Teachers are important: Taapsee
Actor Taapsee Pannu feels that her teachers have played an important role in shaping her personality.
She took to Instagram and wrote: “I was visiting Jaipur for an event and I remembered that my school (ex)vice principal is now Principal in a school of Jaipur. Couldn't miss this opportunity to meet her. What was unexpected was that her entire school came to meet me and kids were really sweet and inquisitive about a lot of things. School does play an important part in shaping up your personality and your teachers are the ‘karigars’ moulding the raw stones we all are.”
‘I am grateful to god for blessing me with my mother in this life, who has loved and supported me unconditionally and selflessly. She has been an incredible example of strength, dignity, ethics and love (to both Shamita and me). She has moulded us into the individuals we are today. She’s a beautiful, irreplaceable gift to us.’

Neha Kakkar, who is riding high on success of her songs in the industry today, says she had never thought she would reach where she has today.
“It feels great. I always tell people that I am still living in a dream. How can this happen? A small town girl from Rishikesh went to Delhi and then Mumbai. It (the journey) has been good. Never thought about where I have reached today,” Neha said.
“It feels amazing and I think even now I have to make it even bigger in life,” added Neha, who rose to prominence with the song Second Hand Jawani in the 2012 film Cocktail.
Elle wants to direct films
Actor Elle Fanning, best known for her roles in The Neon Demon and Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil, would like to explore the arena of direction.
“It's something that I want to do badly. I've just got to find the right story. What is it that you want to tell? Is it going to be personal? Is it not? Are you going to write it? Are you not? A lot of big questions. I will for sure one day,” Elle said.
She said about her quarantine routine, “I've been living with my sister (Dakota Fanning) and my family cooking and baking a lot. My sister has been doing paint by numbers. Everyone's embroidering. We're getting creative. I'm doing a jigsaw puzzle of Top Gun poster.”
