Life brings me
to my knees,
and so I sit
and I listen.
I cry,
and I smile.
Because there is so much beauty
it’s hard to look sometimes
So all consuming, it’s terrifying.
Stay open, stay open –
I remind myself.
Stay here, now.

The week:
Moving is exhausting and cathartic.
Getting to see you and look at how far we have come makes my heart so happy. This girl on set actually said the words ‘no, I’m not going to go deep today’ which just reminded me how much I love to swim in the deep end; in conversation, in love, in learning, in work, in training. The shallow is great to acclimatise, stick a toe in check the temp- but jump right in – into the thick of it, that’s the juice, that’s what I want. Not here to nibble at life, to cut off the crusts, no – here for all the tender meaty bits, the parts that get too tough to digest as well, ALL OF IT. We get just the one life, do you really want to wait for tomorrow? ♥️

“Having been a part of the industry since I was 18-years-old, I am familiar with the pressure to look like a ‘filtered photograph’… But, I don’t think about fitting in,” reveals actor Bani J (@banij)
⠀
“I have always stuck to my instincts and followed my heart—be it getting tattoos or lifting weights. People couldn’t accept that and I faced rejection at an early stage in my career, but I continued doing what made me happy, because, in accepting myself, other people had no choice but to accept me as well.”
Read Bani J’s full interview in the September-October issue of Cosmo India, out now.

I hope y’all having the best times w/ those you love over the Diwali weekend 🪔 🫶🏻

I remember I called you during the lunch break and you did that thing – where, I don’t know why but you ignore how much you like that you’re looking at someone’s face – ( I never understand that) you’ll see me smiling ear to ear looking at your face, an absolute idiot.. thinking to myself, ‘Here I go again..’.

December 2022.
Overwhelmed and doing too much.
Humbled by the momentum of life and thankful for the precious moments and the few people around me who make all this, worthwhile.
In the end, we all back to ground zero anyway – keeping that in mind for perspective always, while doing what we love with those we love the best we can 🙌🏼🌹♥️

Have you ever been caught in a web of rumours, whispers and all the ‘log kya kahenge’ comments? Those always come and go, but something like HPV might stick around.
@therajakumari, @sayanigupta and I along with @msdindia.official are here to break some taboos and spread the word on what really matters.
That you #DontGetCaughtByHPV. HPV (Human Papillomavirus) is a very common viral infection of the reproductive tract and is the main driver of almost all cervical cancers. Almost all sexually active people may get infected by HPV atleast once in their lifetime.
Take control of your your sexual health, regardless of what others will think or say.
At the end of the day, your health should be your priority.
Visit letsfighthpv.com to learn more about HPV and talk to the experts about HPV prevention, for free.
