The actor has now returned to work and, in a recent interview with Zoom, opened up about postpartum depression, the importance of family support, and balancing work with motherhood. Parineeti Chopra talks about balancing work and motherhood. Parineeti Chopra talks about postpartum depression Parineeti said that many people assume the difficult phase ends once a baby is born and the pregnancy is over. However, she stressed that mothers continue to require proper medical care and emotional support even after childbirth. She added that medical assistance, awareness and a strong support system for a woman after delivering a baby are extremely important. She said, “Unfortunately, the term depression is often misused by some people. They are just like, ‘Oh, she’s sad’. But she’s dealing with a painful delivery, painful recovery, a hormonal crash and an emotional crash. She’s feeding a baby and taking care of a human being. It’s not just about taking care of the baby. Sometimes …

Recently, however, she opened up about how self-aware she has become of her privilege, and how acknowledging it has made her more grounded and thankful. ‘I have to earn my right to see Lord Balaji’ In a conversation with Raj Shamani, she spoke about this aspect of her life and shared her experiences visiting the famed Tirupati Balaji temple. She reflected on how, despite having access to VIP darshan, the experience makes her acutely aware of the people who wait for hours, sometimes days, for the darshan. “The fact that Tirupati, a place that I love going to, has a VIP darshan, which is what I usually go for because it’s more convenient. And it’s probably the only way in which I can go, even in terms of safety. …

A Balancing Act Amid Geopolitical Uncertainties: What Easing FDI Rules For China Means For India | India News

Published by Webster

Last Updated:March 11, 2026, 15:56 IST It reflects a more calibrated approach that attempts to balance security concerns with the need for investment, technology and supply chain integration. Allowing carefully screened Chinese investments in manufacturing could help India expand production capabilities more quickly. The Union Cabinet on Tuesday eased Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) rules for China and other countries sharing a land border with India, by amending Press Note 3 of 2020, according to an official release. India’s move to gradually ease restrictions on Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) comes at a time of heightened global uncertainty and shifting geopolitical alignments. Nearly six years after New Delhi imposed strict scrutiny on investments from countries sharing a land border with India, the government is now signalling a more flexible approach — one shaped as much by economic realities as by global strategic changes. The original restrictions were introduced in 2020 following the deadly border clashes between Indian and Chinese troops in eastern Ladakh. At the time, India mandated that investments from neighbouring countries, particularly China, would …

Vikrant Massey is a household name today on the back of popular hits such as 12th Fail but his success has come after years of slogging and hard work. An outsider to the Hindi film industry, he started working at the age of 16 as he and his family faced financial hardship and he had no choice but to earn money to pay for his education. The actor, who will be seen in a biopic of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar next, has revealed that at the age of 16, he was balancing two jobs and pulling off 16-hour days to ensure that he earns enough money to keep his education going. “I’ve been very fortunate as the audiences have been so generous, even after 21 years of professional work. I started off with TV and did nearly a decade of television before acting in cinema. The love and support have only grown. And I say this with all humility because I’m 38 and audiences are still out there supporting me,” he said in an interview …

At 16, Syndrela Das is balancing boards, belief, and big wins

Published by Webster

At the 2026 WTT Youth Contender Vadodara, Syndrela Das did what she has quietly been doing for the past few years: winning, learning, and growing, all at an age when most athletes are still figuring out who they are. Just 16, the table tennis player from South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, walked away with two titles and a deeper sense of belief. But when she sat down to speak to The Bridge, the conversation drifted less towards medals and more towards beginnings, balance, and the small details that are shaping one of Indian table tennis’ most promising young careers. From a hobby to a calling “I played table tennis since childhood, but just as a hobby,” Syndrela said. Like many children, she dabbled in multiple activities, swimming, drawing, singing, dancing, until one moment stood out. “One day I played a mixed tournament where I won against a boy in the finals like 3-0,” she recalled. “After winning against a boy… it just made me feel so good and I wanted to play table tennis even …

Foreign Minister Engages US, Foreign Secretary, China: India’s Balancing Act

Published by Webster

New Delhi: India’s diplomacy stands out globally for its ability to balance ties between adversaries. The latest example of this is happening this week. As foreign minister S Jaishankar touches down in New Delhi after a five-day visit to the US for Donald Trump’s inauguration, foreign secretary Vikram Misri heads to China to foster ties with Beijing. Just ten days ago, during a visit to Spain, foreign minister S Jaishankar had said India is one of the very few countries in the world that can engage both Russia and Ukraine, as well as Israel and Iran. “This is something very, very unique. And it is unique because if you look at the world today, it is a very polarised world,” he said. Donald Trump has threatened to impose hefty tariffs on China and even the BRICS+ countries, which India is a member of as well. China, the world’s second-largest economy, has warned that it will retaliate, should Washington actually follow through. President Trump has also targeted China over its presence in the Panama Canal and …
