New Delhi, Jun 25: Unlike moving out in the hot and humid weather for shopping and inviting unwanted attention from her fans, actress-enterprenuer Shilpa Shetty likes to buy products online as she says e-commerce is “unparalleled” and gives her a convenient and reliable shopping experience.

shilpa-shetty3"I shop everything from house stuffs, shoes, cushions, even I have bought Diwali diya's online," Shilpa said.

"Who has the time to go and buy these products outside. How can I go and buy? Firstly, I hate shopping in India because of this 'selfie' culture as it kills my shopping experience. People forget that we are also human being. To make matters worse I'm a shopaholic. So, now things have become far more professional and today you can get products even on Sunday. The online shopping experience is mind blowing," she added.

The 40-year-old, who was here on Wednesday along with her husband Raj Kundra to announce their home shopping channel's tie up with e-commerce portal Amazon.in, said she hates going out in India as it kills her shopping experience.

"I love shopping. To be able to access a product or anything that you need and have it delivered at your doorstep is something that is unparalleled. I don't have to waste petrol or get wet in rain to buy a product. Here on internet, I've an array of products to choose from. With shopping online or on TV, you have an added advantage and comfort," Shilpa, who donned her own designed denim paired with with shirt and green stilettos, said at the launch.

The tie up between the two brands is said to provide customers a variety of celebrity backed fashion and lifestyle products in a fast, easy, convenient and reliable way possible at affordable prices.

Starting from Shilpa's designer slim shape jeans and her line of sarees to Satyug Mangalsutra bracelet, Neeta Lulla’s saris and Anushka Dandekar’s line of jeggings, customers will have a wide range to products to choose from the e-commerce portal and the channel right from fashion, fitness, home and kitchen, to beauty and jewellery product range.

Chennai, Jul 30: Filmmaker S.S. Rajamouli on Wednesday said he and his family members have tested positive for coronavirus and are currently quarantined at home.

The director, best known for his epic fantasy hit Baahubali series, said they got tested after they developed mild fever recently which subsided by itself.

“My family members and I developed a slight fever few days ago. It subsided by itself but we got tested nevertheless. The result has shown a mild COVID positive today. We have home quarantined as prescribed by the doctors (sic)” he said.

In a subsequent tweet, Rajamouli said he and his kin are asymptomatic and “feeling better”. They are, however, following all the precautions and instructions.

“Just waiting to develop antibodies so that we can donate our plasma,” he added.

Before the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown was announced in March, the filmmaker was working on his upcoming period action drama Rise Roar Revolt.

The Telugu film, featuring actors Ram Charan and NTR Jr in the lead, is a fictional tale based on the lives of two freedom fighters in early 20th century.

Andhra Pradesh witnessed its worst single day spike of coronavirus on Wednesday, 10,000 plus cases, as the other southern states, including Tamil Nadu and Karnataka also reported high daily numbers, although they saw a dip in the infections.

The cumulative tally of southern states — AP, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Kerala and the Union Territory of Puducherry was 24,855 on Wednesday.

Chennai, Jan 15: Superstar Rajinikanth on Tuesday called for neutrality in journalism and urged media outlets to report the truth.

Addressing an event organised by Tamil magazine ''Thuglak' in Chennai, the superstar-turned-politician said that the country needs a journalist like the late Cho S Ramaswamy, who helmed the publication for decades.

"The times, politics and society are going bad. In such a scenario, the media had a huge responsibility towards the people," he said.

Some television channels are biased towards political parties, Rajinikanth said. He added that media, critics and journalists must report the truth impartially.

Comparing true news to milk and fake reportage to water, Rajinikanth said people will not be able to distinguish between the two if they are mixed.

"Only journalists need to tell which portion is milk and which is water...write the truth and don't make a lie seem like truth," he said, amid applause.
