Relationships sometimes require compromise, and sometimes one partner tends to do a little more than the other. And such is the case with Bollywood power couple Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Kapoor admitted on Nikhil Kamath's YouTube podcast People by WTF that Bhatt had ‘changed’ more for his sake than he had done for hers. “She used to speak in a very loud tone. I think my father's tone, growing up, always rattled me. So she really made efforts to change that. And that's not easy when you've lived 30 years of your life speaking in a certain way. She's someone who instinctively reacts to say if Raha falls down. There's a reaction that throws me off. She [does] certain things to put me at ease. I hope I could say there's something I did to put her at ease, but I don't think I've done it yet,” he confessed. The Animal actor did, however, call Bhatt his best friend. He was quoted as saying by Indian Express, “I am lucky to have married someone who I am ...

I was going through old videos and deleting them, and I realized this was it. It’s my thing. I like to have my music on. And when I can’t resist ( which is quite often) I have to get up and dance. Even on days when my heart is breaking or I'm feeling sad.. a song can take me somewhere else. Make me happy for that moment. “Sometimes my make-up artist, my friends, my husband.. they might find it sweet or funny and record me.. sometimes, it’s so normal they don’t care ( like Seher [Ahsan Hafeez] in this video, no actually that’s just Seher ).. but they all...

 Born in Iran and raised in Switzerland, Lara Wolf had always been an introvert. As a child, she saw an opportunity to participate in a school play and latched onto it. “I was very shy,” Lara recalled. “I was always a little bit scared of people being in a social situation. Then I had this experience like maybe when I was six or seven in a school play where for some reason, a voice inside me told me, just do it!” she added. Once Wolf was on stage, she saw her fears disappear. “They just melted off me,” she said. Despite her shyness, being on stage felt less intimidating because Wolf's job was expressing emotions. Nothing felt forced. “It felt so good. It felt safe to me.” She added. That play alone eventually became a turning point, forever changing the trajectory of her personal and professional life. Despite knowing that acting was her future muse, Wolf planned to become a therapist. Her Persian mother wanted her to secure a solid career before embarking on a journey that felt s...
