Watch: Pooja Hegde's Homesick Remedy Is Enjoying Parle-G With Chai
A cup of tea with Parle-G biscuits hits home – simple, nostalgic and oddly comforting. This combo is a typical morning ritual for many Indians. From office chai breaks to slow Sundays at home, Parle-G soaked in aromatic tea makes for a heavenly bite. Don't know about you, but Pooja Hegde certainly agrees. In her latest Instagram post, the actress, who is currently shooting for Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai with Varun Dhawan, was seen relishing this iconic combination in the UK.
Pooja confessed that, being away from home, savouring Parle-G with tea was her only remedy to beat homesickness. 'Simple joys to make me feel like I am at home,' she says in the clip before dunking a biscuit into her piping-hot tea and taking a scrumptious bite. 'This is some dangerous stuff,' she admits, before reaching for another one from the packet. The side note read, 'Nothing screams home like Parle G in my chai. Homesick remedies (red heart emoji).'

Back in May, Pooja Hegde and Varun Dhawan encountered a storm while filming in Scotland. As the cast and crew took a break from shooting, Varun offered a glimpse of their lunch menu, prepared by chef Inder 'paaji'. The lip-smacking platter included misti chicken, mixed vegetables, grilled salmon and dal tadka. Varun then switched the camera towards a tent where Pooja and the others were seen enjoying the delicious spread. When the actor asked how the food was, everyone agreed that it was 'Changa (good).' The caption said, ' Hai jawaani toh khaana bhi khaana hai. Eating in a storm.' Read all about it here.
Apart from desi dishes, Pooja Hegde is also a fan of gourmet Italian delights. On her trip to Paris, the actress followed the 'map to dolce vita'. She treated herself to appetising Prawn Linguine and creamy, mushroom-topped spaghetti served with fresh lime soda. For dessert, she had a cone of gelato ice cream. Phew.

We are a fan of Pooja Hegde's gastronomical adventures.

Justin Bieber responds to mental health concerns with blunt Instagram clapback: ‘Worry about yourself'
Pop sensation Justin Bieber is breaking his silence amid intensifying speculation over his mental health, marriage to Hailey Bieber, and recent cryptic social media activity. The 30-year-old singer fired back at online chatter with a pointed Instagram comment, telling concerned followers to 'worry about yourself.' The controversy reignited after a meme account on Instagram shared a screenshot of a text from someone referred to as 'Grandpa,' reading: 'I am worried about Justin Beber [sic]. There is so much heartbreak in Justin's life.' Bieber directly replied on June 10, commenting: 'Worry about yourself gramps.' The caption quipped that 'Grandpa thought about it for 24 hours,' accompanied by the phrase 'We all are.' Reactions to Bieber's clapback were mixed. While some fans celebrated his sharp retort — one added, 'If you're not worried, I'm not worried Mr. Bieber.' Others, however, expressed continued unease: 'Swear I be feeling this way too, check on Justin,' said one fan. 'We all are grandpa, we all are,' added another. Bieber's Instagram has been filled with ambiguous and emotional captions over the past few weeks. On June 7, he shared a set of awkward mirror selfies, captioned: 'U could point at my flaws.' Two days later, he posted blurry black-and-white photos and a somber message: 'Tired of transactional relationships. If I have to do something to be loved, that's not love.' On June 12, he added another cryptic note: 'The secret in this life is forgiveness.' In an earlier post, Bieber also appeared to criticise how loyalty is used in relationships, writing: 'Please stop using loyalty to keep people around you out of your own fear. It's hurting us. Mafia members use loyalty to keep people in their gangs. Let's not perpetuate this manipulative language.' The post has fueled rumors that the star may be struggling with personal issues — and possibly his relationship with Hailey Bieber, whom he married in 2018. Bieber's odd behavior at a Rhode pop-up event in February raised eyebrows and sparked drug-use rumors — which his team later firmly denied, calling them 'harmful.' While Bieber has openly posted about his marijuana use, insiders say some people close to him remain concerned about his emotional well-being.

Fiongal Greenlaw-Meek (39) a tarot reader, psychic artiste and spiritual adviser and founder of Wellness Foundry, and his husband Jamie Meek (45), a spiritual practitioner and yoga teacher, director of events at the foundry, based in Vauxhall, London, had been travelling in India before the crash and posted videos of their holiday on social media. The passenger list shows that both boarded the plane. They put a jovial video up on Instagram shortly before boarding from the gate at Ahmedabad airport. In it Fiongal said, 'We are going back happily, happily, happily calm' and that his biggest takeaway was 'Don't lose patience with your partner' after Jamie joked Fiongal had 'already snapped at him' having chai at the airport. In another Instagram video post they had posted from their boutique hotel, the House of MG, in Ahmedabad, Fiongal said: 'It's our last night in India and we've had a magical experience really and some mind-blowing things have happened.' 'We really have been on quite a journey, and then just spending the last night here in this amazing hotel, and we have just had the most delicious Thali food. It was a perfect way to round up the trip. Excited to share it all with you,' Jamie said. The Wellness Foundry was founded by Fiongal in late 2018, born out of a spiritual awakening that was sparked by a mysterious illness he had. On its website, Fiongal said that seeking healing beyond conventional methods, he had delved into alternative practices that resonated with his soul. It began as a one-man endeavour and until now has 12 expert practitioners, offering tarot and psychic readings, past life regression and reiki healings, as well as psychic retreats.
