					<description><![CDATA[As Actress Pooja Bedi is not vaccinated, and is Covid positive she is taking 17 herbs to get well ]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Actress Pooja Bedi, who was recently tested positive for Covid-19. She has revealed, why she and her fiance Maneck Contractor have chosen not to get vaccinated.Furthermore, she said that she is ‘not anti-vaccine’ but the Covid-19 vaccine ‘is too new’.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pooja also added that she has been having ’17 herbs kadha (also known as immunity booster drink)’ as a recovery measure.After being tested Covid-19 was positive. Pooja Bedi shared an Instagram video on Sunday evening which informed that Maneck Contractor and their house help have contracted the virus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She had also said that she will allow her immunity, alternative healing and wellness practices to accelerate her healing.In an interview with Mid-Day Pooja said, “I’m not anti-vaccine. I’ve taken and also given my kids every tested vaccine from MMR, BCG, Tetanus to HPV etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fastest vaccine took seven years to develop. This is too new. There are still some question marks about this Covid vaccine. And, then the need for two and now three vaccines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems a bottomless cycle of vaccines I don’t wish to enter. I don’t wish to inject a trial vaccine into my body. 99% of those who were infected, survived before the vaccine.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to sources, Pooja also spoke on her Covid-19 challenges and the recovery measures she has been taking. “The cough and weakness are… oh my god.! I can see why people call this monster flu.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m so fortunate to be in a home with gardens and sunshine and greenery. It’s deeply healing. Not many had the privilege of that. So I’m very grateful…Having 17 herbs kadha.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s a phenomenal blend. Fresh fruits, sugarcane juice, coconut water, protein, easy-to-digest food, saltwater gargles, steam inhalation, balm on the chest.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She also said that the rest of her family. Which also includes her children Alaya F and Omar and her father actor Kabir Bedi have been vaccinated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She said, “They have been on my case for a long time to get vaccinated,”&lt;br /&gt;
Further, she added, ” Maneck is part of ‘awaken India movement’. Adding that ‘they are completely anti the vaccine agenda, and it being a tool of discrimination against the unvaccinated’. “Maneck and his entire family are not vaccinated.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sharing her Instagram video, Pooja had said, “COVID POSITIVE!!!! I have finally been diagnosed as COVID positive. I chose/choose to stay unvaccinated as it’s my personal decision.&lt;br /&gt;
To allow my natural immunity and alternative healing and wellness practices to accelerate my healing. You do what’s right for you. Each to their own. Caution. Not panic.”&lt;/p&gt;

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Pooja Bedi has tested positive for Covid and has shared a video expressing hopes that her “natural immunity” will assist her to recover. Pooja Bedi, who had been vocal with regards to her “choice” of not taking the Covid vaccine, has educated fans that her fiance and housekeeper have also tested positive for the virus.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I know I have been vocal about not taking the vaccine. For me, it was a choice that I took. I know that my immunity will naturally rise and I want to rely on my natural immunity. Each one of you, go make your own choices, this is my chronicled journey,” Pooja Bedi has said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a video that she posted online on Sunday, Pooja said, “Hello everyone! I have been wondering why I have not got the coronavirus till now. It is so infectious and everyone, at some point, is going to get it. Well, voila! Seems that I have now caught it. I have tested positive.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She then, at that point, proceeded to uncover that she had been cleaning her cupboards and thought it was her dust allergy. Notwithstanding, when it got worst, she went for the test and tested positive for Covid-19. “It is quite the virus that kind of knocks you out, I have been passing out a lot.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pooja Bedi added, “We must know that 99% of people who caught coronavirus before the vaccines came out have survived. And, 99% post the vaccination have also survived. We need caution, not panic. The fact is, we have tools and aids on our side.” Pooja also said that she is taking fresh fruits, steam inhalations, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sharing the video, Pooja wrote on Instagram, “COVID POSITIVE!!!! I have finally been diagnosed as covid positive. I chose/choose to stay unvaccinated as it’s my personal decision to allow my natural immunity and alternative healing and wellness practices to accelerate my healing. You do what’s right for you. Each to their Caution. not panic.”&lt;/p&gt;

Karthik had shot for the film with Jahnavi, but now after the exit from the film, a new actor will be cast, who is looking for Karan Johar. After Karthik’s exit from the film, the actress has reacted to Pooja Bedi and has kept her point.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;auto&quot; data-removefontsize=&quot;true&quot; data-originalcomputedfontsize=&quot;16&quot;&gt;After Karthik’s exit from the film, Karan Johar started being trolled on social media. Karthik’s fans were saying that this is going wrong with the outsiders. On the incident of nepotism in Bollywood, especially with Karthik, Pooja Bedi said that there are equal opportunities for everyone. He told that I also had to audition for the show Masaba Masaba. People envy those who have a certain privilege.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;auto&quot; data-removefontsize=&quot;true&quot; data-originalcomputedfontsize=&quot;16&quot;&gt;Pooja Bedi further said – If an actor’s child wants to work in the same industry, then it is wrong to accuse him of nepotism.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;auto&quot; data-removefontsize=&quot;true&quot; data-originalcomputedfontsize=&quot;16&quot;&gt;Pooja said that there are many stars who are outsiders and they have created their own identity on their own. He said- There are many stars like Preity Zinta, Sushmita Sen, Aishwarya Rai, Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit who came in the industry without background and now have become an icon. We also have many people who were part of the industry but could not get that position. Kumar Gaurav debuted with a brilliant love story but his career could not progress further.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div dir=&quot;auto&quot; data-removefontsize=&quot;true&quot; data-originalcomputedfontsize=&quot;16&quot;&gt;Pooja Bedi said that my daughter Alaiah F also had to face many rejections, after which she got an opportunity to work with Saif Ali Khan and Tabu in Jawani Jaanaman. Let us tell you that Alaya has stepped into Bollywood from the film Jawani Jaanman. His acting was well-liked. Alaa has also been awarded several awards.&lt;/div&gt;

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Pooja bedi continued to take criticism for her tweet urging people to live freely instead of being ‘caged and masked for a year / years in fear of a virus that is clearly not going away’. She responded to a Twitter user demanding action against her for violating Covid-19 standards by not wearing a mask, reminding her that several politicians are guilty of the same.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“@DGP_Goa @Coll_SouthGoa @Coll_NorthGoa @spsouthgoa @spnorthgoa Celeb is telling people to break covid protocol on Goan Beaches &amp; has posted her video of proof of mask less violation, kindly issue her fine as per law,” a user wrote.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In response, Pooja wrote that Goa is not on lockdown. She added: “Obviously no one will wear a mask while eating, drinking (on a plane, in a restaurant or in public places) or taking a photo / video.” She also asked the man if all politicians pictured without masks at public events should be arrested: “Politicians across the country have been seen posing without masks at functions. Do you want to stop them too?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When a Twitter user asked if Pooja wanted people to go out and “spread the disease,” she replied, “Not at all. U should be careful .. but free your mind from the psychosis of fear. If there is no lock in your condition … heal and strengthen your immune system with nature / sun walks and exercise. Your immunity is your best friend. “&lt;/p&gt;

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Jaaved Jaaferi and Pooja Bedi recently opened up about their short-film ‘Padmavyuha’ directed by Raj Krishna, which portrays different indices of religion. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Jaaferi who has a short role in the film revealed that the thing which he liked about the film most is it’s non judgemental approach to the issue. While talking about it more Jaaved said, “I did it for Raj, I respect the intention and objective he has with the film. I like how he has told the story, keeping it neutral so that there are no judgments here. I saw the film and then he told me I would like you to do the voice and I wasn’t very apprehensive – ‘oh, what am I doing it is just a voice’ . Because when I saw it, I realised it (the voice) is an integral character. I have always been doing a voice and I think voice can have an impact if done in the right way, just like it is used in an impactful way in this film. “&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Film Padmavyuha was screened at International Indian Film Festival Toronto last week, which talks about a professor of Religious Studies who receives a mysterious call, who initially being a non-believer of faith and religion later becomes a staunch follower and is ready to do anything to for it, by hook or crook. Jaaved has given his voice over to the person who calls professor, the character which is played by an American actor Nikhil Prakash.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jaaferi also stated “I do not think it is an outsider view in the film. It is not an opinion, it is an out-of-the-box perspective, without being judgemental. The film offers a perspective. And I think that is very important – unlike what we see on Indian news channels – those are all biased opinions – this is one just a perspective. What I really liked about the film was that it did not pass any judgement. You can take what you believe, from it. “I think when it comes to something like this, a neutral perspective serves best purpose. I think all these questions are very potent. You don’t give the answers but raise the questions, which is very important. I think that was the beauty of it.” as put by Hindustan Times. Pooja Bedi who also has a role in the film of a woman who has been missing since a long also gave her opinion saying “I think it was also vaguely ambiguous because if you take any religion, it would all still apply. It is an exploration of morality.“&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Raj Krishna while talking about Padmavyuha said, “I think I am making these films because I want to explore and understand Hinduism. I am a second generation American Indian (my mom is a Hindi teacher and that is how I know how to read and write Hindi). This is also my way of connecting with my heritage and that part of world.The film is an exploration of faith at its highest level. A religion studies professor has lost his faith and receives a call late night that takes him to a mysterious path. It leads him down a dark path that leads him to mystic puzzles and those puzzles lead him to a discovery of a global conspiracy. That conspiracy also reveals to him some new information about the history of Hinduism. Padmavyuh is a number of things – it is a mystery thriller, it is a Da Vinci Code style of a religious, mystery, puzzle. It is an exploration of faith, it is an exploration of religious fundamentalism.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
