She wrote on her Instagram page, “Dear friend with a different body type, Thank you for constantly acknowledging how lucky I am to be skinny. Thank you for not even considering my body concerns. Thank you for always ignoring my efforts at being fit and calling me blessed. Thank you for not appreciating my efforts for transforming my body from 45 to 50 kilos. Thank you for telling me ‘You can eat anything and it won’t even show’. Thank you for letting me know that a ‘skinny to fit’ journey doesn’t matter, it’s only the ‘fat to fit’ that counts. Regards, Your skinny friend.”
“Everyone is fighting their silent battles, don’t make judgements based on what you see, some people are trying to lose weight while some are trying to gain, some stay fit their whole lives by constantly putting efforts. No one is LUCKY.

Nilu says: “It was a fun filled reunion for three of us. Usha and Indira are my close friends. We couldn’t meet for a long time because of Covid-19 scare. So we planned our day out after years.

Parineeti Chopra debuts on TV with reality show ‘Hunarbaaz’
Mumbai– Bollywood actress Partineeti Chopra has been roped in for the reality show ‘Hunarbaaz’. She will be joining Mithun Chakraborty and Karan Johar on the panel of judges.
She says this show will give her a chance to meet people from different parts of the country and it is surely going to be an exciting thing for her.
She says: “I have always loved being on stage and interacting with a live audience and I was aware that reality television shows would give me the chance of meeting people from parts of India whom we don’t get to interact with easily and hear their stories. I would get offers to be a part of reality shows but none of the shows felt right, this is the show which felt right as it gave me the scope to do both of these things.”
For the actress, who has been part of Bollywood, making a television debut with Karan Johar and Mithun Chakraborty is truly a great experience.
“It is an absolute honour for me to share this stage with Karan Johar and Mithun Da, who are both stalwarts in their field and are truly legends,” she adds.
Disha Parmar opens up about upcoming sequence in ‘Bade Acche Lagte Hai 2’
Mumbai– ‘Bade Acche Lagte Hai 2’ actress Disha Parmar talks about the upcoming sequence in the show, where her on-screen character Priya gets jealous and how this will affect her relationship with Ram (Nakuul Mehta).
When asked if jealousy is the right way of expressing her feelings, Disha says: “I don’t think I have ever experienced a relationship in the absence of jealousy. Mild jealousy is the needed electricity to keep a relationship alive and thriving. These aching pangs are nothing but our heart’s language of hurting for our beloved. Priya’s jealousy is healthy, is needed, especially since they started on a rocky road.”
“Her feeling jealous will take her to the right path of making her fall head over heels in love with Ram. And I think I remember a quote which goes something like ‘In jealousy, there is more of self-love than love’. So here you have Priya, coming to terms with her feelings for Ram, coming to terms with her married life with him and wanting to be with him,” she adds.
