Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra on Filmmaking, Bollywood & Success | Delhi 6, Rang De Basanti | Podcast

In this inspiring 40-minute episode of Kahaani Abhi Baaki Hai, Tarana Raja sits down with the ever-radiant Shameem Akhtar — a yoga teacher, fitness guru, former journalist, and a woman who is redefining what it means to be fit, fearless and fabulous in your 60s. Shameem opens up about life after 60, the stillness that comes with age, how yoga cured her lifelong bronchitis, why Indian philosophies fascinate her, and how she entered the world of yoga very late — yet mastered it with Grace. Here’s a quick breakdown of the powerful insights you will catch: 🌟 1. Ageing Fearlessly Why Tarana calls Shameem the "poster child of being cool at 60," and how entering your 60s means you’ve finally defeated the “monsters in your head.” 🧘 2. Yoga Transformations Shameem talks about discovering yoga in her late 30s–40s, healing lifelong bronchitis, and understanding that yoga is not a workout — it’s a practice, a philosophy, and a direction for the mind. ✨ 3. Fitness Wisdom Her take on fitness in later years, recovery over intensity, and the two practices everyone should start with: Samarvriti & Pawanmukt Asana. 📚 4. Love for Indian Philosophies Shameem’s obsession with Indian mythologies, the curiosity she inherited from her father, and how philosophy shapes her everyday life. 💼 5. Career Switch & Courage From journalism at Times of India → sending a fax to Anand Mahindra → her first job teaching yoga at his factory → quitting journalism before “yoga” became cool. 🎨 6. On Hair, Colors & Self-Expression The difference between colouring hair for fun vs hiding greys — and why society needs to stop judging women for it. 😌 7. Trolls & Confidence Her iconic line: “I don’t bother. I don’t care enough to give trolls any power.” This episode is packed with life lessons, fitness insights, spiritual reflections, and refreshing honesty. Perfect for anyone looking for inspiration, balance, and a new perspective on ageing, fitness, and self-love.
