Yuvraj Singh's Courageous: Neha Dhupia

Yuvraj Singh is not just a great cricketer, but a fighter too. Soon after he was diagnosed with cancer, he made a statement saying 'it isn't a death warrant'... only shows what a gutsy person he really is!

And perhaps his ability to take things in his stride is what's helping him recover soon. After he was discharged from hospital the sport star tweeted: "3rd chemo cycles over, back from hospital n I am free. Road to recovery starts now. Can't wait to be back home."

Of the many congratularory messages he got from fans, one was from none other than actor Neha Dhupia, she tweeted: "Woken up to the great news of my friend @ YUVSTRONG12. He is on the road to recovery,n wil b bk soon. Wat an incredible display of strength!"

We couldn't agree more Neha. He's definitely courage personified and we wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on field soon.

Diet was a Four Letter Word at 17 for Neha Dhupia

Seventeen was a magical age when words like responsibility, weight loss and gymming hadn't yet crept over the horizon.

That was an age when I ate whatever I wanted, dressed to please myself and squash was still a game, not a workout. I remember being outdoors a lot playing basketball with friends, squash with my dad and practically living in the pool during the holidays. The season didn't matter, it was the season of fun and games.

Unlike those who live in Mumbai and have to rely on treadmills to walk, I had the advantage of having parks and boulevards where me and my girlfriends would go for strolls without a care in the world. Gym memberships were unheard of, and diet was a four letter word I hadn't heard of. All that changed when I won the Miss India contest and then joined films but I will remember those days with nostalgia but with much fondness.
