Indian handlooms sarees are such a treasure to own! The artistry involved, their uniqueness, and the efforts invested make each piece so incredibly special. Our culture & heritage are so richly woven into them that owning & wearing one makes you feel extremely special. Sharing a glimpse of one of my all-time favourite sarees with you. It looks & feels so regal & elegant, but is light as a feather & so easy to handle. On National Handloom Day today, I salute all the weavers who make hand woven garments look so effortless. I am #VocalForHandmade, are you? ❤️

Today and this moment is sooo special for us all, as Viaan-Raj and Samisha celebrate their first Rakhshabandhan .🌈🧿
They say, ‘our siblings are our first best friends’, right here is the beginning of a ‘forever’ kinda friendship❤️😍🧿 Viaan-Raj has always wanted and prayed for a lil sister – and his dream and ours has come true,making today extra special. I’m glad that they will always have each other to fall back on… someone to love unconditionally, talk to , crib about, yet be fiercely protective 🧿✨😍😂
Tell your sibling today, how much you love them; and if they’re around you, don’t forget to give them a tight hug! 🤗
Happy Raksha Bandhan to my instafam❤️🌈🤝🙌🏼

One moment they are so tiny, your arms seem too big for them… you blink and they’ve outgrown it! As our little angel 🧿Samisha🧿 turns 6 months old today😍 🥳she’s started turning onto her tummy… signs of being ‘independent’ already😅 Soon, she’ll be sitting up, crawling, and then… my workouts will mainly comprise of running behind her 😂😂 We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it, but for now, I’m loving this time with her. Watching her grow, crossing new milestones every day is a complete blessing and I’m not complaining one bit.
Happy 1/2 birthday, our Angel ❤️🧿❤️

It’s that time of the year and we’re all geared up to welcome Bappa into our homes this week🙏🏻 So, our recipe had to be something unique, sweet, and healthy. The Besan Coconut Barfi fits the bill perfectly! The celebrations all around us are subdued and sober in these times, but for everyone who wants to do something special while at home, do try out this recipe. It has no refined sugar and tastes just as good😍You can also shape them into modaks, and if you want to make them vegan you can use peanut/coconut oil. They taste equally good😅 made a separate batch for @rajkundra9 who is vegan; he loved them.
If you have any special recipes to welcome Bappa, do share them in the comments below😊🙏🏻

One can lose balance in these unsettling times. There’s so much uncertainty in life at this point that we need to be able to center ourselves to function normally. Today, I chose to do the Eka Pada Malasana – ‘Mala’ means ‘Waste Removal’. It is a challenging pose, for which one first needs to align their mind and body. You will need to stay calm and composed removing all the unwanted (waste) thoughts from your mind, to achieve the correct posture. What I love about this asana is that it truly helps improve balance and focus. It also works on strengthening the quadriceps, hip flexors, and core. Now, I am all set for whatever the day has to offer. How are you starting your day? 💪🏼🧘🏻♀️

There’s always that one person who knows and accepts you for who you are… unconditionally! That’s you, @akankshamalhotra. Thank you for indulging all my madness, miss my trips to Delhi… our looong conversations, you overfeeding me, working on our ‘Ikigai’, our passion for Yoga & fitness …and the unconditional love… is enough motivation for every day, to last me a lifetime ❤️
How symbolic is it! Just like these variations of Virbhadrasana help bring in focus, balance, and stability; you do the same when I need you to. On Friendship’s Day… or not… I DON’T celebrate the day… I celebrate YOU ❤️🤗🌈because ‘Sunday ho ya Monday, dosti ke hain simple se funde’ 😂🤣Love you my bestie 🌈🤗❤🧿

#HappyFriendshipDay #blessed #gratitude #FriendsLikeFamily #BFF
Our youth is spent in shaping us for the life ahead… education, career, friendships, relationships, heartbreaks, and so much more. All of this – more or less – is common to most of us. But, as the years go by, we unlearn some things and learn some more. Maturity and pragmatism takes over our vulnerability and trust.
Our experiences are unique to each one of us and they make us who we become eventually. I truly believe that our childhood & youth are given to us as tools, to shape our latter years purely through our own decisions & learnings. While it’s important to be practical & wise, it’s also crucial to have that zeal & enthusiasm intact within. To be curious about something new and look at the world with a glint of hope in your eyes… is what makes life beautiful. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul… For that, I’m really happy that my inner child is still alive 🌈❤️

The world around us is gradually opening up and we’re all gearing up to get ‘back’ to our lives. So, today’s workout was dedicated to strengthening the back muscles and enhancing the upper body strength. But, it’s always good to be safe than to be sorry. So, I tried the ‘assisted band pull-ups’ to ease into the flow. It helps you to gradually build your back muscles and further helps you achieve pull-ups without any other assistance. Additionally, it strengthens & tones the back muscles and improves form. I would suggest you to start slow and ensure professional supervision, if you’re doing this for the first time. Tag someone who should get started today 💪🏼

What you see is what you get with me, no masks… but the only time I wear one indoors is when I need to give my skin some love and nutrition. So, I tried the Vitamin C mask before going to bed and this is my ‘Mama skincare secret’ to waking up with a healthy glow! ☀️
@mamaearth.in’s Vitamin C night range nourishes my skin & leaves a vibrant glow on my face, waking me up with a refreshing radiance that gives me the perfect start to my day😍
Make Vitamin C a part of your skincare routine too, giving your skin the pampering it needs❤️

The best way to make peace with any situation is to gradually adapt to the changes. So, after a 5-month hiatus, I shot for something special, an act for Ganesh Chaturthi as a humble dedication to all our frontline warriors. I wanted to do something special in my own way for the ones who have been working relentlessly to help curb the situation and restore normalcy with their best foot forward.
So, all the necessary precautions were taken & all the guidelines met by the small team who made it happen. But, gotta say, I can’t even begin to express how overwhelming it was to get back to it all – felt surreal.
I sincerely hope & pray that our Vighnaharta, Lord Ganesh removes all the negativity, fear, and toxicity surrounding us.
Take care of yourself and your loved ones. We owe it to all the brave warriors, who have put their lives on line for us.

To our Roooooooo,
Ace #antakshari player, my brave soul with grit of a Kamakazi (not the shot😂)
You have braved a lot… and will continue to. Sending you more love & positivity, and want you to know that I will always love you. Happpiiiesssttt birthday to our Brat @rohiniyer. Can’t wait to give you a ‘real’ hug… till then a virtual one 🤗🧿
I know this has been a rough year, but… Ro Ro Ro your boat gently down the stream… merrily merrily… Life is just a dream ❤️🌈❤️
The monsoon showers have been consistent, and it calls for something that’s simple, quick, & filling. This Simple Chicken Curry recipe was shot much before the lockdown was announced (pre-shot 6 months ago!), while I have chosen to accept vegetarianism completely. I didn’t have the heart to waste this recipe… so before you jump to conclusions (I request you to not) all those who do eat and who subscribe to my channel… do try this simple dish at home, as it’s easy to make.
If you’re a vegetarian or don’t eat chicken, you could replace the chicken with soya chunks, potatoes, and peas.
If you have any better suggestions, please send it to us.
What would you replace chicken with? Any ideas🍽💡

Time flies… it truly does! Felt a rather strong wave of nostalgia when I came across this footage @lehrentv, took me back two decades. Cannot believe it’s time to celebrate #20YearsOfDhadkan❤️🙏🏻✨🌈 feels so weird to hear myself speak from 20 years ago😂😂
So many memories come to mind… the trendsetting outfits by @manishmalhotra05, the biting cold shooting in Interlaken (Switzerland) in those outfits😂🤣 My director, @dharmesh.darshan addressing me as Anjali on the sets😅 (never as Shilpa), this is undoubtedly one of the most special films and a huge milestone in my career. But, what I loved the most about the movie was its lilting music… timeless😍! Weirdly, even Akshay had said that this music is so melodious that it’ll work even in 2020. Honestly, I can’t believe that I’m still a part of this milieu celebrating this movie, it’s been such an incredible journey. Thank you to my audiences for making this one such a memorable experience… @jainrtn, @venusmovies, @dharmesh.darshan, @suniel.shetty, @akshaykumar, #SharmilaTagore ji, @mahimachaudhry1, @iamparmeetsethi, #KiranKumar ji, #SushmaSeth ji, @anjanamumtaz ji, #ManjeetKullar

The story of the bridge built over River Choluteca is fascinating… how it was one of the strongest bridges built in Honduras, but a hurricane shifted the course of the river it was built over, still remaining firmly in its place. This story is so thought-provoking, demonstrating the principles of survival in this day and age very accurately and showcasing how unpredictable life can be!
Change is inevitable… While change is the only thing that’s constant, it’s also something that can never be measured. So, always aim to train & prepare yourself such that adapting to evolving times & updated situations become easier to adjust to. Don’t allow redundancy to become a part of your life. Get with the times and be prepared for whatever it is that comes your way. It’s the only way to ‘go with the FLOW’ without becoming a part of the herd.
Tag a friend who has been having a tough time dealing with change. Give them a reason to smile today😊
