Have you heard? Shilpa Shetty Kundra on keeping negativity at bay

Shilpa Shetty Kundra

Almost a month after husband Raj Kundra was arrested, Shilpa Shetty Kundra made her first on-screen appearance and ironically spoke about how to fight your way out of despair and find happiness. She was part of a Covid-19 fundraiser, We for India, which was held virtually on Sunday night. The yoga enthusiast said, "It is natural to have negative thoughts during tough situations but to control those emotions, it is important to do breathing exercises." She added that to remain positive, doing pranayam - the yogic practice of increasing life energies - has become an important tool in the present times. The actor also demonstrated breathing exercises to increase immunity. Yoga has kept her going despite the odds.

Hello, Lara

The Hong Kong-based model-actor added, "Having three kids [Zack, Leo and Lara] in four years, I thought we'd be taking it one day at a time, but we're taking it one feed at a time." Haydon wed businessman Dino Lalvani in 2016.

Second chance

Nidhhi Agerwal is hoping to begin anew in B-Town after featuring in the music video of Altaaf Raja's chartbuster, Saath kya nibhaoge, helmed by Farah Khan. Agerwal made her debut in the Tiger Shroff- starrer Munna Michael (2017), which proved to be a damp squib. She then veered towards the South industry. In 2018, Agerwal had set tongues wagging after she was spotted with cricketer K L Rahul at a Bandra cafe but later said he was a friend from hometown Bengaluru.

Here's to us and everything that awaits us together." Last night, Anil Kapoor hosted a post-wedding bash at home, which was attended by family members and close pals of the bridal couple.
