Madhuri offers free dance classes online
Actor Madhuri Dixit Nene feels that dance is one of the best forms of workout. As most people are locked in their homes now due to the nationwide lockdown, the veteran actor has teamed up with Kathak exponent Birju Maharaj and choreographers like Saroj Khan, Terence Lewis, and Remo D'souza to offer dance lessons on DancewithMadhuri.com.
Madhuri's online dance academy will give away two popular dance classes every week for free.
She says: “We want to provide people to relieve stress in the sanctity of their own home with an opportunity to relax and enjoy themselves. Dance is one of the best forms of workout, so it becomes a double bonanza to learn and get in shape,”
People asked me why I would choose to leave Canada to go to India when I don’t know anyone there. However, I have lived in many countries. So I’m a multicultural chick. So coming to India wasn’t scary. Also, being someone who is well-versed with Hindi cinema, I knew I wasn’t going to have any cultural shock.

Actor Anushka Sharma has had time for some reflection in life during the nationwide lockdown.
She says that she has realised, just having food, water, a roof over her head and the good health of her family are most important.
“Every dark cloud had a silver lining. And this time, while it may seem like the worst time and in so many ways it actually is, has also forcefully made us all stop and deal with things we might have been running away from, because either we were ‘busy’ or it was convenient to say we were ‘busy,’” Anushka said in a twitter post.
Daniel amused by the rumour
Actor Daniel Radcliffe says he was amused by the coronavirus hoax about him on Twitter.
The Harry Potter star became the first celebrity to become a coronavirus Twitter hoax when a tweet from a fake BBC News account falsely claimed that the actor had tested positive for coronavirus.
In an interview he said that he had been in hair and make-up before a play performance when the artist broke the fake news to him. He says, “I was quite amused by it. It’s not the first time I’ve had something crazy written about me.”
