Celebrities have been regularly posting videos from their daily life activities during the complete lockdown. With many of them posting their home workout videos, Farah Khan had recently slammed them and said there were bigger things to do now than maintaining perfect figures.

Actress Deepika Padukone who had posted work out videos, has defended this in a Hangout video with film critic Rajeev Masand. “I know a lot of people have a problem with exercise videos that are going up,” Deepika said, “but to be honest, putting up exercise videos — rather, exercising, not putting up videos —it’s more about how you feel. It’s not really about how you look.”

Deepika and husband Ranveer Singh have been regularly posting about their life during the lockdown.

Other celebs like Katrina Kaif, Arjun Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sara Ali Khan, Malaika Arora and Shilpa Shetty Kundra have been sharing their workout photos and videos on social media.

She also told Masand that life with Ranveer during the lockdown has been easy. “He is the easiest person to live with in this scenario,” she said, adding that Ranveer sleeps for about 20 hours! , “For the four hours that he’s awake, we’re either watching a movie, eating, exercising. He’s a real joy to be with at this time. No demands, no hassles, he’s very easy.” She also added that while Ranveer never enters the kitchen, she is good with western cooking, Italian and continental.

The couple has been posting mushy photos and commenting on each other in some adorable posts. Recently, Ranveer shared a pic with his ‘home gym buddy’ Deepika and captioned it: “Double the endorphin-rush when she’s around’. And Deepika had a delectable reply to it. She commented: ‘you’re a snack’.
