face many dangers during the flight, especially attacks from predatory birds like falcons. The fact that Abhimanyu made it home safely is a testament to his strength and instincts,' he said while sounding a note of optimism about Punyakoti's return. 'There have been cases where pigeons have returned home even after eight years. I still believe Punyakoti will be back.' Buoyed by Abhimanyu's success and with an eye on an upcoming competition in December, Sridhar is now training 21 pigeons.

‘Really works for me': Bhagyashree shares 5-step home remedy that makes her hair ‘thicker and lustrous'
Bhagyashree might have taken a rest from the movies, but she continues to win hearts by sharing her years of experience through health and wellness tips on social media. Her ongoing series #tuesdaytipswithB on Instagram covers a wide range of topics — food, fitness, health, and wellness. Most recently, the Maine Pyar Kiya actor gave us a peek into her haircare routine, sharing the secret to battling hair fall during this rainy season. In the caption of her Instagram post, Bhagyashree listed down the 5-step concoction recipe that makes her hair 'thicker and lustrous': 'Want beautiful hair? Try this simple remedy to make your hair thicker & more lustrous. Methi: Promotes hair growth, reduces hair fall, helps to strengthen hair, and improves scalp health. Kadipatta: Strengthens hair and potentially delays premature graying. Hibiscus: Promotes hair growth and improves hair texture. Onion Juice: Its high sulfur content helps to thicken hair and stimulate growth. It also improves blood circulation to the scalp and combats dandruff. Coconut Oil: Adds lustre, restores damaged hair, and is anti-frizz.' According to her, keeping this concoction out in the sun for a day allows the onion juice to ferment and double its benefits. 'This really works for me. All you have to do is use it for 1 month to restore strength and luster to your hair,' she added in the video. We reached out to experts to find out the efficacy of this solution and learn about their benefits in detail. Shweta Shah, celebrity nutritionist and founder at Eatfit24/7, told that fenugreek seeds (methi) are abundant in folic acid, vitamin A, K, and C, and are a storehouse of minerals such as potassium, calcium, and iron. 'They also have high protein and nicotinic acid content, which helps prevent hair fall and dandruff, and in treating a variety of scalp issues like dryness, baldness, and hair thinning,' she said. Curry leaves are rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients that may help strengthen hair roots, reducing hair fall. 'They also contain beta-carotene, which can rejuvenate and condition the scalp,' she mentioned, adding that coconut oil is known to aid hair growth since the oil has anti-microbial properties. 'Hair is made up of keratin (a protein) that has been found to contain sulfur. Onion juice is also rich in sulfur. When added to the hair and scalp, onion juice may provide extra sulfur to support strong and thick hair, and thus could prevent hair loss and promote hair growth,' said Dr Rinky Kapoor, consultant dermatologist, cosmetic dermatologist, and dermato-surgeon, The Esthetic Clinics. Dr Kapoor added that hibiscus is known for its conditioning properties, promoting hair growth, and preventing hair fall. For some people, the mixture can create dryness after hair washing. 'In such a situation, especially when your hair is frizzy, you need to apply conditioner,' she said.
