With a few endearing pictures of the BTown couple, she promised him a list of things. She swore to be a better listener, talk less, get ready before him, let Angad believe that his movie choices are better than hers, watch more test cricket, eat slow, run fast, keep her phone aside all day, and love him every day. Considering Neha, being the precious wife, wrote such a sweet note, many Instagram users appreciated her for the same.<\/p>\n
The Yellow Friendship of Ram Charan and A. R. Rahman
\nThe commitments of such global stars are to be inspired by! In the previous year, A. R. Rahman promised the authorities of Kadapa Dargah that the icon, Ram Charan would attend the 80th National Mushaira Ghazal event as the Chief Guest. Without any dithering, Charan promised Rahman, and he attended the event despite being reasonably busy with his schedule.
\nThe Green Promises of Charities by Bollywood A-Listers
\nPromises extend beyond a familiar bond with another person. Many Bollywood celebrities have pledged themselves to serve our society by associating with foundations to donate and raise money, simultaneously.
\nAlia Bhatt
\nIn 2022, Alia Bhatt shared an Instagram post where she declared her association with the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group to donate funds to the Salaam Bombay Foundation. The foundation strives to help adolescents from underprivileged backgrounds with secondary education, vocational skills training, and sports, arts, and media programs.
\nSonu Sood
\nThe actor, Sonu Sood, who chose to be a hero during the Covid-19 pandemic by helping the needy in every way possible, inaugurated his own foundation \u2018Sood Charity Foundation\u2019. The foundation has launched various programs over the years, some of which being \u2018Sonu For You\u2019 – India\u2019s largest blood bank, free delivery of oxygen tanks and cylinders, and a scholarship program called \u2018SAMBHAVAM – IAS Scholarship\u2019.
\nPriyanka Chopra Jonas
\nAside from being the National Ambassador of UNICEF India and joining the global Goodwill Ambassador team in the past decade, Priyanka Chopra Jonas strives to help women. She has put in a lot of effort to support children\u2019s rights and the education of underprivileged girls while raising awareness against the abuse of women.
\nDeepika Padukone
\nAfter her tragic history of going through Depression and Anxiety, the stronger and healthier version of Deepika Padukone founded \u2018LiveLoveLaugh\u2019 to help combat the stereotypes surrounding mental health by creating awareness and offering resources.
\nThe Grey Promise of Quitting the Habit of Smoking
\nFrom Shah Rukh Khan to Hrithik Roshan, many Bollywood A-listers have promised their loved ones to withdraw from the harmful addiction, and quit smoking.
\nShah Rukh Khan
\nPreviously, King Khan admitted to smoking up to 100 cigarettes a day, but he changed his trajectory. While he still feels breathless sometimes during the day, he promised his fans during his birthday event to smoke again and look after his health.<\/p>\n
Nawaab decided to quit smoking after he had a heart attack at the age of 36 after experiencing some serious chest pain. Saif opted for a healthier lifestyle as he not only stopped smoking but also stopped drinking in 2007.
\nArjun Rampal
\nArjun Rampal, who used to smoke from his good old days of boarding school, left the bad habit in the past. He decided to quit after he realized that his smoking was problematic for his son, Arik\u2019s lungs, while they were spending time in the Covid-19 lockdown.
\nHrithik Roshan
\nIn 2020, Hrithik declared himself a \u2018Non-Smoker\u2019 on Twitter, after releasing the life-threatening effects of smoking. His tweet said, \u201cIf I was Krrish, the first thing I\u2019d do after eradicating this virus would be to decimate eradicating this virus would be to decimate.\u201d
\nWhile some BTown celebrities decided to follow their promises, not everyone could. Few of the celebrities even promised \u2018forever\u2019 to their loved ones, which is not the truth, considering that life is not a typical Bollywood \u2018happy-ending\u2019 film. Bollywood has seen disastrous breakups, with controversies fueling the headlines, but this industry has also seen romantic lives, ending with smiles of\u00a0being\u00a0married.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
