I am a 48-year-old independent woman, still at the top of her game and not slowing down anytime soon-Malaika Arora

On International Yoga Day, Malaika Arora says yoga is her way of life now

Kerala received its daughter with warmth, with young fashion influencers shouting, ‘I love you’ to Malaika Arora, who was in her home state for a salon inauguration. “I’m a good mix of north and south,” said the actress, who owes her Malayali roots to her mother; her father is Punjabi.

Malaika said that she used to speak a smattering of Malayalam at home in her childhood, but has lost touch now, though she still understands it well. “My mother’s side is from Alappuzha, so I’ve been here quite a few times. We still have family here,” she said, adding that she loved the local cuisine, like the puttu and kadala, which she’d had earlier that day.

ON BEING A BEAUTY BRAND AMBASSADOR AT 48
I think it says a lot about me. If you can look a certain way at a certain age, that speaks volumes for the way one goes about their life. I am very proud that I am a 48-year-old independent woman, still at the top of her game and not slowing down anytime soon.

MALAYALAM FILM FAN
It was a family ritual to watch Malayalam films together and I’ve grown up watching Mammootty and Mohanlal movies. To date, I feel some of the finest films, in terms of content, talent and technicians, come from here. That’s why you probably have so many remakes of Malayalam films.

Mirror (November 10) had earlier reported that after strolling incognito through the streets of Mumbai and watching the sun rise over the Maximum City, Oscarwinning Hollywood actress Halle Berry engaged in a tete-e-tete with her Bollywood counterpart, Dia Mirza at a suburban hotel last Thursday during the course of which they discussed everything from cinema, climate change and children to her idea of happiness and killer sharks.

Now, we have learnt that the Bond girl who is on her first visit to India, spent the weekend in God’s Own Country. She checked into the Carnoustie Ayurveda and Wellness Resort located at Mararikulam in Alappuzha on the evening of November 10 and left on the morning of November 12. She was accompanied by at least four friends, the resort staff confirmed to Mirror.

“She came here for ayurveda treatment,” a staff member informed, declining to give details whether it was rejuvenation or some other treatment. “She went around the places, including the local beach and temple. She was very happy during her stay.”

Reportedly, Halle had fun dancing with the youngsters in the coastal area and even enjoyed a house boat cruise. On Saturday evening she visited the Kanichukulangara Devi temple near Cherthala in Alappuzha. Nobody recognised her and the visit was kept confidential.

The Die Another Day star posted a picture from Kerala of a hand holding a goblet with the caption, “Time to WINE down.”

She landed in Mumbai on November 8 and after spending two days there she reached Kochi international airport on November 10 from where she and her friends headed to the beach resort in Alappuzha.

A little after noon on Monday she mused, “Sometimes the universe puts us in places where our souls most need to be in order to see more…”, leaving us wondering about her next stop.
