Puja Sharma and Ashish Dixit on the healing power of Yoga and Music

On the occasion of International Yoga Day and World Music Day, television actors Puja Sharma and Ashish Dixit share how yoga and music help them stay grounded amidst their demanding shoot schedules — offering moments of calm, clarity, and joy. Puja Sharma, who plays Kanka in Jhanak, is working toward building a more consistent yoga practice and believes even 3–4 days a week can bring a real shift — physically, mentally, and emotionally. 'I truly want to make yoga a more permanent part of my lifestyle because I've seen how even a little bit can create balance,' she shares. Music, too, is an essential part of her daily rhythm. 'I start my mornings with chants and meditation music to feel centered, and before stepping out, I dance to a high-energy Punjabi song to uplift my vibe! After a long day on set, soothing music — be it AR Rahman, Indian classical, ghazals, or 90s Bollywood — helps me unwind and reconnect with myself. Music is my therapy — a silent friend that's always there.' For Ashish Dixit, the lead in Pati Brahmachari, yoga is a way to reset during packed days on set. 'Yoga helps me find moments of stillness in a hectic routine. Even on busy shoot days, I try to fit in short stretches or breathing exercises between scenes. It calms my nerves and helps me approach every shot with more focus.' When it comes to music, his choices are rooted in emotion. 'I often listen to soft instrumental tracks or soulful Sufi music on my way to the set — it puts me in the right frame of mind. And after a long day, nothing beats old Hindi classics to help me unwind.' For both actors, yoga and music are more than wellness trends — they're essential tools for emotional balance and self-connection. Can you laugh like these TV celebs?

Raj Kundra Recalls 'Darkest Times' In Jail: ‘Friendships Vanished Overnight But Shilpa Stood By Me'

Raj's legal troubles are far from over. While he is currently out on bail, the case is still under trial. Raj Kundra, who was arrested in July 2021 in connection with a pornography case, has opened up about the harrowing two months he spent in Arthur Road jail. Speaking to ETimes, the businessman-turned-actor called it 'the darkest times of my life," admitting it was a phase filled with anger, pain, and intense self-reflection. He said, 'There was anger, hurt and confusion, but also deep self-reflection. I could've let that chapter define me, but I chose instead to learn from it." Raj's legal troubles are far from over. While he is currently out on bail, the case is still under trial. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also attached assets worth nearly Rs 98 crore in a money laundering probe related to the case. Reflecting on the fallout, Raj revealed how that period tested his relationships. 'Some friendships vanished overnight, others got stronger than ever. But the real pain was watching my loved ones suffer because of my headlines," he said. The most emotional part of his revelation was about his family's unwavering support, particularly wife Shilpa Shetty. 'Shilpa stood by me with grace and resilience, even when it would've been easier to walk away. My kids gave me reason to smile when I felt like disappearing. That kind of unconditional support rewires your soul," Raj said. Kundra, who is now making his acting debut in the Punjabi film Mehar, said he's not interested in stardom but in telling meaningful stories. 'I'm not chasing stardom — I'm chasing stories," he added. On Friday, Raj posted a heartfelt video montage on Instagram to celebrate Shilpa Shetty. The video, featuring cherished memories over the years, was accompanied by a romantic note: 'The candles are out, but you still light up my world.… and the joy of celebrating you, will never end… every day with you feels like a celebration of love."
