Mira Kapoor's luxury wellness centre offers Rs 1.75 lakh ‘sleep reset' package, stirs online debate: 'Jo bachi kuchi neend aati thi woh bhi udd jayegi'
Shahid Kapoor
, has made a bold foray into the world of wellness with the launch of her premium centre, Dhun, in Bandra, Mumbai. After the success of her skincare label Akind, Mira's latest venture reflects her ongoing commitment to holistic health and conscious living.
But while the serene 6,000 sq. ft. space and earthy aesthetics are being praised, it's the pricing of some services that has the internet talking.
In a recent video shared by Shahid, fans got a glimpse of the wellness centre's calming interiors, soundproof walls, and minimalistic design, all echoing Mira's own understated style. She was seen in a beige co-ord set and jacket, blending seamlessly with the centre's natural tones.
It offers a range of high-end treatments, from a Rs 7,500 sound healing session and Rs 10,000 aura cleansing to a Rs 5,500 red light therapy bed said to improve collagen production. There's also a Rs 10,000 aura and chakra scanner and a Rs 7,000 cryotherapy session. However, the real showstopper is the Rs 1.75 lakh sleep reset and gut-cleanse program, a week-long intensive Mira claims is tailored for Mumbai's chaotic pace.
The internet, however, isn't convinced. Reactions poured in on Reddit, with many mocking the luxury pricing. 'No way. My 1.75 lakh is going straight to mutual funds,' wrote one user. Another said, 'Sleep me reset toh hoga hi naa, itne paise kharch karne ke baad jo bachi kuchi neend aati thi woh bhi udd jayegi.' A third chimed in, 'Rich people's idea of wellness is a comedy show in itself.'

Critics also questioned the purpose behind the project, suggesting Mira, with her resources and privilege, could have done something more impactful.
'She should really do something she's passionate about. This is just a waste of time, energy and resources,' one comment read.
Despite the online backlash, Mira seems unfazed. The 31-year-old shared that Dhun is a deeply personal project born out of her own journey with wellness. Shahid, ever the supportive partner, was by her side during the launch. The couple even performed a traditional puja at the centre on Akshay Tritiya, accompanied by Shahid's parents,

Vijay Deverakonda interview: At 60, I do not want to be an unhappy star
Two days after the release of his Telugu film Kingdom, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, Vijay Deverakonda is still taking in the response. He is yet to watch the film in theatres but is game to answer queries about the plot points during a media interaction. When he settles down for this interview, he gets candid about the highs and lows in his career. Edited excerpts from the conversation: What's your state of mind right now? Has the success sunk in? I think it will take a while. I fully grasped the extent of Geetha Govindam's success only a year ago. Back then I didn't understand all the talk about collections and asked (producer) Bunny Vasu and others whether it's a hit. About a year ago when I saw some footage of the promotions and how the film drew the audiences, it sunk in. Rashmika (Mandanna) and I talked about it and said, 'we should have enjoyed this at the time'. It is seven years too late. She called me yesterday and said, 'I hope you are enjoying the reception (to Kingdom).' Taxiwaala did reasonably well, and Dear Comrade was appreciated over time. But is Kingdom your biggest hit after Geetha Govindam? It sure is. Kingdom has given me the intense love of the audiences yet again. Kushi also opened well but in hindsight, we all felt that the 'conflict point' between the couple — one being a believer and the other an atheist — was resolved too quickly. It could have been explored further for the emotional connection with the audience. Shiva Nirvana (director) was keen to move on to their tussle over having a child. It was a creative call. It was tough to judge at the time. In the last seven years, how did you pick yourself up when your films did not work as expected? I give my best to every film. And I have asked why cannot God, or the Universe, take my side. I have had sleepless nights. At night when the world is asleep and you are alone, wide awake with a racing mind, it is rough. This happened to me a lot over the last two to three years. But I would wake up the next morning, hit the gym and prepare for my next film. Before Kingdom's release, I was aware that whatever be the outcome, I need to give my 100% when I begin filming for Rahul Sankrityan's film on August 4. After the stupendous success of Pelli Choopulu, director Tharun Bhascker said he had a panic attack and faced an imposter syndrome, weighed down by all the praise. Did you face a similar situation after seeing both highs and lows? When Tharun told me about what he was going through, I did not understand it. I found it absurd and as a dear friend, would ask him to enjoy the success. My focus shifted to how to get to the next step — learn dancing, horse riding, get fitter… Arjun Reddy was made within a 5-crore budget. Sandeep (Reddy Vanga) and I travelled to Italy with a four-member team. There was no crew, caravan, makeup or hairdresser. We made do with the bare minimum. The thought was about what we could have done with better amenities or a bigger crew. After tasting success and getting these facilities, it was frustrating when I could not see the desired result on screen for all the effort that was going into a film. What upset me more is not being able to live up to my potential. People turn up in large numbers on the opening day of your films. These are audiences in different age groups. Have you wondered what makes people look forward to your films despite the setbacks? I have no idea. But this audience and their love is very important to me. I did my first few films for survival, to make some money and get another opportunity to act. Now I do not want people to lose faith in me. For instance, I can watch any Leonardo DiCaprio film. I may not like one odd film, but I will still watch his films because of his performance and the intent to narrate something of quality. Likewise, when people see my poster and come to watch a film, I do not want them to be disappointed. My problem is I am a man in a rush. I have no patience for a slow journey. Did you set out to become an actor or a star? Did that change over the years? I have a bad memory, so I don't recall much. A dear friend who has known me since I was 20, told me much later that I had said, 'I am going to be an actor; not just any actor, but the biggest actor'. This was when I was doing theatre. She was worried about me and the journey ahead. At the time of Pelli Choopulu, all that Tharun and I wanted was to ensure that the film makes some money. The film was completed within ₹60 lakh. We hoped that if it earned a crore, we could take a salary of ₹10 lakh each. We hoped to make one film a year, within a crore each, and encourage aspiring directors. The plan changed after Arjun Reddy and Geetha Govindam became massive hits. The feeling of being loved is addictive and dangerous. Now my idea is to find a balance between achieving greatness and being happy. It is conflicting. Sometimes I want to be great at the cost of being happy. At other times, I wonder what the point of being a huge star is if I am unhappy. I want to be happy with my loved ones and enjoy the work I do. When I am 60, I want to be considered a respected actor of my time who has also seen crazy stardom; but I don't want to be an unhappy star wondering what I did with my life beyond film releases and tracking numbers.

Siddhant Chaturvedi, Triptii Dimri starer Dhadak 2 struggles at box office, earns ₹3.65 on Day 1
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 2 (ANI): The much-awaited romantic drama 'Dhadak 2,' starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, finally hit theatres this Friday. While the film had generated curiosity for its fresh pairing, its box office performance on Day 1 fell short of expectations. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the sequel to 'Dhadak' earned ₹ 3.65 crore on its first day in India. The film's release clashed with Ajay Devgn's starer 'Son of Sardaar 2.' With two major films hitting theatres on the same day, movie buffs seem to have divided their attention, which could be one reason why the film fell short of expectations. Adding to the pressure was the continued success of Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara at the box office. The romantic drama, which hit theatres earlier on July 18, is still performing strongly. This seems to have affected the Siddhant and Dimri starrer. 'Dhadak 2' is a follow-up to 2018's 'Dhadak' and a remake of filmmaker Mari Selvaraj's 2018 Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. As per Adarsh, the sequel's first-day numbers are below expectations, especially when compared to its first instalment, 'Dhadak,' which starred Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. The film had earned ₹ 8.71 crore on its opening day back then. All eyes are now on the weekend collections to see if the film can pick up pace. Helmed by Shazia Iqbal, Dhadak 2 explores love while challenging social norms. The film follows Siddhant's character as he navigates a love story that breaks through societal expectations and class barriers. (ANI)

‘Kingdom' brings spotlight on actor Venkitesh V P
Actor Venkitesh V P, who was seen in films like 'Stand Up', 'The Priest', 'Kho-Kho', and 'Lovefully Yours Veda', is now basking in the limelight after 'Kingdom', his Telugu debut directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri and starring Vijay Deverakonda, hit the screens. His phone had been buzzing ever since the movie's pre-release event in Hyderabad, wherein Venkitesh's emotional speech about his decade-long struggle in the industry went viral. His co-star even tweeted, '[Kingdom] is just [Venkitesh's] fourth film, but when I shared scenes with him, I felt like I was in his world.' 'Deadly actor, ferocious eyes and energy, sweet soul. He will make a strong mark,' Vijay's tweet continues. Off-screen, too, Venkitesh is winning hearts. He runs a food truck in Thiruvananthapuram called Suda Suda Idli, where he personally serves piping-hot idlis. TNIE caught up with the actor to trace his journey, his big break, and the dream that fuels him. You spoke so emotionally at the pre-release event of Kingdom, sharing your nine-year journey in cinema. Can you tell us more? It all began in school at Government Model Boys Higher Secondary, where we'd bunk classes to watch films. That's when the dream took root. The film 'Best Actor' starring Mammootty left a deep mark on me. After graduation, I knew I couldn't imagine life without cinema. My parents asked me to finish my master's first. Once that was done, I started auditioning. I worked as a junior artist, landed small dialogue roles, and later joined a reality show that gave me some visibility. But the film I worked in shortly afterwards got shelved. I waited a whole year in hopes that it would hit the screens. Sadly, it didn't, and I had to start from scratch again. Back then, I'd message assistant and associate directors on Facebook, asking for auditions. That's how 'Stand Up' happened. Since then, it's been a rollercoaster. But passion keeps me going. Your Telugu debut comes with a big team and strong backing. How did you land the role in Kingdom? My first non-Malayalam film was in Tamil, 'Rebel'. Its team approached me after the 'Lovefully Yours Veda' trailer caught someone's eye. Similarly, the 'Kingdom' team saw the 'Rebel' trailer. They just called me — no audition. At first, I thought it was a prank. I believed it only when I met Gowtam sir. Working with him was like attending an acting school. And to play a villain opposite Vijay Deverakonda? Unbelievable.
