TALENTED TV star Rishina Kandhari has acted in a wide array of drama serials and taken on challenging roles.

Like many actors, she has been in self-isolation during the Covid-19 pandemic and taking time out from a very busy work schedule.

Eastern Eye caught up with the beautiful small screen star during lockdown for a quick catch up.

How are you handling the lockdown and what have you been doing?

I am handling it in a positive way. It’s better to be safe than sorry and hence the lockdown is important to flatten the curve of Covid-19. It is better to be indoors rather than venture outside and risk our lives.

How do you look back on your journey on TV and which project gave you the greatest joy?

My TV journey has been incredible. With every new project and with every new character, I have improved myself. I have tried to be true and do justice to every role I played. Favourites include Diya Aur Baati Hum, Ye Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai, Crime Patrol, where I played a cop and anchored the show.

Who has been the most memorable person you have worked with?

Mouni Roy. She played my sister in Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev. I am proud of her journey and growth as an actor; it’s something to learn from.

What is your master plan when the lockdown is over?

I go with the flow, so there is no master plan, but yes, I am looking

forward to doing some good films and good web series as well, along with my TV shows.

What have you been watching during the lockdown period and have you binge-watched anything recently?

I am a huge sci-fi fan and started watching Star Wars. I also finished watching Vampire Diaries and now I am binge-watching Glitch.

What would be your dream role?

I would love to play Wonder Woman.

If you could master something new, what would it be and why?

I’m learning guitar. I have always wanted to learn and now that I have time, I am trying to learn it online, but it’s very tough. Hopefully, I’ll master it one day.

What inspires you?

A disciplined lifestyle and people with enormous knowledge who I can talk to and learn things from inspire me the most.

Why do you love being an actor?

My job allows me to learn different things every day and that’s what I love about acting. It keeps my mind occupied and focused. I love the preparations that I have to do for my characters.

Gwyneth Paltrow returns to sourdough and pasta after years of ‘hardcore’ diets

Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed that she is returning to eating foods she once restricted, including sourdough bread, pasta, and cheese, after following a strict paleo diet for several years. The Oscar-winning actress, who has become a prominent health and wellness advocate, has been vocal about her diet choices throughout her career, particularly through her lifestyle business, Goop.

In a recent episode of her Goop podcast, Paltrow discussed her food journey and how her eating habits have evolved over the years. She explained that she had previously gone through a "hardcore macrobiotic" phase, describing it as an "interesting chapter" where she became deeply focused on eating extremely healthy foods. This period saw her embracing a diet rich in seasonal and local foods, with an emphasis on fish, vegetables, and rice, while eliminating dairy and sugar.

Top 5 fascinating facts about penguins on World Penguin Day

As World Penguin Day arrives, it serves as a reminder to celebrate one of nature’s most beloved and unique creatures. Penguins have long captured our imaginations with their tuxedo-like appearance, charming behaviour, and extraordinary ability to thrive in some of the harshest environments on Earth. While these remarkable birds are most closely associated with the icy expanses of Antarctica, their story is far more diverse and fascinating. Here are five fascinating facts about penguins that highlight their resilience, adaptability, and their role in the animal kingdom.

1. Penguins aren’t confined to Antarctica

Although penguins are often linked with the cold and icy landscapes of Antarctica, they are not confined to this frozen continent. In fact, penguins inhabit a wide range of environments across the Southern Hemisphere. While species such as the Emperor and Adélie penguins breed exclusively in Antarctica, other penguin species have adapted to life in warmer climates. For instance, the Galápagos penguin resides on the Galápagos Islands, located just north of the equator, where temperatures are much warmer than those in the icy waters of the South Pole.

Breaking the silence: Why Asian women must talk about menopause

Kiran Singh

For many women in the Asian community, the journey through perimenopause and menopause is still shrouded in silence, confusion, and, at times, shame. It’s often seen as something we just have to “put up with” quietly, as though struggling through it alone is a badge of honour. But the truth is, menopause is a universal transition - one every woman will experience in her lifetime - and it is time we start talking about it, especially within our cultural communities where silence often masks suffering.

We all go through it - so why don’t we talk about it?

Menopause doesn’t arrive overnight. For most women, it begins subtly during perimenopause, which can start as early as your late 30s or early 40s and last for several years. According to the NHS and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), over 30 recognised symptoms of perimenopause range from hot flushes and night sweats to anxiety, low mood, brain fog, and joint pain.
