After Moving To India, American Woman Learns Indian Cooking And Turns Vegetarian
She also became a vegetarian. Yes, a big change. 'I became a vegetarian, and it's surprisingly easy here. India offers so much variety in vegetarian food that I don't even think twice about it anymore,' she said. Another shift? No more relying on week-old produce trucked across the country like in the U.S. 'Now I buy fresh and locally sourced food from street vendors,' Kristen shared.
And that is not all, the American woman now rides a scooter, has learned Hindi and sends her kids to a private school (which, she noted, is way more affordable here compared to the US).
Oh, and here is a fun little detail: Kristen is totally into bargaining at outdoor markets. 'I love the feeling of bargaining prices and getting good deals on things. It's just so fun to me,' she said. Classic desi move, right?

Sania Mirza is biggest fan of this actor, wants to romance him in her biopic; Not Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, name is....
Indian former professional tennis player Sania Mirza announced her retirement from tennis in 2023. Since then, there have been ongoing developments regarding her biopic. Reports suggest that a contract has been signed with Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP production house. As the project is still in its initial stages, the casting and direction are yet to be finalised. Last year, Sania Mirza came as a guest on 'The Great Indian Kapil Show '. Along with her, other real-life heroes also joined, like boxer Mary Kom, badminton star Saina Nehwal, and Paris Olympics medal hopeful 50-m rifle shooter Sift Kaur Samra. Will We See a Sania Mirza Biopic Soon? Kapil Sharma asked Sania Mirza that since Priyanka Chopra played Mary Kom in the biopic about the 48 kg/51 kg championship boxer, and Parineeti Chopra portrayed Saina Nehwal in the biopic of the badminton star who inspired a generation of Indian girls, whom would Sania Mirza choose to play her in a biographical movie about her life? Who will play Sania in Sania Mirza's biopic? Sania, who is known for her comebacks, volleyed: Is there another Chopra sister who can play this part? Speaking of male leads to play her 'love interest', Sania said she'd have to first find one in real life. Sania is divorced from Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik. The two have a five-year-old son Izhaan, who lives with Sania now. Continuing their discussion about who could play her love interest, Kapil asked if she would like to play the part herself if Shah Rukh Khan were cast opposite her. She said yes and also mentioned Akshay Kumar's name, adding, 'If Akshay is cast opposite me, I definitely would.'

Sid at Siddhivinayak to Rajkummar at Golden Temple: Bollywood's new batch of dads go spiritual for their little ones
It was only 2 weeks back that Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa announced that they were expecting their first baby. Sidharth Malhotra and his mother at Siddhivinayak Temple; Rajkummar Rao at Golden Temple(Photos: Instagram) Round about the same time, Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani also announced the birth of their first child, a baby girl, on July 16. Settling into their new roles as parents, both Sidharth and Kiara have kept quite a low profile, following from their equally hush-hush pregnancy months, save for a few grand occasions such as the latter's Met Gala debut. Earlier today however, Sidharth stepped out for his first public appearance since the birth of his little girl. With his mother Rimma Malhotra in tow, the actor paid a humble visit to the hallowed Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai, presumably bowing his head to pray for the newest mum on the block, wife Kiara, and their little one, whose name is yet to be disclosed. Another heartening public outing reflecting the same sentiment was Rajkummar Rao's quick visit to the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Sharing a series of pictures of him bowing in front of the holy waters, the actor caption his post, "सतनाम वाहेगुरु। वाहे गुरु जी दा खालसा वाहे गुरु जी दी फतेह। ❤️". Rajkummar's presence there, was presumably to seek blessings for his expecting wife and their little who'll soon join them earth side. The actor made his quick trip to Amritsar, shortly after marking his presence for designers Shantnu & Nikhil, who showcased their Fall-Winter 2025 line at the currently ongoing Hyundai India Couture Week, in association with FDCI. As a matter of fact, the show concluded with Rajkummar, and several other front row attendees like Arjun Rampal, Jim Sarbh, Randeep Hooda, Rahul Khanna, Vihaan Samat and Zahaan Kapoor joining the designer duo on stage as the curtains fell on the show. Coming back to their spiritual trysts, we wish the both of them all the very best as they embrace fatherhood.
