Headlines
such
as
famous
Bollywood
DJ
Aqueel
arrested
in
Dubai
for
carrying
drugs',
Saif
Ali
Khan
being
hospitalized
for
excessive
smoking,
makes
one
wonder
what
really
is
the
reason
that
our
celebs
resort
to
such
unhealthy
means?
Is
it
stress?
Or
is
it
their
rollercoaster
lifestyle?
We
all
are
aware
of
the
hi-end
lifestyle
that
our
Bollywood
celebrities
lead
but
what
we
aren't
aware
of
is
the
kind
of
pressure
that
these
celebs
go
through
to
maintain
the
starry
image.
Let
it
be
physical
attributes
to
aggressive
competition,
stars
have
always
been
under
scrutiny
for
their
slightest
of
follies.
Having
Media
like
hounding
dogs
to
pounce
on
you
for
every
wrong
statement
you
make
is
not
easy.
Unethical
grapevine
shamelessly
poking
fun
at
your
personal
life,
breaking
or
patching
your
relationship
with
your
partner
at
their
whims
and
fancies
is
not
funny.
Critics
are
ready
to
strip
you
for
every
performance
you
give
and
producers
reject
you
for
every
new
role
you
experiment
with.
And
you
thought
the
stars
had
it
easy.
And
if
this
weren't
enough
our
poor
bolly
fellows
have
millions
of
expectations
to
meet
up
to.
Well
being
in
the
spotlight
condition
that
they
find
themselves
in,
one
can't
help
but
take
up
to
habits
that
give
temporary
relief.
But
trust
our
Bollywood
stars
to
be
the
real
heroes
and
emerge
winners
in
the
toughest
of
testing
times.
With
recent
news
of
our
celebs
in
the
likes
of
Salman
Khan,
Dia
Mirza,
Katrina
Kaif,
et
all
turning
artists
and
growing
a
sudden
affiliation
towards
paintbrush,
makes
us
wear
the
thinking
hat
and
look
into
the
real
reason
behind
this
sudden
boom
of
hidden
talent
?
Can
this
art
be
a
healer
in
disguise?
Can
this
chosen
hobby
which
is
being
made
into
a
passion
prove
to
be
the
pacifier
that
also
helps
in
bringing
peace
of
mind?
Lets
take
a
closer
look...
Salman
Khan
and
Painting
-
We
all
knew
Salman
Khan
once
as
the
recluse,
rash
and
frivolous
person
that
he
was
famous
for.
But
off
late
people
have
started
taking
of
Salman
Khan
as
a
person
who
has
tamed
down
and
become
more
calm
and
patient.
Is
this
Salman
the
actor
we
talking
of
or
Salman
Khan
the
artist?
Scientific
studies
tell
us
that
art
heals
by
changing
a
person's
physiology
and
attitude.
The
body's
physiology
changes
from
one
of
stress
to
one
of
deep
relaxation,
from
one
of
fear
to
one
of
creativity
and
inspiration.
Well
with
so
much
going
in
Sallu's
life
after
Aishwarya
Rai,
a
career
lull,
the
hit
and
run
accident
and
depression,
maybe
Salman
did
best
what
he
could
do
and
resorted
to
art
in
form
of
painting.
And
painting
has
done
a
world
of
good
to
Salman
Khan
as
the
art
is
finally
responsible
in
changing
the
person's
attitude
and
emotional
state.
And
now
we
hear
Saif
Ali
Khan
too
is
taking
to
the
art.
Well
is
it
because
Saif
is
in
need
of
a
healing
phase
after
the
rough
patch
of
divorce,
and
break
up
with
his
girlfriend
Rosa?
Whatever
may
be
the
reason
behind,
we
surely
wouldn't
mind
buying
a
collector's
item
or
two!
Akshay
Kumar
and
Tai
chi Those
who
know
of
Akshay
Kumar
as
a
fitness
freak
know
of
his
extreme
care
towards
his
health
and
diet.
He
is
one
dedicated
actor
when
it
comes
to
fitness
regimes,
flexibility
and
training.
Known
to
carry
out
his
own
stunts,
Akshay
has
also
been
labeled
as
Bollywood's
Khiladi
No
1.
But
recently
Akshay
Kumar
was
heard
to
have
taken
to
Tai
chi
in
a
big
way.
Tai
Chi
known
as
the
healing
Martial
Art
promotes
the
circulation
of
chi
ie
life
energy
within
the
body,
encouraging
wellness
and
vitality
of
the
person
on
a
whole.
And
Akshay
is
not
only
seen
mastering
the
art
but
also
promoting
it
to
his
friends
and
loved
ones.
With
such
healthy
means
of
de-stressing
and
keeping
fit,
it
is
no
surprise
that
even
today
he
can
give
any
newcomer
a
run
for
his
money
Bipasha
Basu
and
boyfriend
John
Abraham
are
also
known
to
de-stress
by
hitting
the
gym
and
running
on
the
beach.
Isha
Koppikar
another
fitness
freak
loves
to
work
out
whenever
she
has
the
time
and
swears
by
kick
boxing.
