Luke Coutinho on Shilpa Shetty as a mother: not just supper stars
MUMBAI: The Season Opener of Not Just Supper Stars had Shilpa Shetty Kundra, who juggles her multi role as a mother, a fitness enthusiast and an actor came along with her fitness coach Luke Coutinho to talk everything personal including her secrets on balancing work and family life. Available as part of the Zee Prime English Pack, Zee Café recently telecast the premiere episode of Not Just Supper Stars, hosted by Stand-up Comedian Gunjan Utreja, with new episodes coming every Sunday at XXPM.
The trendsetter and fitness idol, Shilpa Shetty Kundra chatted with Gunjan Utreja, on her life and things she wants to accomplish. She mentioned, “There’s so much more to do in life, I am still learning, and this is just the beginning. There are multiple things on my bucket list which I would want to do, like a course in nutrition or being able to do a full split”. She also talked about her passion in pursuing various activities as she said, “I think when you are doing something, do it with all your heart, be it celebrating a festival or eating food, or just living life. Do it to the fullest!”
When asked on how she is with her family, she added, “I have two very different sides to me, one is the ‘actor me’ and the other is the ‘mother me’. I want everything in place.” Luke added, “She is a hands-on mom, she may have that help around, but she has control over her chores, and I think she is a fantastic example of having a great career but not at the expense of your child.”
Commenting on Luke’s capacity to rehabilitate cancer patients, Shilpa Shetty revealed, “Luke’s USP is the fact that he is able to rehabilitate cancer patients, and he does that with so much love and unconditionally. Those are the things he does not compromise on and the value of what we put into our system means something to him.”

Ellison takes his Paramount-Warner Bros case straight to theater owners
The Skydance chief goes to CinemaCon with promises and a skeptical crowd waiting
CALIFORNIA: David Ellison strode into a room packed with thousands of cinema owners and executives at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Thursday and did something rather bold: he looked them in the eye and asked them to trust him.
The chief executive of Paramount Skydance vowed that his company would release a minimum of 30 films a year if regulators greenlight its proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros Discovery, a deal that has made theater owners deeply, and loudly, nervous.
“I wanted to look every single one of you in the eye and give you my word,” Ellison told the crowd. “Once we combine with Warner Bros, we are going to make a minimum of 30 films annually across both studios.”
It was a confident pitch. Whether it landed is another matter. Cinema operators have already called on regulators to block the deal, and scepticism in the room was hardly concealed.
Ellison pushed back by pointing to recent form. Paramount, born from the merger of Paramount Global and Skydance Media last August, plans to release 15 films this year, nearly double the eight it put out in 2025. Progress, he argued, was already underway.
He also threw theater owners a bone they have long been chasing: all films, he pledged, would run exclusively in cinemas for a minimum of 45 days, drawing applause from a crowd that has spent years fighting for exactly that commitment across the industry.
“People can speculate all they want,” Ellison said, “but I am standing here today telling you personally that you can count on our complete commitment. And we’ll show you we mean it.”
Fine words. The regulators, however, will have the last one.
