Life is more than selfies: Shahid
Actor Shahid Kapoor, who is active on social media, urged people not to make virtual reality their “everything” as he feels there is more to life than that. He said, “Now a lot of kids are focusing on how they look and are spending a lot of time on it. We all are human beings, everybody wants to get dressed down. It is okay to wake up looking groggy. One should understand what matters the most. There is more to life than Instagram and selfies. Life is more than about looks.”
‘The film (Dhadak) brought a positive change in my life by bringing me together with some very special people. As for my professional life, more people have seen my work and hopefully that will have a positive effect on the opportunities I receive in the future.’

Mel B comes clean in drug test
Singer-actress Mel B agreed to submit to random drug testing to prove she is a fit parent, and she has come back clean. She was tested for drugs and alcohol thrice on September 6, 7 and 10. The results were negative for all of them, according to new documents. The results show she tested negative for everything — alcohol, marijuana, cocaine and addictive painkillers. She agreed to submit to the testing for a limited time as part of her ongoing custody battle with Stephen Belafonte. This came after a member of their household staff accused her of being an alcoholic and a sex addict who is unfit to retain custody of their children. Mel B strongly denied the accusations, and now has got her test results to back her up.
