Too much pressure on actresses to look a certain way: Kajol


                                          “But after a point you will see me in my pajamas. It is something innate in me.

“But after a point you will see me in my pajamas. It is something innate in me." 

The actress, who faced criticism for her public appearances in the beginning of her career, says she's not bothered by what people think.

Bollywood actor Kajol, returning to the big screen after a gap of five years withDilwale, believes there is too much pressure on actresses to look good, often taking the attention away from their work.
“There is too much pressure to look a certain way and it is wrong. Somewhere down the line you don’t have a life beyond that. Every morning you are getting up and getting dressed. It takes the attention away from your work,” Kajol told PTI in an interview.
The actress, 41, faced criticism for her public appearances in the beginning of her career and though her style sense has evolved over the years, Kajol is still not bothered by what people think about her looks.
“There is too much importance attached to it but at the same time it is there. You can’t get away from it. You can adapt to it or not. You have to take a stand... I have figured a way around it so I am comfortable with it myself. I don’t exactly make a fool of me in public anymore.
“But after a point you will see me in my pajamas. It is something innate in me. I can’t be bothered about everybody’s opinion.”
Kajol’s look in her upcoming film Dilwale is getting her a lot of appreciation from fans and the actress is happy that things have worked out well.
“I know for a fact that I am looking good in the film. The reaction has been overwhelming... Everything has turned out well and it has been great. The reaction has been fantastic. Manish (Malhotra) has done the clothes in the movie,” she says.
There were reports that she had a fall out with the designer but Kajol dismisses it with a hearty laugh. “We are too good friends to have differences.”
Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol make one of the most successful on-screen pairings in Bollywood. Rohit Shetty’s Dilwale, slated to release on December 18, will reunite them for the seventh time and the actress says it was one of the reasons for her to do the movie.
“I liked my character in the movie and thought I could do something with it and Rohit was directing the film. I have known Rohit for years and the fact that SRK was producing and starring in it. It has to be a combination of everything to say yes.”

The first stethoscope

By
René Laennec, a French doctor and inventor was born 235 years ago today, and Google has marked his birthday with a Doodle. Dr Laennec's importance to modern medicine was guaranteed by his invention of the very first stethoscope in 1816. Here are five things you (probably) didn't know about him : 1. Dr Laennec's stethoscope bears little semblance to the modern stethoscope. Unlike those used today, Dr Laennec's stethoscope was not a set of ear pieces connected by a plastic tube to a chest piece. His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his  1819 treatise  on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

"EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...
