5 fitness lessons you need to learn from Priyanka Chopra | Vogue India

Priyanka Chopra's approach to working out is as real as it gets—the actor doesn't love sweating it out at the gym, but does it to keep herself healthy, fit and agile. As she tries different workouts to find one she really likes (swimming and skipping are her current favourites), here's what you can learn from her fitness routines now.

The actor has always had a lukewarm approach to working out, preferring to get in when she really needs to, like before an important shoot or for a particular role. "Honestly, I work out only when I need to. My body responds very quickly to exercise, so I don't need too long to tone up and get into shape," she told Vogue India. "I want to hit the gym but I work 15-hour days and I'm exhausted by the end of it," she confirmed. "I have to stay super active and agile because I do my own stunts. I do all my fights myself. I trust my body and my instincts," she confirmed in an interview too.

When she does workout, Chopra does it to stay balanced and healthy. "The idea is to keep fit and healthy and not shrink myself by two or three sizes," she shared about her exercise routine, which mostly involves yoga or resistance training . "I find that trend amongst celebrities disturbing, since a lot of kids and teenagers strive to attain our kind of figures, but without proper guidance," she shared, confirming that she doesn't want to perpetuate a specific kind of body type through her social media and communications.

For Chopra, her usual gym regimen involves cardio and resistance training (squats are a common addition to her repertoire). But she likes swimming too. "I also love swimming, it's a full-body workout and I'll try to do 10 laps continuously," she shared in an interview. Swimming builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness , making it a low-impact but high-intensity practice.

Nick Jonas Reveals Priyanka Chopra Inspired His New Album | PEOPLE.com

Nick Jonas explained that he "dug" into writing new music while his wife was away filming The Matrix 4

On Tuesday, the 28-year-old singer appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , and opened up about his new single, "Spaceman," and the upcoming album of the same name. When asked what inspired his new solo project, Jonas admitted that "missing" his wife Priyanka Chopra Jonas while she was away amid the COVID-19 pandemic helped enhance his new music.

"I sort of started writing this record back in July. My wife was over in Germany finishing up this little movie called  The Matrix ," Jonas told host Jimmy Fallon. "And I was like, 'You know, I feel very disconnected from the world, first of all, and now my person.' And I just dug in writing ... within a couple of days I was like 'Oh, this is a solo album.' And a few days later I was like, 'This is a kind of themed album.'"

The Voice coach went on to explain that his new music touches on the themes of isolation and loneliness — feelings many people around the world have faced during the ongoing pandemic this past year.

"Giving this idea that we've all had this year now... but this year of being disconnected from reality, disconnected from the world, feeling like we're on our own planet and obviously missing [Chopra Jonas] at that time as well," he added. "And reconnecting with her and then the main theme from this album, more than anything, is just about hopefulness for the future and seeing a brighter day ahead."

During a recent conversation with  Apple Music's Zane Lowe , Jonas said that much of his new album is dedicated to his wife, 38, who stars in the upcoming Matrix 4 film.

"She loves it. Most of the songs are pretty much just love letters, which when I can't articulate the way I feel with my words with no music, I go to the studio," he said. "And I'm grateful to have that because it makes her happy, and that's most important."

...

"I think the key for me was trying to find a way to give this idea a persona, give it a name. So 'Spaceman' came into my mind because I was thinking, 'What's the one thing that all of us have felt during this time?' It's just completely disconnected from the world," the Jonas Brothers band member said.

Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and more: Check out how celebs played Holi in the pre-COVID-19 era

Holi hai! India is celebrating the festival of colours today. While many of us would be stepping out today to play with water and gulaal , let us not forget the coronavirus pandemic is not over yet. With the rising number of cases, the government has taken the necessary steps and has also imposed restrictions on celebrations. That being said, Holi festivities are likely to be low-key this year. 

The celebration of festivals was not the same this time around last year. Holi 2020 was like any other memorable Indian fest wherein people stepped out of their houses, carefree, without masks and enjoyed the day in its true-blue spirits. 

Remember how you went to Holi parties without thinking twice to sanitize your hands or maintain social distancing? It won't be wrong to call it a pre-COVID-19 era. 

And as we gear up to celebrate Holi, take a look at how your favourite Bollywood celebs played Holi last year. Take a look...

...

Bollywood's favourite star-kids Taimur Ali Khan and Inaaya Naumi Kemmu celebrated Holi together. This year will call for a double celebration as elder brother Taimur will ring in the festival with his newborn baby brother. 

Kartik Aaryan called himself a "shy guy" and celebrated Holi on the sets of his upcoming film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. 

Shilpa Shetty Kundra posted a fun Tik Tok video and shook her leg on the popular Holi song Rang Barse Bheege . 

"Happy Holi everyone!! Not celebrating my favorite festival this year, because its more important to be safe! Hope you all have a safe and sound holi too," wrote Sonakshi Sinha as she shared a colourful selfie. 




Priyanka Chopra Jonas Is Opening An Indian Restaurant in NYC - Eater NY

Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas is adding restaurateur to her ever-expanding resume. The global superstar is set to open Sona, a new Indian restaurant at 36 East 20th Street, between Park Avenue South and Broadway, later this month.

Chopra Jonas made the announcement about the restaurant in an Instagram post over the weekend. "I'm thrilled to present to you SONA, a new restaurant in NYC that I poured my love for Indian food into," Chopra Jonas wrote on Instagram "SONA is the very embodiment of timeless India and the flavours I grew up with."

Renowned Indian chef Hari Nayak, who operates several restaurants in the U.S., the Middle East, and India, and is also the culinary director of Indian ready-to-eat packaged meals brand Cafe Spice, will lead the kitchen here, according to Chopra Jonas's social media reveal. In his own Instagram post from the weekend, Nayak noted that he's dreamed of opening a restaurant in the city for more than two decades but that "It had to be the right opportunity, the right time and the right team — united by the same vision of showcasing my beloved India in all its timelessness yet warmly embracing modernity in flavor and cuisine."

The restaurant will open at 35 percent capacity indoors and will have outdoor seating as well, but the exact number of seats hasn't been disclosed yet. The opening date is also yet to be announced but Goyal anticipates an opening "in the next few weeks."

This is first restaurant project for Chopra Jonas, who most recently starred and produced Netflix's acclaimed drama film, The White Tiger , based on the Man Booker Prize-winning novel by author Aravind Adiga. In addition to her acting and producing career, Chopra Jonas also released a memoir last month, titled Unfinished , which reached the New York Times bestseller list that month.

As for Nayak, New Yorkers may be most familiar with his restaurant Soul Curry, in Hoboken, New Jersey, in addition to the Cafe Spice prepared meals, which are available in several large grocery stores. He also owns Tandur Indian Kitchen in Knoxville, Tennessee, in addition to a half dozen other restaurants in the Middle East and India.

Sona takes over the space previously occupied by trendy Italian chain Il Mulino's casual offshoot Il Mulino Trattoria .
