Watching the sun go down and seeing the sky turn into a crimson canvas makes me so happy. Gives me a sense of peace and hope… reminding me that it’s important to slow down and take some time off every day to notice & enjoy the small li’l joys…
Photo credit: Moment captured by my 8-yr old son, Viaan-Raj 😅❤️ Priceless! Hence, wanted to share it with you😍
Do you have a favourite ‘time of the day’ when you just sit peacefully with your thoughts for company?❤️

I believe, more than being religious, I’m spiritually inclined. My Guru, My Sai, shows me the way and direction…
When you have Faith, or follow a guru, you must do so implicitly and have belief in his vision… whether it’s a living Guru or God/Universe. Faith is the bedrock of success or satisfaction. This Guru Purnima, look inward and keep unwavering faith, that it’s all happening for the best… and only the BEST will unfold ❤️🧿🌈
As Sai says, Shraddha aur Saboori (Faith and Patience)
Happy Gurupurnima to all.❤️🙏😇
With Gratitude,
SSK🙏🏻

We’re living in times where we now realise the importance of lifting each other up instead of pulling someone down. We are gradually acknowledging the truth that tomorrow isn’t guaranteed to any of us. So, all we have is ‘today’… and we have each other. Let’s join forces together and make each day better for everyone around us. Support our women tribe through the worst times, lend a helping hand (if possible) when you see another woman juggling too many things, and appreciate the efforts one has put in even if they didn’t succeed. We’re all in this together.
“Uplift, don’t belittle”❤️💪🏼🤗🧿

Thank you, @kanikasanger, for making me a part of this wonderful tribe that personifies #strength.

There’s so much on social media that is shared purely as a façade to cover the lives we lead. The hardships, the struggles, the low days, the heartbreaks, insecurities, and so much more is easily concealed behind a mask of filters… one that we’ve been wearing since time immemorial. Always remember, like we don’t put our difficulties on display on social media, neither do other people. Nobody’s life is perfect. Most are dealing with their own issues.. So, don’t let social media trick you into believing all that you see, and don’t allow it to play with your mind & emotions. Life isn’t a bed of roses for any of us, but we’re all in this together. Let’s try & make this medium a positive one with constructive criticism and care, to make us a healthier community, less negative & more positive ‘grams’ on this ‘gram’…
Stay strong, my instafam, let’s make a happy & healthy community, and reassure ourselves with that… This too shall pass ❤️🤗🌈
Swasth Raho, Mast Raho!

Ahh! My ultimate dream, to grow my own, but for now… I have something to share.
Since I’ve shared many milestones here, this is something… that’s a very personal choice, a hard decision for me; seemed impossible at one time, but it felt like a ‘calling’ of sorts.
The shift happened gradually and NOW, I have accepted “vegetarianism” completely. Primarily, because I wanted to reduce my carbon footprint in the environment. Over the years, I’ve realised that cultivating livestock for food, has not only destroyed forests but also been the largest sources of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous-oxide emissions. These are majorly responsible for the climate change our planet is experiencing.
Also, following a vegetarian diet is not only beneficial for animals, but also can actually protect us from heart disease, diabetes, obesity, can improve & also reverse cardiovascular health, and some major diseases. It’s the best change for OUR health and the health of the PLANET.
So, to give back to nature as best as I can, here’s a choice I’ve made for myself.
Given my roots (Mangalorean), our diet always comprised of certain elements, meals would often feel incomplete without fish/ chicken as they became habits, then becoming an addiction. But ever since I adopted Yoga as a way of life, I always felt incomplete. I needed to step up… 45 years into this journey of life, and I’ve finally made the switch.
In the past, being a hardcore non-vegetarian, even my YouTube channel has a lot of non-vegetarian recipes! I WON’T be deleting any of those, as they have been shot but going forward I WILL be focusing mainly on the vegetarian recipes.
You all are and have been my extended family & my well-wishers for so many years, hence keeping you posted, about this important step.
Every CHOICE has a CONSEQUENCE, make sure you make the right one 🙏
With Gratitude,
Shilpa Shetty Kundra ❤️🙏🏻🧿

It’s been 10 glorious years having partnered with @iosiswellness to take beauty and wellness across the country. Due to being over-committed with too much on my plate personally and professionally, I have decided to sell my stake and am happy to announce that my share in the business has been bought out by my partner, @kiranbawa76. I wish her all the best in taking this wonderful brand to greater heights. Would like to thank all our patrons, franchisees, and staff for their love & continued support 🙏❤️🌈
Extremely saddened by the news of Jagdeep ji’s demise😔💔I had the good fortune to share screen space with him in Rishtey, such wonderful comic timing, in his inimitable style and an even more wonderful human being ❤️ Heartfelt condolences to @meezaanj, @jaavedjaaferi, @navedjafri_boo, & the entire family🙏🏻
Sending love, prayers, & strength to cope with this difficult loss🙏🏻

Had to post this… Such a happy and positive soul Sivanand Baba is, he’s 123 years old. The idol we all need in our lives for wellness, sharing the best mantra for a happy life so beautifully; “With good thoughts, good deeds,no desire and more dedication you will find God in you and your life will be beautiful.” So true!🌈🌞🙏🏻
Being happy and content with what we have, making the most of the blessings bestowed upon us, and steering clear of greed & excessive desires can help us attain an unimaginable level of calm, peace, & happiness. Who better than this living example to enlighten us with such wisdom in this day and age? Attempting to be happy, more positive, and content with life is my mantra for today and every day, what’s yours? Tag someone who you think needs to see this today ❤️

This date, last year in London… I really think you all must try this routine once. It’s sooooo good and you can actually feel your core tighten for the next 2 days. I wanted to kill ‘Sally’ by the end of it, seemed like a never-ending song; and I’m sure @rajkundra9 felt the same way about @bencolemanfitness too😅😂🤣💪 But, it was totally worth it! Missing these travels… and the workout, more so!
How are you bringing in the new week?

Starting a new fitness routine or taking up a new activity is going to be painful for the first two weeks. The muscles will be sore, the body will hurt, changes in your sleep & dietary routines will be difficult to adapt to… and then some more. But trust me on this, it will be worth it! Every ache and pain that you endure in order to bring in some discipline into your life will pay off beautifully. It will help you stay fit and healthy, lose the excess fat, and lead a happier life. Endure the pain today, to see the gain tomorrow. Make this a mantra for life.
So, tag a friend who you think needs this today, and motivate them to get started.

Our bodies are getting rusty without the same movement, agility, and exercise we were accustomed to; before this pandemic hit us. Daily travels have drastically reduced for a majority of us, leaving us with very little physical activity. For me, carrying my 5-month baby is affecting my lower back… So, I’ve been practicing a combination of yoga asanas like Vyaghrasana, Marjariasana, and Utthana Vyaghrasana. This combination gives my body some much-needed stretches & flexes, strengthens my back, and stretches the abdominal muscles. It also improves mobility in the hips, relieves stiffness in the lower back, and improves the body’s balance.
Ah! A great way to start my day. How have you begun yours, tell me in the comments?

Same pose… just another day ❤️🧿❤️
There’s so much that we see changing every day. Professionally… personally… physically… emotionally…! But, even amid all these changes, we still crave for that one set of constant people in our lives who stand by us, encourage us, cheer the loudest, and make us feel special in times when we don’t value ourselves. Just want to say that I’m really grateful for my ‘OG constants’… @sunandashetty10 & @shamitashetty_official ❤️❤️ for being who you have been to me😍🤗🌈🧿 Love you both!❤️❤️

Looking at this poster gives me goose bumps… it’s surreal to have @sushantsinghrajput grace our screens… one last time in his inimitable style ❤️Such a dichotomy of emotions, happiness and pain…
To show Sushant some love, let’s come together tomorrow (from within our homes) and give him the loudest cheer on the premiere of his film ‘Dil Bechara’ on Disney+ Hotstar in India and on Hotstar in USA, UK, and Canada for Subscribers and Non-Subscribers at 7:30 PM (IST). I know I will be there with my family. I hope you do too.
This one’s for you, Sushant!❤️😘🌈🙏🏻

A big big hug to @castingchhabra… congratulations on your directorial debut🤗🤗 I know it’s a very special film for you and we’ll all be there!

Reading this beautiful book called: ‘Ikigai – the Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life’. It’s based on the (Japanese) concept of ‘#Ikigai’, which means “the reason to always keep busy”… to have a reason to wake up each morning.
Most of the content in the book got me thinking, but this quote by #FriedrichNietzsche really hit a nerve. We all need a reason and a purpose to do something in life… that one thing that really drives us. It is so crucial to be able to aptly identify and apply this ‘reason’ to our lives; for it is, sometimes, the only thing that will keep us going and see us through our toughest times. There may have been phases when we may have wanted to stop putting in any more effort, but one reminder of ‘WHY’ we did it in the first place is enough to bring us back on track. This ‘why’ is also the origin of a happy and long life. It gives you something to look forward to… a motive to live your lives by. Have you been able to identify your Ikigai?

This right here is a shining example of ‘when life gives you lemons, you make the best lemonade you’ve ever tasted’!
@kathybuckley_official’s story made me go through a gamut of emotions, laughing and crying in these few minutes. Kathy, we ‘hear’ you ❤️
From empathising with her to seeing her excel at life against all odds, reiterating that our lives are truly a result of our choices. How we ‘choose’ to live our lives, deal with our hardships, forgive/forget our hurtful past, and receive our present & future with open arms… is simply the power vested into our minds. Decide for yourself that you’ll make the best of your situation and nothing will ever have the power to break you. Let’s opt for smiles over complaints, choose solutions over conflicts, & enable positivity over negativity… and see how rewarding life becomes❤️💪🏼✨

It’s a tedious job to wake up every morning and decide the menu for the day. It has to be different, healthy, and filling – all at once. This week’s recipe fits the bill perfectly. The Oats Sattu Upma is loaded with essential nutrients, is extremely filling, and lip-smackingly tasty. You can add the veggies of your choice and a wholesome meal is ready in no time. Tell me your favourite and easy-to-cook recipes in the comments below, but don’t forget to try this one out.

There’s a spring in my step because my heart is so full of happiness… I’m #sunday ‘bingeing’ on all your love today❤️❤️
A BIGGG thank you to my 17 MILLION strong #InstaFam for being so awesome ❤️
1+7 = 8 and the no. 8 has always been lucky for me cause I’m a no. 8😍
They say the number ’17’ signifies that “you have chosen the right path in your life and you should just keep going on”. I couldn’t agree more! Your love, support, & faith has kept me going through everything in life; and I can’t tell you how much all of it means to me. Just want to say… I’m blessed to have received so much love from all of you and I pray this beautiful journey takes us to greater heights and successes together.
Thank you ever so much !😘
