Madhuri is a strict mother
Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit, a doting mother to two sons — Arin and Raayan — is strict when it comes to their healthcare. She says she never lets them go to bed without brushing their teeth, no matter how tired they are. “There is one thing that I am really strict about my kids and that is (making sure that they are) brushing teeth twice a day. No matter how tired they are or how late they are arriving after attending birthday parties, I make sure that they brush their teeth,” she said.
“I think that is very important. Brushing teeth for two minutes every morning and night is very important,” said the actress.
Madhuri, who married Sriram Nene, a doctor, in 1999, also feels that “a family is very important in Indian culture” and it is necessary to have a healthy family.

Actress Preity Zinta, who returned to India from the US, has offered apologies for refusing to speak to journalists who were waiting for her arrival at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. “I would like to apologise to the media, but it will not be possible for me to make any comments or statements as investigation is still on,” she wrote on a social networking site. While the Mumbai Police still awaits to record her statement on the molestation case she filed against Ness Wadia, the actress has not shared any details on that as yet.
Sting’s fortune not to go to kids
Musician Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner CBE, better known by his stage name Sting, says none of his 180 million pound fortune will be left to his children. The 62-year-old grew up in a working class family in Wallsend, North Tyneside, and it seems he wants his six kids to have an idea of what that is like, and not to be privileged all their lives. “I told them there won't be much money left because we are spending it. We have a lot of commitments. What comes in we spend, and there isn't much left,” said Sting. “I certainly don't want to leave them trust funds that are albatrosses around their necks. They have to work. All my kids know that and they rarely ask me for anything, which I really respect and appreciate,” he added.
