Looking presentable is a part of your personality: Shivangi Verma

Tera Ishq Mera Fitoor actress Shivangi Verma feels grooming is very important. She said, “Outer appearance is what people notice first. Whether we like it or not, first impressions are often based on how we look. Looking presentable can open doors and create positive outcomes in life. It's a human tendency to judge people based on their appearance initially, so it does matter to look put-together.” “Looking presentable is a part of your personality. Professionally, when you look presentable, it's a way of showing respect to the people you work for and with. Personally, being groomed and looking neat, clean, and presentable helps you feel more confident about yourself,” she added.
She also pointed out that it's human nature to judge people by their first looks and outfits. “Good-looking people do attract attention initially. However, while first impressions matter, they are not everything. Our judgments often change once we get to know someone better,” she said.Shivangi, however, mentioned that outer appearance becomes much less important after spending time with someone. She said, “Once you get to know a person's character, values, and how they treat others, their looks become secondary. A kind heart and a good personality are what truly make a person attractive in the long run.”
She also pointed out that it’s very important for her that her vibe matches the person she is meeting. “Having a good connection makes conversations easier and more enjoyable. When you vibe well with someone, you feel understood and comfortable, which is very important for building any kind of relationship,” she said. So who has the most good-looking personality, according to you? “In India, I find Hrithik Roshan very good-looking. He has an amazing presence, great style, and takes care of his fitness, which shows. Internationally, I think David Beckham is very handsome. He has a timeless charm, and his sense of fashion is always on point. Both have a strong personality that adds to their attractiveness,” she ended.

It is a time of heightened devotion and religious observance: Sherleen Dutt on Shravan month

Honey Trap Squad actress Sherleen Dutt, says Shravan, the fifth month of the Hindu calendar, holds immense significance for her as a spiritual believer. She said, “This month is considered highly auspicious, dedicated to Lord Shiva, and is a time of heightened devotion and religious observance.”
“I believe that Shravan is a period for deepening one's spiritual connection, reflecting on life’s purpose, and engaging in acts of devotion and charity. It is a time to cleanse oneself both physically and spiritually, embracing purity and piety,” she added. She said that this is the time when she feels more connected to the divine and can devote herself to spiritual practices and introspection. “Observing the rituals and traditions associated with Shravan, such as fasting and prayer, brings a sense of peace and fulfillment,” she said.
“It’s also a time to seek blessings from Lord Shiva, asking for guidance, strength, and the ability to overcome obstacles. The month of Shravan reaffirms my commitment to living a life of virtue, devotion, and self-discipline,” she added. Sherleen further shared that the values of Shravan, particularly devotion and love, are integral to both her personal and professional lives. “Devotion teaches me dedication and perseverance, which I apply to my work as an actress and content creator. By being devoted to my craft, I ensure that I deliver my best performance in every project,” she said. “Love, on the other hand, guides my interactions with others, fostering compassion, understanding, and positive relationships. Embracing these values helps me stay grounded, focused, and motivated, allowing me to approach challenges with a calm and positive mindset,” she added. 
Do you have any special rituals or practices that you follow during Shravan? “I observe a few special rituals during Shravan. I fast every Monday of Shravan, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva. This practice not only enhances my spiritual discipline but also helps me cultivate a sense of inner peace and devotion,” she said.“Additionally, I strive to keep myself busy helping others and serving the community, reflecting the spirit of Shravan. By dedicating time to selfless service, I aim to embody the values of compassion and charity. I also ensure that I set aside time for prayer and meditation, creating space to connect deeply with Mahadev and seek his blessings,” Sherleen ended.

I understand my thoughts: Nitin Goswami

The question “What kind of person are you?” sounds so simple, but yet answering it is very tricky and challenging. Nitin Goswami, currently starring in Deewani, exemplifies this phenomenon. He says he knows and understands himself well. “I only need four words to describe me - ‘I am the best’. Actually, I've known myself for a few years now, and I know that I think well. I understand my thoughts, so when any negative feelings or thoughts come, I change them to positive ones. Now, I know what kind of person I am—a very positive person. I always try to ensure that no one faces any problems or harm because of me,” he said. When it comes to our personalities, he believes we present different sides of ourselves to different sets of people. “Actually, in our industry, the first thing is that we act when we are in front of the camera. On different sets with different kinds of people, we learn how to behave accordingly,” he said.
“We want to talk nicely to people based on their roles—how to be with the director, spot boy, or producers. It all happens automatically. Wherever you go, you try to make sure that both you and the other person are comfortable. It's not about different sides; your body automatically reacts to the situation,” he added. Nitin also mentioned that there is a side of us we let out when no one is watching. He said, “When no one is watching, that's the real you. How you eat, how you sleep, how you dress, how you behave, and how you talk to yourself are all different. Automatically, you don't want to react the same way to others. I certainly don't want to.”
“There's a big difference between how I am in front of everyone and how I am when I'm alone. In front of others, I try to be something for everyone, ensuring they are comfortable with my vibe. But when I'm alone, I live for myself,” he added.
