“Everything is ordered. I have to keep the closet doors closed, and I have the little jobs that I work really hard to do… I get it now, I get it. [The kids are] on a very strict schedule. You know, it's like breakfast: 7:30.

“He's good at keeping it. But we've learned to keep our marriage alive, I have a 15-minute wiggle room.”

Jennifer cited having attention deficit disorder (ADD) as to why she struggles with tight timing.She said: “I think I should go to, like, occupational therapy for that.” Jennifer Lawrence: I identify as a stay-at-home mom | MorungExpress | morungexpress.com

(Photo: Ananya Panday/Instagram)

Mumbai, (IANS) Bollywood actress Ananya Panday has revealed that Italy had a huge impact on her style and that she came back wanting to experiment more, trust her instincts, and not shy away from bold silhouettes.

Asked what’s one travel destination that had a big impact on your style and why, Ananya told IANS: “I’d say Italy! Being in one of the world’s fashion capitals was incredibly inspiring - the energy, the style, the way people carried themselves with such ease and confidence. I came back wanting to experiment more, trust my instincts, and not shy away from bold silhouettes or unexpected pairings.”

Ananya said that the trip didn’t just refresh her wardrobe; it reshaped how she expresses herself.

“Even now, I revisit those memories when I need a creative spark - they’ve earned a permanent place on my mood board and in my mindset,” said Ananya.

Revealing her go-to style and beauty hacks when she’s on the move or traveling for shoots and holidays, Ananya said that she wants to be comfortable yet still be “put together.”

“When I’m traveling, whether it’s for work or a getaway, I want to feel comfortable but still put together,” said Ananya, who has hosted Airbnb’s Original experience.

“I always pack versatile basics that I can mix and match: a great pair of denims, oversized shirts, statement accessories, and a blazer that works for both day and night. On travel days, comfort is key, so you’ll find me in sweatpants and sneakers, especially while taking a long flight, settling into a cozy Airbnb or exploring a new city.”

Beauty wise, shared a secret.

“Beauty-wise, a dewy skin tint, mascara, and a lip and cheek tint go a long way. I also swear by a hydrating mist, a good SPF, and under-eye patches for early call times. Oh, and dry shampoo is a must. It’s a game changer,” she said.

Talking about her collaboration with Airbnb and hosting this first-of-its-kind fashion experience, Ananya said that fashion has always been a “powerful form of self-expression for me, whether it’s trying out new styles, putting together a look that feels bold, or simply wearing something that makes me feel confident.”

So, curating a fashion-focused experience felt like a natural extension of who she is, explained Ananya.“I’ve always enjoyed meeting new people and sharing stories, and this felt like a meaningful way to open up my world and connect with others. What made it even more special was the opportunity to host it through Airbnb. With Airbnb Experiences, it’s not just about visiting a place, it’s about truly engaging with it through the people who know it best.” Ananya on how Italy had a big impact on her style: Came back wanting to experiment more | MorungExpress | morungexpress.com

Madhuri Dixit's husband Dr Nene reveals the main reasons relationships fall apart more often these days


Mumbai, (IANS) Madhuri Dixit’s husband, Dr. Sriram Nene, has opened up about the challenges relationships face in today's world.

In a recent social media post, he revealed the key factors contributing to the growing frequency of relationship breakdowns, offering insightful perspectives on the complexities of modern relationships. Dr. Nene shared that one of the biggest reasons relationships fail today is the lack of investment.

In the caption of the post, he explained, “In my experience, one of the biggest reasons relationships fail is because we stop investing in them. It’s easy to get caught up in life and forget that relationships need time, effort, and real presence. They don’t grow on autopilot—you’ve got to show up, listen, and understand what the other person truly needs. I’ve learned that the strongest connections are built through small, consistent actions. So give your time, put in the effort, and keep choosing each other—every single day.”

In the video, Nene could be heard saying, “We don’t invest in relationships. I have found that whether it is with the children, with your pets, with your family members, or with your spouse. The main thing is you have to take the time to develop a relationship to understand what each person’s needs are. And you have to give in order to get. So, the idea is to invest in time as well as in effort to make a relationship work.”

Notably, Dr. Sriram Nene, cardiothoracic surgeon, regularly shares insightful and informative videos on various health and wellness topics, offering his expertise to his followers. He also gives them a glimpse into his personal life, sharing moments from his daily routine and family life on Instagram, allowing fans to connect with him on a more personal level.

Madhuri Dixit tied the knot with Shriram Nene on October 17, 1999, in a traditional wedding ceremony held in Southern California, at the home of her elder brother. The couple are proud parents to two sons, Arin and Ryan.

For the unversed, Madhuri and Nene’s love story began with an attempt at matchmaking by Madhuri's brother, Ajit Dixit. Although initially reluctant, Madhuri was intrigued when she met Shriram at a party and was pleasantly surprised by his unfamiliarity with her fame.After living in the US for several years, the couple eventually made their way back to India.

Twinkle Khanna reveals her ultimate Parisian indulgence


Mumbai, (IANS) Actress turned author Twinkle Khanna shared her ultimate Parisian indulgence with fans, revealing that for her, nothing beats the joy of eating macarons.

In a candid post, she invited her followers to share their own indulgences, giving a delightful glimpse into her love for this French treat. On Thursday, the Mela actress took to her Instagram handle and gave a glimpse into her Parisian getaway, sharing her love for the City of Lights. The actress traveled with her kids on the Eurostar, noting that Paris offers something for everyone, from the artistic to the adventurous.

The actress also highlighted her indulgence in Parisian dining, where she enjoyed sushi so divine that it made her forget the city's traditional culinary offerings. However, when it comes to Twinkle Khanna’s ultimate Parisian indulgence, it's undoubtedly macarons. A sweet delight she savors while fully embracing the vibrant energy and charm of Paris.

Sharing photos, the ‘Barsaat’ actress wrote, “The kids got onto the Eurostar with me because there is something for everyone to do in Paris! The rooms come with a guitar incase you feel like serenading your partner or even the housekeeping staff:) Bonus points if you have a child who plays! Early evenings I went to @lebarlong to write a bit. A perfect spot to ponder great literary ghosts (and whether you should order another martini). The art was as dazzling as the decor and as for my favourite @matsuhisaparis let’s just say the food is so divine, you’ll forgive yourself for eating sushi in Paris. What’s your ultimate Parisian indulgence? Mine is clearly eating macarons.”

Twinkle Khanna, the wife of Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar and the daughter of the legendary Rajesh Khanna, made a name for herself in the film industry during the 90s and early 2000s. After the failure of her ambitious film Mela, she chose to marry Akshay and transition into a new phase of her life.Years later, she found her true calling as a writer, penning several successful books such as “Mrs Funnybones” and “Pyjamas are Forgiving,” which garnered widespread acclaim for her witty and insightful writing.
