illing boredom amid the nationwide lockdown due to the COVID-19 outbreak, celebrities are taking to social media and exploring their quirky sides. Actor Arjun Kapoor has channelled the “Yawny Bravo” in him.
Asked to consider a hypothetical situation as to which two people he would like to spend time with during the lockdown, Ali told IANS: “I would call up Joy Lobo from ‘3 Idiots’ and give him a hug. I think he needed it the most when he committed suicide in the film. He was under so much pressure and his creative idea was not heard. He wanted to express so much that he couldn’t and he screamed out the song ‘Give me some sunshine’ from a very dark emotional phase of his life as a young student. I just want to call him, hug him and say, ‘Bhai, load maat le, sab theek ho jayega,’ before he committees suicide.” Ali added: “As I am staying alone and doing all my household work right now -- jhadu-ponchha-bartan -- it is kind of boring for me. So I would also like to invite Zafar from ‘Fukrey’ and would ask him to play the guitar and recite poetry! I leant to cook yakhni pulaw, I can serve that!”
After transforming into a corn using a filter of a corn, Arjun took to Instagram Stories and shared a video where he constantly yawns. “They call me Yawny Bravo,” Arjun wrote by giving a funny twist to the cartoon character Johnny Bravo.
Ali Fazal The actor feels fortunate to have all the basics taken care of in this hour of pandemic crisis. “We have a balcony to stand and do several fun activities, whereas so many people are
homeless. Masla kuchh bhi ho, museebat mein to gareeb hi hai. Unke ghar ka chulha bandh hai. My heart goes out to them, really,” he said.
Soha Ali Khan: Lockdown has brought the family closer

ctress Soha Ali Khan says the lockdown has brought her closer to her family than ever. The actress asserts that she tries to do interesting activities with husband, actor Kunal Kemmu, and daughter Inaaya. Here’s how Soha Ali Khan is spending her time during the lockdown: Reading Reading has always been something I love doing and our busy lives makes it difficult to sit down and make time for it every day. The
lockdown has enabled us to stay indoors and focus on the activities that our busy schedules would not allow us to do. Reading is one of the things that I have included in my daily tasks; I dedicate at least one hour to reading as it helps me with my writing better. Therefore, if you were once an avid reader and have lost the touch of it, this is the perfect time to reconnect to your stack of untouched lying favourites. Fun with family Family to me always comes first! In the times of lockdown, your family is what is going to keep you together by supporting you and making you laugh or be your partners in fun. The lockdown has brought us closer than ever. Kunal and I make sure that we engage ourselves with some or the other interesting activity. We try to indulge Inaaya in various activities such as drawing, puzzles, colouring, learning the alphabet or numbers, and sometimes we gaze out of windows and play the “I spot” game from the balcony. Experiment with healthy snacks I love snacks that are filling and

healthy and so does my family, hence I cook our meals that are rich in nutrients. Since almonds are one of my favourite snacks to munch on, I make sure that my recipes include a handful of almonds. They not only keep you full but also prevents you from binging on unhealthy options as they help suppress hunger in between meals. Some of my favourite dishes are Sheera with nuts, Almond Soy milk, Roasted Almonds with a spicy touch, definitely worth trying. Exercising with FAM Jam indoors The lockdown has put a hold on the gyms but not on us, hence I make sure to take out time to exercise for an hour. Kunal and I motivate each other to perform the basic exercises at home. Occasionally we take Zumba and Yoga sessions for Inaaya and love to watch her groove with the music. The funniest thing is she exercises with us and it is cute to watch her try and learn the basics with us. Skincare routine Maintaining the glow inside out is important. I use facemasks once in a week to exfoliate the impurities and dust from my skin. It is also impor-
