Mumbai, Jan 6: Amid the national outrage over several women being molested in full public view on New Year's eve in Bengaluru, actor Hrithik Roshan has condemned the incident and feels extremely sad that it happened.

RoshanThe New Year revelry turned into a nightmare for several women who were allegedly molested despite huge police presence at a large gathering on December 31 at Bengaluru's downtown region, sparking widespread outrage.

Hrithik said everyone in the society should take responsibility of what happened and do something about it. "It is sad. We all bear a responsibility and we all must do something about that," he said.

"I feel very strongly, as a father, as a member of the society, that if something like this is happening in an environment so close to me, then I definitely must be impacted, must be affected and I must do something about it," he said.

The actor was speaking at the launch of song 'Mon Amour' from his upcoming film 'Kaabil'. Several Bollywood actors, including Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar have also come out strongly against the Bengaluru incident and condemned it.

On late December 31 night, several women were molested and groped and lewd remarks passed by miscreants on M G Road and Brigade Road in Bengaluru, despite the presence of 1,500 police personnel to control the unruly New Year revellers.

The incident drew flak from many quarters even as Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara stoked a controversy by blaming the youngsters' 'western ways' for the incidents. His remarks came in for flak even as the National Commission for Women chairperson Lalitha Kumaramangalam flayed the minister, demanding his resignation.

Shame on 1500 cops. It is the duty of the cops to protect and safeguard women. My Dear Indian sisters, I am really saddened with this incident. I only pray that God give all of you strength to hold your head up and walk. My sincere request to all Indian sisters is to rise up and learn self defence so that you will be strong and bold to face these shameless atrocities. I also request the Government to start free self defence classes for girls and women in the country. Jai Hind!

Washington, Jun 13: American actor Gwyneth Paltrow is opening up about her experience during the coronavirus quarantine.

According to Fox News, the 47-year-old star explained to Shape magazine, the July-August cover issue of which she has graced -- that she hadn't realised just "how much the normal pace of life was overburdening our bodies, our minds, and our nervous systems."

The Goop founder explained, "As we have been forced into the confines of our own homes, that has brought up a lot of emotional distress for some, and for others, it has been very peaceful. In my case, I have experienced both."

The 'Iron Man' actor said that she has now started to "settle down" in her "brain and body."

She added of the lockdown, "It has given me new perspective about how much I will take on going forward."

Paltrow noted that before the quarantine, she was always trying to get "wellness moments" in, but she wasn't "really decompressing" until the weekends or on vacations.

"Now I feel different, letting my body go to sleep and wake up in its natural rhythm, having my kids around all the time, eating meals together and having meaningful conversations," she said of her children,16-year-old daughter Apple, and 14-year-old son Moses, whom she shares with ex Chris Martin.

Paltrow noted, "We linger at the table; our dinners are an hour and a half long. My heart feels fuller, and my mind feels calmer in that respect."

For how she de-stresses, the 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' actor said, "I try to do exercises every day for my back and neck because of all the Zoom calls I'm on."

In addition, Paltrow says she and her husband Brad Falchuk go for walks at least three to four times per week. She also takes online fitness and yoga classes.
