Bollywood's one of the most loved and beautiful stars,
Pooja Bedi
, recently turned a year older. And the years seem to have only added more wisdom to her life's journey. Reflecting on the same, in an exclusive interview with us, Pooja shared, 'The life-o-meter is tick tick ticking and every birthday is a reminder that I have more years behind me than ahead of me and I have to live my dreams.'
Though they say time stops for one, this diva has mastered the art of pausing the aging process. Speaking about the secret that keeps her young, the veteran actress mentioned, 'I have a company that's focused on bringing the eight pillars of wellness into everyone's lives: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, environmental, sexual, financial, and social. Workouts and healthy foods for physical fitness are as important to me as butter chicken and laughter are for mental wellness.'
Pooja Bedi has NO REGRETS
When questioned about any regrets in all these beautiful years, Pooja said, 'Making mistakes is part of being human. I don't call them mistakes. I call them experiences to learn and grow from. There are absolutely no regrets. It's one life, and it has to be a full and happy one.'
Pooja Bedi on parenting
Pooja Bedi is one of the entertainment industry's stars who raised her kids as a single parent. When asked to share how the entire journey had been, she hilariously replied, 'Though I'm a single mother, my kids are now grown adults at 25 and 27 years of age and very much their own individuals. I love being needed by them. But there's less and less of that and more of me needing them now.'

However, she did share with us the biggest takeaway from the parenting diary of her mother Protima Bedi and said, 'The greatest learning from my mom that I have carried forward is that the importance and value of parenting is in not being needed — to empower our children to be resilient, capable, and caring for themselves as well as others.'
Last but not least, speaking about her childhood memories, the actress used the words - 'unmatchable, crazy, happy, fun, and loving.'
'Growing up memories with my mom are what have created a blanket of memories that keep me warm and cocooned... and I seek to do the same with my kids. Ships are safe in harbours. But that's not why ships were built. Same with the human journey. Much to explore, understand, stand up for, stand up against, challenge, experience, and rejoice about,' she concluded.

Chennai Book Park sees a steady stream of crowd on Day 1
Status: cleared Chennai: Those entering the Central Metro station now have one-stop access to books from prominent publishers, spanning from Higginbothams to Katha, at the Chennai Book Park, opened by Chief Minister M K Stalin on Tuesday. An initiative of the School Education Department to kindle a reading habit among the public, the book park saw a steady stream of visitors on the first day. Nestled between a pharmacy and an eatery, en route to the ticket counter, one would rarely miss the park. Decked up with flowers and carpets, over 4,300 titles from over 13 publishers were on display. Among these, 84 titles were released on Tuesday. Most of the stalls belonged to the Tamil Nadu Text Book and Educational Services Corporation (TNTESC), which manages the functioning of the park. Nakkheeran, Shanti, and Coral were among the prominent publishers who set up stalls. Schoolbooks, guides, and books for competitive exams, mostly Tamil, were available. The cost of books ranged from ₹50 to ₹3,500. The CMRL is yet to fix signage for the park at entries and exits. TNTESC superintendent G Balaji said the park will be open from 9 am to 9 pm. "The schedule on weekend timings will be finalised in a couple of days. At least three staff, including security personnel, will man the premises," he said. Chezhian Kumarasamy, Executive Director of an advertising firm, said it was good to see people at a book park in a digital age where mobile phones call the shots. "I wish more such parks would be opened in places such as airports and MRTS stations," he said. Some, like law student L Lakshmi, who walked in thinking there would be a lot of autobiographies and non-fiction Tamil books, said she was surprised to find English books on self-help. Publication managers, however, aren't too optimistic about sales. "I don't know how many people will walk in. They are in a hurry to board trains," said Sivakumar, manager of one of the publications. By 8:50 pm, the facility registered a sale of about ₹35,000. The stalls have tied up with the TNTESC on a revenue-sharing model, said Katha Books CEO Ravin Carr. "Between 25% and 40% of the sale cost (depending on the size of the stalls) will be shared with the govt," he said. At the event, the Chief Minister also inaugurated 110 library buildings built across all districts at a cost of ₹29.80 crore and 70 special libraries at bus stands, hospitals, and district collectorates.
