When asked about being targeted by the Congress for "hosting" the event, Bachchan said, "I said what I had to, I think media has carried it as well. I have been invited to host a small segment for the programme. I am attached to a campaign called 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao', that is the segment I am hosting. The actual show is hosted by Madhavan I am not hosting the show.

"I am just hosting a small segment that is along with something else that I am doing for the United Nations. I am United Nations ambassador for Girl Child mission. So I will be talking about that," the actor said.

A row had earlier erupted over Bachchan's participation in the second anniversary celebrations of NDA government with Congress targeting him and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the light of the megastar's name figuring in Panama Papers expose.

When asked how he deals with criticism, Bachchan said, "I think no person is perfect. Aur mein inn logo ka swagat karta hoon. I think everybody has the right to express themselves. Social media has given everyone the opportunity to have a voice to be heard not just by himself but millions of people. I think it is wonderful."

"Jo nakaratmak baatein karte hai main unka swagat karta hoon. Kyunki kai baar jo woh bolte hai woh sunna chahiye, as we are not perfect human being, hum sab mein khamiya hai. I never block or delete these people," the 73-year-old actor said.

The "Piku" star says he tries to tell people not to use abusive language.

"But those who abusive language I tell them there was no need to use this kind of language. If they improve, good, if not, then (I do) not listen to it. Ek maa kala tika lagati hai bache pe nazar utarne ke liye main inn sabko apna nazar batu samajhta hoon," he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and most of his ministerial colleague are expected to attend the event at India Gate tomorrow, where Amitabh will also host a small segment of the programme, to mark the government's second anniversary.

The government is organising the event-- 'Zara Muskura Do' (Smile Please)-- which will have several performances and programmes highlighting its "achievements".

The show will be beamed across the country by Doordarshan

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.
