Krystle D’souza, one of the most popular actresses on Indian television, is a workaholic. She is finding it a little challenging to keep herself holed up inside her apartment in Mumbai amid the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. But the actress has also had a great realization after spending almost two months under lockdown. “In this lockdown, I have realised that I love my own company,” she says.
The actress goes on to add, “Killing time has been challenging for me as usually we are all so busy with a lot of stuff, so how do you spend the day and not just on your phone. I have limited my social media usage to two hours a day and I check the news and updates only once a day. I am missing seeing my friends, though some of them live close by but I don’t want to take risks.”
Apart from enjoying her own company, Krystle is also devoting some time to writing poetry and watching content on OTT platforms. “I do connect with friends on video chats but there are days when I don’t talk to anyone,” she says. She is glad to spend time on household chores like cleaning and cooking. It keeps her mind occupies. “That is therapeutic and a good work out,” she points out.
After making her digital debut with Ekta Kapoor’s show Fittrat, Krystle is awaiting the release of her debut Hindi film Chehre. Co-starring Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi, the mystery thriller is scheduled to release on 17th July, 2020. However, keeping in mind the current situation due to the pandemic, it seems highly unlikely that the movie will manage to stick to its release date.
Rumours have been rife lately that Chehre might premiere directly on an OTT platform. When asked about the same, Krystle says, “There is so much happening in the world, everyone is dealing with their own things, from migrant workers to COVID deaths. The release of the film is the last thing on anyone’s mind. Releasing films on OTT is new territory for everyone involved and no one knows what is better or worse. Today people are at home, so if they get fresh content, they would be only too glad to watch it and if films are ready, then maybe it is a good development. But as an actor, I have no money invested while producers do. There will always be more films being made after the lockdown. Indians love films and I see no harm in providing fresh content in these times,” she says in conclusion.
Perry's onstage quip about "Englishmen" felt like a deliberate signal.
Those yacht photos are, frankly, undeniable.
It started with a Montreal dinner most people missed.
Both are out of long-term relationships.
Well, she’s as good as confirmed it, hasn’t she? Katy Perry just tossed a verbal grenade into her London concert, and the pieces all point to Justin Trudeau. That line about Englishmen? You do not say that by accident. It lands just days after those, let's face it, pretty steamy pictures of them surfaced on her boat. This Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau thing is suddenly feeling very real, shifting from rumours to a full-blown celebrity romance.

So what did she actually say?
Mid-show at the O2, looking out at the crowd, she hits them with this: "London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night?... No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time."
Pause.
Then came the kicker: "...but not anymore." The place erupts. It was too specific, too perfectly timed. And then, almost as if scripted, some fan proposes to her. Her comeback was: "I wish you’d asked me 48 hours ago." What is that, if not a nod to a new, serious someone?
Let’s talk about the yacht. The Daily Mail got those shots and, while grainy, the story they tell is crystal clear. The photos were taken off the coast of Santa Barbara, on her 78-foot Caravelle. He is pulling her in, kissing her cheek. His hand was on her backside in another frame. This follows that low-key Montreal dinner in July that almost flew under the radar.

Where does this leave everyone?
Right, let us look at the context. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom only finalised their split recently, with the co-parenting news coming out in July. Justin Trudeau’s marriage to Sophie Grégoire also ended last year. Both are prominent figures with busy lives who have only just become single. Sources are already saying he has been "persistent," flying to see her on tour breaks. It has the feel of something that is accelerating fast. And Perry, with that London comment, seems ready to let it.
