Mira Kapoor's wellness message to women: Investing in your health early can empower your future
In a world that rarely stops spinning, Mira Kapoor is asking people to pause, and listen. With her latest entrepreneurial venture, Dhun Wellness, a luxury destination nestled in the heart of Mumbai, the 30-year-old is offering sound baths, Ayurvedic healing, Cryotherapy, Japanese Lymphatic Massages, Sonic Meditations and more, to help people harmonise and heal. But is wellness truly all about expensive treatments? Dhun Wellness treatments - though thoughtfully designed, tailored and luxurious - come at a price: A 60-minute sound healing session comes for ₹ 7,500, a 30-minute aura cleansing for ₹ 10,000, Aura and chakra scan for ₹ 10,000, and a 7-day sleep reset and gut-cleanse program for ₹ 1.75 lakh. The prices led people on social media to question the accessibility of these offerings for the average urban Indian. Even as India's health and wellness economy touched $156.0 billion in 2024 (IMARC), Mira Kapoor says starting with small self-care rituals at home can be therapeutic. She has some of her own: Apply ghee on the feet, consume soaked raisins in the morning, and warm milk in the evening. She hopes that women, especially, shift the mindset towards wellness not only as indulgent self-care, but as urgent preventive healthcare. This is not Mira Kapoor's first wellness venture. She had earlier co-founded skincare brand Akind, and invested in Wellbeing Nutrition and Zama Organics, apart from backing SARVA Yoga with actor and husband Shahid Kapoor. In an email interview with LiveMint, Mira Kapoor talks about the idea behind Dhun Wellness, the evolving concept of urban well-being, India's growing wellness ecosystem, what turned Excerpts from the interview: For me, Dhun is more than just a melody, it's your personal rhythm, your inner alignment. In the context of wellness, it's that deeply intuitive sense of balance we all have but often lose sight of in the pace of city life. Dhun Wellness has been created to help people return to that space within themselves, to recalibrate, to breathe, to find clarity. It's about stepping away from constant noise and tuning into your body's natural intelligence. Urban wellness needs to evolve from being a temporary escape to becoming a way of life that is sustainable, intentional, and deeply integrated into our daily routines. It's no longer enough to rely on an annual detox retreat or a weekend off-grid. True wellness today is about consistency - small, mindful shifts that support longevity, emotional balance, and nervous system regulation. At Dhun Wellness, we've built our philosophy around this idea. Our 7-day programs are designed to meet urban individuals where they are, targeting the most common yet overlooked issues like chronic stress, poor sleep, inflammation, and gut imbalances, all in a format that's immersive but still accessible within city life. It's about bringing wellness into your everyday rhythm, not taking you out of it. Mira Kapoor says urban wellness should be about sustainability. Yes, absolutely. I think motherhood was that turning point for me. It forced me to slow down and ask deeper questions, not just about what I was putting into my body, but how I was living. I found myself returning to ancient healing traditions that emphasized balance over intensity, sustainability over speed. Ayurveda gave me that sense of rhythm, of reconnecting with my body in a more compassionate way. That shift eventually became the seed for my new venture. It was gradual. I started sharing my wellness journey, and the response was always deeply personal; people were searching for the same balance I had been looking for. I realized that while many of us understand the value of wellness, there aren't enough spaces that truly support it in a meaningful, accessible, and luxurious way within the city. That's when I knew I wanted to build something as a response to a need that so many of us share. Yes, I truly believe India is waking up to this shift. Wellness is no longer just about indulgence or relaxation, it's becoming synonymous with proactive, preventive living. Whether it's gut health, hormone balance, or longevity-focused recovery, people are beginning to understand that caring for your body today means fewer health complications tomorrow. We're seeing a convergence of ancient Indian wisdom with cutting-edge science, and that is what's driving the momentum in the wellness space today. Mira Kapoor hopes people stay in tune with their internal self. I say: start small, but start somewhere. Wellness doesn't have to mean expensive treatments, it can be as simple as knowing your body, honoring your cycles, eating clean, or pausing for five minutes to breathe with intention. It's about being kind to yourself consistently. For young women especially, it's important to remember that investing in your health early is one of the most empowering things you can do, for your energy, your confidence, and your future. Absolutely. No matter how full my schedule is, there are a few small practices I hold sacred. I always apply ghee to my feet before bed; it's deeply grounding and has a way of calming both body and mind. My mornings begin with raisins soaked overnight, which is a simple Ayurvedic habit that feels nourishing and purposeful. And at night, a cup of warm milk is my moment of stillness; it gently tells my body it's time to unwind. These may seem like small acts, but they root me in myself and bring a kind of quiet joy that I've come to deeply cherish.

Mira Rajput's organisation is selling stress management sessions for Rs 1.75 lakh, social media reacts: ‘Healed just by looking at the price tag'
Mira Rajput has often talked about not wanting to be tagged as just a 'star-wife'; she's married to Shahid Kapoor. She has branched out as an entrepreneur, with her beauty brand Akind, and the wellness brand Dhun Wellness. The website for the centre describes it as 'A sanctuary of sound, soul, and renewal. Where traditional wisdom, modern comfort, and the healing power of music unite for holistic well-being.' The website also lists all the services that the centre offers, and people on the internet were taken aback by how much they cost. The centre offers 'chakra scanning' and 'cleanse and reset' courses, for prices that range from Rs 3000 to Rs 1.75 lakh. A healing session is priced at Rs 7,500, but 'aura cleansing' and 'chakra scanner' programmes both cost Rs 10,000. Cryotherapy and 'red light therapy' sessions aren't as expensive; however, things get interesting when you discover the signature week-long sessions on offer. ALSO READ: Shahid Kapoor's wife Mira Rajput says she is vegetarian, a teetotaller: 'I refused to invest in a restaurant as it doesn't align with my principles' They offer five main sessions which are supposed to last for an entire week, and all of them start at Rs 1.75 lakh a pop. The sleep program is 'designed to gently realign your sleep cycle and restore balance to your circadian rhythm. Through a curated blend of bespoke treatments, we focus on harmonising the pineal gland, optimising the natural sleep cycle, and ensuring a deep, rejuvenating slumber.' A women's health programme with the same price tag is described as a 'ritual designed to restore balance, nourish the body, and support emotional wellbeing at every stage of life.' There is also the 'singing bowl therapy' and the 'emotional freedom technique', which deal with 'chakra balancing' and 'tapping therapy', respectively. Fans on the internet wasted no time in questioning the prices. A user on Reddit wrote, 'You will forget whatever your trauma was and suffer from the new trauma of losing 10K for that session,' while another said, 'My aura and chakra went into an automatic cleanse and align mode after looking at the price.' Mira seems focused on her journey. In a recent conversation with Hello! magazine, she talked about how her childhood and her upbringing made her conscious about beauty and wellness and how she wants to turn that passion into something fruitful. She said, 'All the practices I picked up along the way are greatly shaped by Ayurveda because it recognises each individual's unique constitution. I've always had an interest in understanding how the body and nature interact. I've now turned this interest into my next business venture, Dhun Wellness.'

Shahid Kapoor's Wife Mira's 'Dhun' Charges Rs 1.75 Lakh For Sleep Reset, Leaves Reddit Shocked
Last Updated: After launching her skincare line Akind, Dhun is Mira Kapoor's latest endeavour but it's the price tags that have the internet buzzing. Mira Kapoor, wife of Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor, has officially stepped into the world of wellness entrepreneurship with her centre, Dhun, located in Bandra, Mumbai. Known for her minimalist fashion sense and clean living aesthetic, Mira has long advocated for holistic health. After launching her skincare line Akind, Dhun is her latest endeavour but it's the price tags that have the internet buzzing. Shahid Kapoor recently shared a video tour of Dhun, revealing the luxury space spread across 6,000 square feet with soundproof walls and a serene, earthy-toned interior. Mira, dressed in a beige co-ord set and cropped jacket, matched the wellness centre's vibe with her understated, organic style. Dhun offers an array of treatments aimed at modern wellness seekers. These include 60-minute sound healing sessions priced at Rs 7,500, a 30-minute aura cleansing for Rs 10,000, and a red light bed session for Rs 5,500, which claims to boost collagen. For those seeking deeper insight, there's an aura and chakra scanner test for Rs 10,000, and a 3-minute cryotherapy session costs Rs 7,000. But it's the Rs 1.75 lakh sleep reset and gut-cleanse program that has raised eyebrows. Described as an intensive, week-long experience tailored to Mumbai's fast-paced lifestyle, Mira believes it's an investment in one's well-being. However, many online aren't buying into it. Netizens took to Reddit to share their reactions. One user joked, 'No way. My 1.75 lakh is going straight to mutual funds. Still more reliable than sleep reset programs." Another quipped, '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 added, 'Rich people's idea of wellness is a comedy show in itself." Some users felt Mira, who has access to time, money and stability, could've channelled her energy into something more meaningful. 'She should really do something she's passionate about. This is just a waste of time, energy and resources," one wrote. Despite the trolling, Mira appears undeterred. The 31-year-old has shared that she discovered her passion for holistic wellness over the years, and Shahid has been a supportive partner throughout. On Akshay Tritiya, the couple even performed a small puja at Dhun. In the pictures, Shahid and Mira are seen breaking coconuts at the entrance, with her in-laws, Pankaj Kapur and Supriya Pathak, visibly beaming with pride. Mira and Shahid also posed with tilaks on their foreheads, marking the start of this new journey. First Published:
