Mira Kapoor's luxury wellness centre offers Rs 1.75 lakh ‘sleep reset' package, stirs online debate: 'Jo bachi kuchi neend aati thi woh bhi udd jayegi'
Mira Kapoor, wife of Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor , has made a bold foray into the world of wellness with the launch of her premium centre, Dhun, in Bandra, Mumbai. After the success of her skincare label Akind, Mira's latest venture reflects her ongoing commitment to holistic health and conscious living. But while the serene 6,000 sq. ft. space and earthy aesthetics are being praised, it's the pricing of some services that has the internet talking. In a recent video shared by Shahid, fans got a glimpse of the wellness centre's calming interiors, soundproof walls, and minimalistic design, all echoing Mira's own understated style. She was seen in a beige co-ord set and jacket, blending seamlessly with the centre's natural tones. It offers a range of high-end treatments, from a Rs 7,500 sound healing session and Rs 10,000 aura cleansing to a Rs 5,500 red light therapy bed said to improve collagen production. There's also a Rs 10,000 aura and chakra scanner and a Rs 7,000 cryotherapy session. However, the real showstopper is the Rs 1.75 lakh sleep reset and gut-cleanse program, a week-long intensive Mira claims is tailored for Mumbai's chaotic pace. The internet, however, isn't convinced. Reactions poured in on Reddit, with many mocking the luxury pricing. 'No way. My 1.75 lakh is going straight to mutual funds,' wrote one user. Another said, 'Sleep me reset toh hoga hi naa, itne paise kharch karne ke baad jo bachi kuchi neend aati thi woh bhi udd jayegi.' A third chimed in, 'Rich people's idea of wellness is a comedy show in itself.' Shahid Kapoor spotted at Guru's place Bandra Critics also questioned the purpose behind the project, suggesting Mira, with her resources and privilege, could have done something more impactful. 'She should really do something she's passionate about. This is just a waste of time, energy and resources,' one comment read. Despite the online backlash, Mira seems unfazed. The 31-year-old shared that Dhun is a deeply personal project born out of her own journey with wellness. Shahid, ever the supportive partner, was by her side during the launch. The couple even performed a traditional puja at the centre on Akshay Tritiya, accompanied by Shahid's parents, Pankaj Kapur and Supriya Pathak . The family was all smiles as they broke coconuts and posed with tilaks on their foreheads, marking the beginning of this new chapter.

Javed Akhtar reveals Kangana Ranaut's lawyer asked if she could call him a 'father figure' after apology: 'I told them I don't want to be a father figure to such a beautiful girl'
Veteran lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar has finally broken his silence on the legal battle and eventual apology from Kangana Ranaut . The two had been locked in a defamation case for nearly five years, which began in 2020 after Kangana allegedly made defamatory remarks against Akhtar in a television interview. In 2025, Kangana offered an unconditional apology in court, an act Akhtar says brought closure to the matter. In an interview with The Lallantop, Javed Akhtar recalled the day of the court hearing when Kangana submitted her apology. 'Yes, we met that day in court. She wrote an unconditional apology before the judge and signed it. I never asked her for money — not Rs 50 crore, not even five rupees. I had only asked for an apology, and she gave it in front of the judge, who signed it too,' he said. The conversation took a light-hearted turn when Akhtar shared an unexpected moment from that day. 'After the court hearing, we spoke. While leaving, she said I should write songs for her next film. I said, 'Why not?' Then her lawyer asked if they should write in the statement that she respects me a lot and sees me as a father figure. I told them not to add that — I don't want to be a father figure to such a beautiful girl,' Akhtar added with a smile. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mensualités: Bonne nouvelle pour les propriétaires étouffés par les crédits Bons plans propriétaires En savoir plus Undo Stars Attend Saleha Yohann's Birthday Bash Akhtar also stressed that the issue is now behind him. 'Everything was resolved. She gave the written apology I had asked for and also promised never to speak about me in such a manner again. There was no personal enmity. What she said earlier was baseless, and she accepted that. So why hold on to it? If I meet her again, I'll greet her warmly.'
