Rakul Preet's discipline stems from her army connection!

Join us on Facebook 

Actress Rakul Preet who is set to make her foray into Bollywood with Yaariyaan; the directorial debut of T-Series’ head honcho Bhushan Kumar’s wife Divya Kumar, has a habit of reaching her sets half an hour before time!

When asked about it, she credits her tendency to her army connection. Rakul’s dad is a colonel in the army and she has done her final years of schooling from Army Public School in Delhi. A mathematics graduate, she has studied financial management.

“They say discipline is the soul of an army. I have grown up inculcating the values of timeliness, obedience, restraint and commitment. I’m realizing that qualities like these go a long way in shaping life,” she says with dreams in her eyes.

Rakul’s family background puts the gal in a unique league of Bollywood beauties like Preity Zinta, Priyanka Chopra, Sushmita Sen, Anushka Sharma, Chitrangada Singh and Lara Dutta; all of whom hail from military backgrounds; with parents posted in various rungs of the military hierarchy.

It's Aishwarya's turn to shout LEAVE ME ALONE from Jalsa!

 Ex-Miss world Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is paying a heavy price of being a celebrity.  No doubt she was and she is one of the most beautiful women, those who think she looks ugly post delivery should stop discussing about her weight gain.

From past few days we have been reading about the hassle and slamming she is getting from media. Everyone is complaining about her post delivery weight gain issues. She was compared with the actors who jumped back to shape after pregnancy with Victoria Beckham, Angelina Jolie and our very own Ex-Miss Universe Lara Dutta.

I remember a year ago Amitabh Bachchan angrily said, “IT’S A LOWEST QUALITY OF JOURNALISM”, when a few gossipers started murmuring that Aish is unable to conceive.

Recently Lara Dutta Bhupathi(a mother of lovely baby girl Saira) seemed irritated when someone asked her opinion on Aish’s weight gain.  “You have no right to pass comments on women like Aishwarya who have gone through a hard time during pregnancy. I stayed away from putting weight because of yoga, during my pregnancy but that’s my personal choice which may not be the case of Ash. So, please refrain from getting judgmental,” quips Lara.

She adds when being probed whether she will give tips to Aish for weight lose, “Please respect the private life of Ash as a mother, who has every right to look however she wants.”

Sonali Bendre, who is close to Bachchan's told a tabloid,  when she was asked about Aish weight gain, "People are being too harsh on Aish. She  deserves a break, she has just had a baby. Please let her be. Let her enjoy this happy phase of her life.”

It’s her own life, it’s time to let her be. One cannot describe motherhood in words, she is currently enjoying it. She is in a happy space; she will lose weight when she wants to. It’s her own decision to live this blissful time, and to nurse and invest time with Aardhya than spend hours at the gym trying to look her skinniest best.

Unlike other actress, Aish didn’t get wheeled into plastic surgery and liposuction rooms straight from the labour room. At least respect her as a mother.

She is all set to attend Cannes film festival and face the world with pride & dignity, she should be appreciated she isn’t hiding or hibernating. I am confused why Media is discussing about her weight gain.

I will not be surprised when I see Aish shouting “LEAVE ME ALONE” from the roof top of their residence Jalsa.

Glamourized Pregnancy Obsession!

Weight gain, weight loss, maintaining a perfect shape; these are the most common concerns of today’s women. And the credit to this concern goes to the influence that celebrities leave on women.

Weight gain during and after pregnancy used to be a normal thing through which every women undergoes whether she is a normal housewife, a corporate worker or an actor but with change in time it has become a widespread concern. Most of us don’t understand that it’s pretty normal to gain weight during pregnancy. An average woman is disillusioned and upset when her pregnancy symptoms don’t reflect on celebrity mumma’s like Lara Dutta, Beyonce, Miranda Kerr etc. A common woman does not understand that celebrities have infinite resources and money to spend on their personal appearance which makes them look fit.

New mumma’s end up feeling frustrated and low when they compare themselves with glamorous pregnancies of celebrity moms. Instead of enjoying their motherhood they fall in the trap of glamour which is fake, unrealistic and of no use.

Lara was seen proudly flaunting her baby bump and glamourizing pregnancy. The chubby actress looked like a yummy mummy. Unlike her, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had put on weight post pregnancy (she gave birth to Beti B in November).

Lately in Ambani's party Aish was spotted in her flab look with a double chin which became breaking news (even we uploaded the pic). It seems that she is not really interested in fatafat weight loss. May be she wants to enjoy her motherhood instead of wasting time in weight loss.

I will not exaggerate if I say that Aish, who turned flab from fab post pregnancy looks like a common women.

So when the style icon “Aishwarya Rai Bachchan” can sacrifice her perfect shape to enjoy the phase of motherhood then why can’t we stop ourselves from getting influenced by fake stereotypes of Glamour World and enjoy being common.
