    In a shocking turn of events, Allu Arjun’s latest hit Pushpa: The Rise inspired a group of teenagers to commit a crime in Delhi. The three teenagers allegedly stabbed a man to death in the capital city on January 19, according to Indian Express. 
    They were so fascinated by Allu Arjun’s character in the film that they started copying his look and mannerisms. And wanted a life of crime for themselves. Besides Pushpa, web series Bhaukaal too fascinated them. 
    Police revealed that the victim was first beaten up by the three boys and then stabbed to death after he objected to them playing gilli danda. They also filmed their heinous crime and were about to upload it on Instagram to become “popular”. The victim has been identified as a 24-year-old man named Shibu Hussain.

    DCP (Northwest) Usha Rangnani said, “CCTVs near the spot were scanned and our team managed to apprehend the three boys within 12 hours. We feel we reached in time; the boys were about to post the video online. I saw it and it was brutal. We found that they were inspired by movies and wanted more followers on social media. They also wished to ‘inspire’ their friends by this act…”

    During the interrogation, the three boys revealed that they had recently watched Pushpa and Bhaukaal and “also followed many gangsters on social media. They wanted the same life. They didn’t seem afraid of being arrested; they believe they will be released in 3-6 months and can go back home,” an officer said. 
    Police also said that they were active on Instagram and often posted reels where they lip synced to Bollywood songs. In many posts they can be seen hurling abuses and talking about violence and guns.

    Reacting to the news, several people on social media called out films for glorifying violence. 

    One user tweeted, “So much glorified violence these days in movies. At least earlier the “bad” guys got punished nowadays they get rewarded.”
    Journalist and film critic Namrata Joshi tweeted, “Saying this the nth time & it’s sure to fall on deaf ears once again. All those who keep saying “but this is the reality”, how can cinema not show the negatives/problems in the society? Well, there is a difference between portraying the real for what it is & GLORIFYING it!” 
    She further wrote, “It’s not one criminal case that I would hold #Pushpa accountable for but how it seeps in, in a larger and more insidious ways. The pathology of success and the pathology of entertainment and the pathology of media celebrating it!”
    Another tweeted, “Also, the mindless justification "but this is what the ppl want"...so stupid! Cinema CAN be entertaining AND worthwhile, imparting a message without being preachy. Kumbalangi Nights, Cinemabandi, and Mandela are case in point.” 
    One person alleged that Allu Arjun’s whole filmography is problematic in the same sense, “Thanks for highlighting this.. there’s one thing call mirroring the reality and other is glorifying. Allu Arjun’s filmography boasts of such problematic depiction and Pushpa is no different.Yes, it’s technically brilliance and FaFa great as usual - bt the film is very problematic”.

    However, on the other side, one user replied, "I don’t think movies will impact people it’s all depends on individual people who see from their perspective . Hollywood movies are brutal if that’s the case and so called humanity bearers in west has no issues with those movies ."

    Another wrote, "It has less to do with cinema and more to do with ignorance and upbringing."

    Raise awareness to tackle the root cause instead of selectively picking films to outrage on twitter.

    Kartik Aaryan was just like any other outsider looking for his place in the industry. He followed the conventional path and moved to Mumbai to pursue his dreams of acting. It wasn’t an overnight success as he had to face countless rejections, stay in rented accommodations with other flatmates and the likes during his days of struggle.

    He is now a famous face in the industry and has many upcoming projects. Kartik was roped in for the Hindi dubbed version of Allu Arjun-starrer superhit film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. As many of Kartik’s fans are looking forward to watching the movie, it’s sad how his unprofessional behaviour has been called out again. In an exclusive chat with India Today, producer Manish Shah revealed that Shehzada actor Kartik Aaryan reportedly threatened to walk out of the remake if the dubbed Hindi version was released in theaters.

    It was earlier slated to release on the 26th of January. However, it got cancelled after producer Manish Shah had a meeting with the makers of Shehzada. Shah said, "The makers of Shehzda were not keen to release the Hindi version in cinemas. Also, Kartik Aaryan said if the movie was released in theaters, he would walk out of the film, which would have caused Shehzada producers a loss of Rs 40 crores. It was extremely unprofessional of him.” 
    Manish also added, "I have known Shehzada producers for 10 years. I cannot have people who are close to me losing ₹40 crores, so I dropped it. By doing this, I ended up losing ₹20 crores. I spent ₹2 crores only on dubbing. I wanted this film to be bigger than Pushpa: The Rise. If I do not release the film I will lose money, so now I am releasing it on my channel.”

    Making his stance clear, he stated, “I would not have done anything for Kartik Aaryan, I only did this because of Allu Arvind. Why would I do this for a Bollywood hero? I don't know him." 
    Shehzada is being produced by Allu Aravind (who also co-produced Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo) in collaboration with Bhushan Kumar and Aman Gill. This is not the first time that Kartik has been called out for his unprofessional attitude on the film sets. It was reported that Dharma Productions dropped him from Dostana 2 because of his unprofessionalism.  
    Reporting the development, DNA had earlier quoted a source close to the production house saying, “Dharma has decided to replace Kartik Aaryan in ‘Dostana 2’. Kartik expressed creative differences over the script of Dostana 2 after one and a half years. However, he completed nearly 20 days of shoot in 2019 after reading the same script and agreeing to it.” 
    The source also added that lack of clarity on dates by the actor was also another reason to drop him from the project.  “Also, lack of clarity on the commitment of dates from his agency is another reason. It has never happened in the history of Dharma Productions that an actor has shot a film for a while and then walked out alleging creative issues. Therefore, Dharma has decided to not work with Kartik Aaryan in future as well,” the source said.

    He was also in the news after he walked out from Shah Rukh Khan’s Freddie because of creative differences.

    Nine working hours. What’s that? Most people lose their sense of time while working from home. 

    If you’re working beyond hours but zoning out for the most part of it, you’re on your way to having another unproductive day. 
    How do you stop it? By building a routine. 
    We know that keeping up with an ideal timetable is challenging. So we won’t ask you to do that. But if you want to enjoy the high of achievement and productivity at the end of the day, just go by the step-by-step manual and soon, you’ll get into a groove. 
    1. Start With The Easiest With both work and workouts, the hardest step is getting started, which in itself consists of a series of tasks. Your ideal work routine can start with dressing up or pouring a cup of coffee, followed by switching on the laptop and checking your emails.
    In this list of tasks, try to associate one that you enjoy (drinking coffee and dressing up) with the other that you don’t always find fun (work).  
    Make physical movement every 30 minutes, even if it is to get a glass of water. The goal here is to establish a repeatable pattern.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__3021__
    2. Get InspiredRoutine isn’t always perceived as the most creative way of life but the brightest minds believed in its power. 
    Routine helps the brain to work on autopilot and it also allows you to tap into the headspace where you can push your brain to think beyond. 
    This requires inspiration, a motive and a few strategies like:
    Working from the same location.Full concentration for 20 minutes and then, a 5-minute break.Restrictions on the phone and social media usage for a set period of time.Drinks and snacks for the table to keep the creative juices flowing.__ECOMPRODUCT__3022__
    3. Consistency Is Your Master StrokeOnce a routine becomes your brain’s default setting, you can do the tasks you’d otherwise ignore with ease—workout, eating salad with every meal and saving money. 
    The only catch here is that you will need to show up consistently until a task turns into a habit. It could take weeks or even months but consider it an investment of a lifetime.

    4. Switch Off The Work World When you’re living at work aka working from home, a shutdown ritual is equally important. It’s an hour you take before ending your day to review every task or project you have completed. 
    Skim through your phone messages, inbox and calendar one last time to evaluate anything that needs your attention. Make a rough plan of the tasks you need to handle the next day and then, shut down. 
    After that, you do not answer work emails or even think about work. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__3024__
    The Bottomline The secret to building a successful routine might actually be “waking up early”. Wake up before the sun. Finish a couple of tasks like shaving, workout or journaling. Take a nap later.

    You won’t need your morning coffee if you start the day with a 10-minute stretching session.

    Scrolling aimlessly all night, pushing the snooze button as many times as the day allows, waking up tired are common side effects of working from home.
    That said, most of us are desperate to start our mornings on a positive note. And morning stretches, much like morning exercises, have been tested positive for that.
    So here’s a simple 10-minute morning stretch routine you can do without leaving the bed to activate your muscles, improve mobility, keep your mind calm and reduce overall stress. 
    1. Glute BridgesThis move is for activating your glutes which can tighten due to a routine that involves sitting all day. 
    2 X 10 reps
    Lie on your back with knees bent and feet on the mattress. Squeeze your glutes and lift your hips towards the ceiling. Note that your shoulders and feet should remain on the bed. Hold for two to five seconds, then lower your hips. 
    Good night’s sleep tip: If you’re looking to improve your sleep quality, try melatonin supplements:

    2. Toe CirclesThis one is to improve your ankle mobility and avoid falls. 
    2 X 10 reps each side
    Lie on your back. Grab one leg with both hands beneath the knee. Lift your leg until it’s perpendicular to the rest of your body. Rotate your foot 10 times in a clockwise direction and 10 times in the anti-clockwise motion. Move your ankle, not the toes. Repeat the same with the other leg.
    Good night’s sleep tip: Send a reminder to your body that it’s time to sleep by changing into comfortable PJs.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__2982__
    3. Straight-leg LoweringStraight-leg lowering works on chest and torso muscles while stretching the hamstrings.
    2 X 10 reps each side
    Keep your back flat on the bed with arms on the side. Bring your legs straight up above your hips. Keep one leg straight, gently lower the other one and stop an inch above the bed’s surface. Return to the starting position and repeat.   
    Good night’s sleep tip: Wearing pyjamas can improve your sleep quality by making your body warm quickly. 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__3017__
    4. Rib OpenerThis move is for strengthening your chest and back muscles by increasing mobility in the thoracic spine.
    2 X 10 reps each side
    Lie on your left side with the left leg straight. Lift your right leg to a 90-degree angle. Place your left hand on your right knee. Take your right arm across the chest and pull your chest to the right for a good stretch. Hold for two to five seconds. Repeat.
    Good night’s sleep tip: Reduce anxiety, relax and calm your mind naturally with the help of a melatonin, Brahmi and Tagar supplement.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__3018__
    5. V-Sit CrunchThis move is good for your abs. It helps build core strength.
    2 X 10 reps, take a 30-second break between sets
    Lie on your back with your hands extended over your head. Lift your legs and crunch up, forming a “V” shape. Exhale as you lift and inhale as you return to your position. Repeat. 
    Good night’s sleep tip: Ever tried valerian roots and chamomile gummies for better sleep? 
    __ECOMPRODUCT__1809__
    6. Knee HugsKnee hugs help stretch the hamstring and glute of the front leg and the hip flexor of your back leg.
    2 X 10 reps each side
    Lie on your back and bring your right knee towards your chest. Place your hands below the knee for support. Pull the right towards your chest while squeezing the left glute. Return to the starting position and repeat with the left side.
    Good night’s sleep tip: Wearing pyjamas can help maintain hygiene. Your body sheds skin even when you’re sleeping. PJs can prevent the shed skin from spreading all over the sheet.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__3019__
    7. Child’s PoseThis pose is useful when you want to stretch out your shoulders, which hunch over due to sitting all day.
    Take a kneeling position. Touch your toes together and sit on your heels. Keep your knees hip-width apart. Bring your torso down to your thighs. Place your hands on the bed and stretch. You’ll feel the weight of your shoulders. 
    Good night’s sleep tip: Fix your sleep cycle by controlling stress and balancing your hormones with melatonin and vitamin B6 supplements.
    __ECOMPRODUCT__3020__
    The Bottomline  Morning stretches may not make you sweat but they sure are a friend of your muscles. So don’t skip. Do the stretches regularly before you leave the bed.
