Rashmika Mandanna opens up about her ‘happy' place: ‘Will guard this personal life with all that I have'
Adding that home is a very important aspect of her life, she told Hollywood Reporter India, 'As much as the love, fame, and visibility that I get, I still am just a daughter, a sister, a partner. I really respect that life. Right now, I am living in the best of both worlds. But I am someone who will guard this personal life with all that I have.'
Taking a cue, let's learn more about happiness and how one's home can evoke a sense of comfort.
Indeed, home is the one place where we can be our truest selves, unguarded and free. 'The walls of a home witness our laughter, tears, dreams, and quiet moments of reflection. It is in the familiar scent of home-cooked meals, the warmth of a loved one's embrace, or the simple joy of curling up in our favorite corner that we find deep, unspoken contentment,' said Dr Chandni Tugnait, psychotherapist, founder and director, Gateway of Healing.
According to Dr Tugnait, happiness, as a concept, is fluid and deeply personal. 'For some, happiness is found in solitude, in the soft hum of silence that allows them to recharge. For others, it is in the vibrant chaos of family, the echoes of children's laughter filling every room. Some seek happiness in the stability and security a home provides, while others find joy in the memories created within its walls,' said Dr Tugnait.
Ultimately, home is a reflection of what makes us feel safe, loved, and whole. It is where we retreat after a long day, where we create and store memories, and where we experience life in its rawest form. 'Whether grand or modest, filled with people or solitude, home is the space where happiness finds its way back to us, time and time again. Happiness, in this sense, is about freedom— the freedom to create, to dream, and to grow without judgment,' said Dr Tugnait.

Despite the momentary tension, Allu Arjun complied by removing his sunglasses and mask for identification before swiftly putting the mask back on and proceeding inside. Netizens react - 'Please follow the rules ' The incident was caught on camera and quickly went viral on social media platforms. One Twitter user wrote, "Please follow the rules Yesterday at Airport security , Allu Arjun was stopped by an officer and asked to show his face with Id. Allu was initially reluctant, and after a brief exchange of words, his assistant tried to convince the officer that he was Allu Arjun. Even then, the officer insisted on seeing his face. The actor eventually showed face, but only partially and for a very brief moment. It's understandable that celebrities may cover their faces to avoid being pestered for photos by co-passengers. But at a security screening, Face id rules shouldn't be bypassed. If someone were allowed into a secured zone without properly showing their face, wouldn't that make us feel unsafe?" Allu Arjun's 'protective dad' move melts hearts during family dinner outing Another comment read, "The security should get a pay hike immediately ." A third comment read, "Airport screening rules are for everyone.. not just common passengers. Security is the same for celebrities, VIPs, and the public."

THIS actress was the highest-paid actor in India, earned more than Shah Rukh Khan; Rajinikanth wanted to marry her
India's highest-paid actress is Priyanka Chopra, earning around ₹ 30 crore per film. In contrast, actor Allu Arjun is the highest-paid actor in India, taking home a whopping ₹ 300 crore for Pushpa 2: The Rule. The vast gap between these figures speaks volumes about the gender pay disparity in the industry — a stark contrast to an era when this actress was the highest-paid star in India, even earning more than Shah Rukh Khan, Salman, Chiranjeevi, Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth. In fact, she was so admired that even Rajinikanth once wanted to propose to her. The actress was none other than the late Sridevi. Back in the 90s, Sridevi, often called one of India's first lady superstar, made history by becoming the first female actor to demand ₹ 1 crore for a film. She reportedly charged this amount for the 1993 release Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja. The film was among the most expensive Indian movies of its time. Back then, the only actor charging more per film was Chiranjeevi. However, Sridevi quickly raised her fees, and by the mid-90s, even as Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan entered the ₹ 1-crore club, it is believed that Sridevi was commanding a higher paycheck than both of them. Even youngsters of the industry, including Shah Rukh, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Sunny Deol and Sanjay Dutt, were not earning close to Sridevi's fees. As per a report of Hindustan Times, they earned within the range of ₹ 50-75 lakh from 1992 to 97. The Khans entered the ₹ 1 crore club only after Sridevi quit films in the late 90s. Sridevi's unmatched versatility and pan-India stardom made her a top name across the Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu film industries. One of the few actresses who could carry films like Chandni, Gumraah, Army, and Laadla on her own, she often landed stronger roles than her peers and even charged more than many male co-stars of the time. Rajinikanth, who worked with Sridevi in Ranuva Veeran, Pokkiri Raja, and Chaalbaaz, was smitten by her. According to filmmaker K. Balachander, Balachander, Rajinikanth once went to propose to Sridevi at her house. However, just as Rajinikanth arrived, a sudden power outage took place at Sridevi's house. Rajinikanth, who is said to be superstitious, took it as a bad omen and left without conveying his feelings. It is said that he never shared his feelings with her again. Sridevi left films at the peak of her career when she got pregnant with her first child, Janhvi Kapoor, with Boney Kapoor. After the 1997 film, Judaai, she remained absent from films for nearly 15 years as she raised her daughter, Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor. The actor later made a brief comeback with the television show Malini Iyer in 2004-05. Her big-screen comeback came in 2012 with English Vinglish. She starred in films like Puli (2015) and Mom (2017) before her unfortunate death due to accidental drowning in 2018.
