Had a long session with the students at #LadyShriramCollege Warm, intelligent, feisty, curious, funny women. The world is in good hands! @gurmeharrr (front and centre) what a wonderful place to study!
On this day I thought I’d post this fantastic piece of history. The first Independence Day Parade, 1948, led by my grandfather, Lt Gen SPP Thorat with Pandit Nehru. My grandfather was then Major General. #anothertimesamespace #springofhope #anationisborn
And look who I bumped into at Delhi airport. She looks the same : 1000 watt smile, massive warmth. Salaam, Mira. #starpower #irresisitibleforce #energyofasmallnation
Always love #thefirstdayofshooting in a new film (title to be revealed later – you know how it is). Not so much the waiting although I took a fantastic, #onceinabluemoon afternoon snooze in what will be my alternative home for the next few weeks. #makeupvan #vanityvan #artisttrailer call it what you will. They are our de facto #secondhomes What are yours?
Did a Q and A after a screening of #Poorna at one of my favourite festivals in the country. With one of my favourite people, festival coordinator @nicolemody @htkgafest #KalaGhodaArtsFestival #everythingthatsgoodaboutthiscity #touristdistrict #oxygenforthesenses
With Naya from #JBPetit and Zain from #CathedralSchool on the #DreamRun @tatamummarathon Was v impressed with the way all the children ran. There’s a National level runner somewhere amongst all of them. Thank you, kids, for a glorious morning. @HEAL_01 #childrenasphilanthropists #preventionofchildsexualabuse #bighearts #biglungs @procamrunning
Starting a new film day after tomorrow. All secret and under wraps, but here’s a look at some friends who are in it with me. Question : given what I look like in the film, any guesses who/what I play? #apairofmustachios #moviember @gulshangrover @ronitboseroy @rajeev.khandelwal
Have not heard of these awards before this year, but am thrilled Aditi is getting the recognition her performance deserves. As for the other Special Jury Mention, it goes to the entire team. Anybody who’s made a film will agree. My congratulations to all the winners. #Poorna #SpecialJuryMentions #awardsfeelwonderful #ittakesateamtomakeamovie #nicewaytostarttheyear

Time for #touchrugby ! I am in my blue India jersey (my teammates are in orange) In Bhubaneshwar on the KISS campus. 27,000 tribal kids. Rugby is a huge sport here. Till now atleast 20 tribal boys and girls have played for India – men’s, women’s , under 19, under 17, boys, girls, the works. Such an inspirational story of social transformation through sport. #sport #thewayupandout #acountryfullofstories #successthroughsport
Proud to be the #brandambassador of this run. It’s on Feb 18. Come! It’s the prettiest run you’ll ever compete in! #AndamansMarathon #PortBlair #sea #hills #blueskies #natureglamour
Fascinating architectural walk conducted by Iftehar and organised by #FicciFlo (the ladies’ arm of FICCI) across Calcutta. Here we learn more about #WritersBuilding and #BBDBagh #heritagewalk #wintermorning #cityawakes #uncoveringlayers #colonialpast #stonesspeakvolumes
Walking through my childhood with one of my favourite people in the world, my uncle, Dr Yashwant Thorat. #kolhapur #sugarcanefields #walkingwithlovedones #nostalgia #inthefootstepsofchildhood
Historic moment for us! At the start of today’s @tatamummarathon with students from #CathedralSchool and #JBPetit who raised money for @HEAL_01 my foundation dedicated to the eradication of #childsexualabuse. Will post videos from the run and the kids’ reactions at the end! @procamrunning
If you have to learn a new sport you might as well do it at 6200 ft under cold, clear skies with a wonderful pro (Ravi). And no one watching. #itmaybetoolatebutwhocares #playlikenooneswatching
Staying @TridentBhub in #Bhubaneshwar Spending two days talking, playing rugby and visiting the students @KISS Thank you for the wonderful stay. @kissfoundation
Just the kind of place you want to go to for dinner on your last night in Goa. In Moira. Highly recommended. #7Short1Long #restaurant #food #ambience #weather #perfectevenings
At the start line 7 min before the flag off of the #DreamRun @tatamummarathon Asking our champion fundraisers from #CathedralSchool how they feel. #theveryfirsttime #unforgettable #runtomaketheworldabetterplace #mumbai @HEAL_01 #prevention #childsexualabuse
One of my favourite spots on the planet. With one of my favourite people – only one of the greatest living writers in the English language. #SeaOfGoa #SeaOfPoppies #AmitavGhosh #morjim #laplage #annualpilgrimage
Must have done this hike over 200 times. Never as beautiful as in January. #himalayas #nevertire #january #coldestmonth #besttimeofyear
Then I played with the KISS girls, three of whom are India players. My team’s in orange while I stick to India Blue. #KISS #KalingaInstituteOfSocialSciences #Bhubaneshwar #touchrugby #tribalschool #tribalteam #sport #thebestwayupandout
Recorded this two days ago. Thought it’s only fair to let you know how my favourite workout companion has maintained his high level of intensity. (Check the ear wiggle for timing) For consistency and commitment, he stands alone. #badshahtales #friendswhoworkouttogetherstaytogether #breathingisthenewcardio
I don’t know if this is the effect of a #supermoon #bloodmoon or a #bluemoon or just my imagination, but I’ve never seen the mountains awash in such radiant moonlight.
Come and support this wonderful initiative at the St Andrews Turf in Bandra on the 11th and 18th of February! @mandanakarimi – best of luck for this and keep up the good work!
