Mumbai– Aishwarya Rai Bachchan took a nostalgic trip down memory lane as she attended the centenary celebrations of spiritual leader Shri Sathya Sai Baba. The actress revealed that long before she became a global star, she was a Bal Vikas student — and she still carries those lessons with her.
Speaking at the event, Aishwarya said the guru’s teachings, compassion, and presence “continue to reverberate” in her life. “Once a Bal Vikas student, always a Bal Vikas student,” she said, crediting Baba’s core principles — the “five Ds” — for shaping her values: discipline, dedication, devotion, determination, and discrimination (knowing right from wrong).
Quoting the spiritual leader, she added, “Education should not be for a living, but for life.”
The centenary celebration in Andhra Pradesh drew big names including PM Modi, Andhra Pradesh CM N. Chandrababu Naidu, and cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar.

Priyanka Chopra Reveals Juhi Chawla Is the Secret Behind Her Perfect Curls
Mumbai– Priyanka Chopra just dropped a sweet and stylish shoutout to the queen of ’90s curls — Juhi Chawla.
Sharing a glam Instagram story, Priyanka flaunted her bouncy curls and credited her inspiration: “Juhi Chawla is the forever inspiration,” she wrote, tagging her hairstylist. To drive it home, her stylist even reposted the clip with Juhi’s iconic Darr track “Tu Mere Saamne.”
Juhi’s famously luscious curls were a sensation in the ’90s, setting her apart in an era when most actresses stuck to straight or wavy looks. Films like Darr, Ishq, and songs such as “Jaadu Teri Nazar” made her ringlet-rich style iconic — and fans couldn’t get enough of it.
Priyanka, currently in India for the launch of SS Rajamouli’s upcoming epic Varanasi, seems to be carrying that same curly magic into her next big film, co-starring Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
