I know what soldiers or their families go through: Anushka

December 7, 2016

New Delhi, Dec 7: Actress Anushka Sharma says she understands the emotional moments a soldier's family go through as her father fought for the country during the Kargil war. Referring to the controversy surrounding her last release "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil", the 28-year-old actress said those fighting on the border are least concerned about release of a film featuring a Pakistani actor as it hardly makes any difference to the actual situation.

Anushka 2"I will share a personal experience, my father was posted in Jammu & Kashmir during the Kargil war. I remember my mom sitting in front of television throughout the day reading tickers which had name of the martyrs. I know what soldiers or their families go through. "During the whole 'Ae Dil...' controversy I could understand the sentiment of the people, but I knew the person, who is fighting on the border, is least affected by the release of a film. The soldiers are dealing with an actual issue and release of a movie is negligible in front of that," she told a session at Agenda Aaj Tak here.

The "Sultan" star said people should raise these issues only if they are capable of making a significant difference to the 'situation'. "Being a soldiers daughter I understand that what they are doing is the real deal. But me giving statement on the issue is of no significance. "I find it really cheap when people talk about an issue just for the sake of talking and are not making any difference to the actual situation," she added.

Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena staged high-voltage protests against the release of Karan Johar's directorial venture featuring Fawad Khan. The party vociferously demanded a ban on Pakistani actors and artistes in the Indian film industry after the Uri terror attack, which claimed the lives of 19 soldiers. However, the protest was called off after Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis mediated talks between the MNS chief and the filmmakers. Also starring Ranbir Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the film crossed the Rs 100 mark within a week of its worldwide opening.

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.
