THE key to a long-lasting relationship is getting hot and steamy.

A new study has found that singing in the shower with your significant other can strengthen the bond between lovers and even reduce the chance of divorce.

The combination of foam and songs leads to the release of the hormone dopamine, the ‘feel-good’ neurotransmitter, in the brain.

Sex and relationship expert Rebecca Dakin said: “True intimacy isn’t just about sex. There are a whole host of wonderful ways you can strengthen your bond.

“From folding sheets to washing dishes naked, there are many ways Cupid’s arrow can keep the flames smoldering.”

Below, Rebecca reveals her top tips. . .

DRAW a portrait of your partner. Really pay attention to their features.

It can be naked or otherwise. You will see them in a whole new light.

1. Do the dishes together. . . naked!

It will turn a monotonous chore into a bonding experience.

However, make sure that hot water does not splash on the intimate parts.

2. Eat dinner blindfolded.

Take turns serving your partner different foods, textures and flavors.

It can be an exciting sensory and sensual experience.

3. Go skinny dipping – don’t get caught.

Or consider taking an ice bath together, as it releases adrenaline and is a great bonding experience.

You feel completely alive afterwards.

4. It may sound strange, but a frightening activity can release oxytocin, the bonding hormone.

So go on the zip line, watch a horror movie or ride a ghost train together.

When you are afraid, your love becomes stronger.

5. LET your partner shave you.

This works for men and women.

It is a connecting experience on two levels, because it is intimate and because there is a knife, it confirms your trust.

6. DANCE together to cheesy music.

Remember a hit from your school days and enjoy a boogie and a kiss and pretend you’re 16 again.

It’s a taste of the forbidden and it’s also very hot.

7. FOLD the laundry together.

Not only does it give loved ones time to talk, it also shows that you support each other when it comes to the more mundane things, which will deepen your bond.

As you fold the sheets, kiss as you get up close and personal.

8. Take a pottery class together and take a moment to cuddle like Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore in the movie Ghost.

It’s intimate and creative and you make something together – all great for keeping the romance alive.

9. Go shopping and choose an entire outfit for each other – including the underwear.

You might be surprised.

It can help you push each other out of your comfort zone.

10. GET an enlarged photo of you together on your wedding day or a similar memorable event.

There are plenty of companies online that can turn that image into a puzzle.

Then spend a night putting the puzzle together and reminiscing about the day.

Kartik Aaryan may be helming the Bhool Bhulaiyaa series now, but making it bigger than ever is Vidya Balan, who has now returned to play the iconic role of Manjulika in the third part of the series.

New Delhi: The Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise just got bigger Vidya Balan returned home with her iconic role 'Manjulika'. The actor will reprise her old role in the film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 which is set as the big Diwali release this year. The movie with Kartik Aaryan in the lead role is directed by Anees Bazmee. On Monday evening, Kartik broke the internet by making the big announcement as he welcomed Vidya on board. “And it happens that Og Manjulika comes back to the world of BhoolBhulaiyaa. Super happy to welcome @balanvidya ‍ This Diwali is going to be crackling #BhoolBhulaiyaa3 (sic),” he wrote while announcing the return of 'OG Manjulika' to the franchise.

This also marks Vidya's first collaboration with Kartik and Anees. The actor was appreciated for playing the role of Manjulika, an alternate personality of a woman named Avni, in the 2007 film, which also starred Akshay Kumar, Ameesha Patel and Shiney Ahuja in important roles. It was a Hindi remake of the 1993 Malayalam film directed by Priyadarshan.

Vidya's fans have gone crazy hearing about the big announcement. Netizens flocked to the comments section of Kartik's post to express their excitement. One user wrote: “Yay.. can't wait to see this combo!!! (sic).” Another said: “The Crossover everyone has been waiting for is finally a reality! (sic).” One user said: “This is going INSANE! Can not wait!!! ‍(sic).”

Can it be even bigger?

Vidya's return to the Bhool Bhulaiyaa world is good news for the fans. A section of fans expressed their disappointment over the casting when the makers did not rope in Vidya Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Tabu played the role of the T, but fans kept missing Vidya. Commenting on her absence from the film, the actor shared Bollywood Hungama that she did not want to comment on whether or not anyone offered her the film. Vidya emphasized that it was a completely different film and they only kept the title. “I think it would be very unfair to wonder whether this is possible. Bhool Bhulaiyaa was great and I think even though they use the title, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is a completely different film. But I would like to see it,” she said.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Ultimately, it collected Rs 185.92 crore net in India and Rs 221.33 crore globally. The film was the first hit after the Box Office drop after the pandemic. It didn't take long for the makers to announce the third film in the franchise. Now it seems all the more interesting to give it a Diwali release. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 can't get any bigger now. We are excited about the film. Are you?

A young mother-of-two has tragically died after a “routine” surgical abortion at a Melbourne women's clinic.

Harjit Kaur, 30, had just landed a new IT job at footwear giant Nike and was preparing to buy a family home with her husband, Sukhjinder Singh, where they could raise their four-year-old daughter and two-year-old son.

But their plans were thrown into disarray when she discovered she had accidentally become pregnant in early January.

The busy mother felt that she was not mentally, physically and financially ready to have a third child, so the couple made the difficult decision to have an abortion.

After consulting with a doctor, they scheduled the surgery – which is considered a minor procedure – for January 12 at the Hampton Park Women's Health Clinic, in Melbourne's south-east.

Mrs Kaur messaged her husband at 12.57pm that Friday as she headed to the operating room, assuring him she would call after her procedure.

Instead, it was Ms. Kaur's surgeon, Dr. Rudolph “Rudy” Lopes, who called Mr. Singh just over an hour later.

“He told me the procedure was successful, but while they were taking her to the general ward, her heartbeat stopped and an ambulance was there to resuscitate her,” Mr Singh said.

'I don't know how I drove my car there.

“I tried to enter the general ward but they stopped me and asked me to stay outside. Five minutes later the doctor came to me and said, “I'm sorry your wife is dead.”

'I was dead then. My life was destroyed in a second.

Mr Singh described the poignant moment he was finally allowed in to see his wife for the last time.

'I begged her to come back [the sake of] our little children,” he said.

An investigation is now underway to determine Ms Kaur's cause of death, with police and the coroner involved in the case.

Daily Mail Australia understands that Dr. Lopes has voluntarily stepped down pending a possible surgical cause of death.

With many crucial questions yet to be answered, Mr Singh is left alone to raise two children after the death of his 'super healthy wife'.

In a cruel twist of fate, Ms. Kaur originally planned to have a medical abortion, which involved taking a drug to abort the fetus.

However, during consultation with a nurse, she was told that the procedure would result in heavy bleeding and pain that could last up to 30 days.

Ms Kaur was also told there was no guarantee it would work, in which case surgery would be required.

“After all that, Harjit got scared and told me it seemed risky. [She said] How do I deal with this bleeding while I am at work and caring for our children? And there is still a risk,” Mr Singh said.

'[That’s when] she decided to have surgery instead. The nurse explained that it was very safe and that she would be able to go home in a few hours.'

Mr Singh said he and Ms Kaur married in 2018 and settled in Australia to “give our children a good life”.

Now without her he has no idea what the future will look like for their family.

“She was so young and healthy,” he said.

'She has fought for a better life all her life. She was so excited to move into her new home. She had many dreams.

'How am I supposed to take care of two children and manage my work myself?

'How am I going to pay off our mortgage? What should I say to my children when they ask about their mother?

“I am completely destroyed.”

a GoFundMe has been set up to support Mr Singh with funeral costs and while he takes time off to be with his children, with community members rallying to raise almost $45,000 so far.

In a letter written by the Hampton Park Women's Health Clinic, and sighted by Daily Mail Australia, medical director Dr Michelle Kenney noted that Ms Kaur had visited the clinic for a 'routine minor gynecological procedure under anaesthesia'.

“The procedure and anesthesia were uncomplicated, but due to unforeseen circumstances, Mrs. Kaur died after the procedure,” it reads.

'CPR was commenced immediately and continued for 45 minutes. Unfortunately, our team (working with MICA paramedics) could not revive Harjit Kaur.”

In a statement to Daily Mail Australia, Dr Kenney said: “Despite our best efforts, we were unable to save Ms Kaur.”

“My employees have all received and received guidance.”

Daily Mail Australia contacted Dr. Lopes for comment.

A former high school student in Florida demanded that the co-founder of the conservative activist group Moms For Liberty resign from the school board — not because she had a threesome, but rather because she was “terrible” at her job.

Bridget Ziegler, a close ally of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and a strong voice against LGBTQ rights, was forced to attend an excruciating December 12 meeting of the Sarasota County School Board, on which she also sits.

The board meeting was used to outline allegations that she had had a threesome with another woman and her husband, and that her husband, chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, had been accused of rape.

Since the allegations emerged, Christian Ziegler has retained his position as GOP chairman but has been stripped of his salary and authority.

The GOP heavyweight’s wife sat with a straight face at the school board meeting and was confronted by Zander Moricz, a former class president of Pine View School who is now at Harvard.

Moricz, who is gay, said Ziegler should resign because she was not qualified to serve on the school board.

“Bridget, our first ever interaction was when you retweeted a hate article against me from Nationalist when I was a high school student in Sarasota County,” Moricz said.

“You don’t deserve to be on the Sarasota County School Board, but you also don’t deserve to be kicked out because you had a threesome.

“That undermines the lesson we were trying to teach you, which is that a politician’s job is to serve his community, not to police his personal life.

“Bridget, you deserve to be fired for being bad at your job. Not because you had a threesome.”

Moricz, who now runs a nonprofit that encourages young people to get involved in politics, is a plaintiff in the “Don’t Say Gay” lawsuit against DeSantis and the state of Florida.

Ziegler was instrumental in crafting the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, which prevents discussion of LGBTQ issues from kindergarten through third grade, and only in a limited way with older students. Critics like Moricz say it is an attempt to remove gays from society.

Moricz accused his school’s administrators of censorship in 2022 after he was told he could not refer to his activism or sexuality in his graduation speech.

In his speech he referred to sexuality with the euphemism ‘curly hair’.

At its Dec. 12 meeting, the school board voted to remove Ziegler, but the vote was non-binding.

DeSantis was able to force her out, but the school board stopped writing him to request her removal.

Her husband, meanwhile, may face possible removal from office at a Jan. 8 rally in Tallahassee. On December 17, he was censured by the party.

The incident, which according to the police report took place at a home in Sarasota, was reported to police in early October.

The accuser, who has known Ziegler for 20 years, told police that when Bridget backed out of the plan to have sex, she sent Christian a text saying, “Sorry I was mainly after her,” according to an affidavit .

Later that night, the woman claims she discovered Ziegler outside in the hallway as she left her apartment – and claims he then entered her property and raped her.

Weeks later, detectives began monitoring Christian Ziegler’s calls and messages to the accuser, the affidavit said.

‘Where are you? Do you want to meet and chat? Worried about you. You are my friend,” Ziegler allegedly wrote in a message via Instagram.

“No, not after what you did to me,” the woman replied. “Don’t you understand that I’m terrified of you?”

A 911 call obtained by the Florida Center for Government Accountability made by a friend of the alleged victim shows she confided in the friend about her rape.

“She told me she had been raped,” the friend told the dispatcher on October 4.

“She says she’s scared, that the person who raped her has come to her house, so she’s scared to leave… I’m worried about her now,” the friend explained.

In text and phone conversations tracked by investigators, Ziegler offered the woman “financial assistance” before he suspected they were being recorded.

Ziegler’s attorney, Derek Byrd, said in a statement: “We acknowledge reports that Mr. Ziegler is under investigation by the Sarasota Police Department.”

He said his client has “cooperated fully” with police.

“We are confident that once the police investigation is completed, no charges will be filed and Mr. Ziegler will be fully exonerated.”

Bridget Ziegler has not commented on the trio, nor on the allegations against her husband.

Menaria’s partnership with opener Ankit Kumar, who scored a fluent 88, set the stage for Haryana’s challenging total.

Rajkot: Haryana won the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023 in a pulsating final on Saturday after beating Rajasthan by 30 runs at the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) Stadium here.

The gripping encounter featured a remarkable century from Rajasthan opener Abhijeet Tomar, who fought valiantly against a formidable Haryana bowling attack but ultimately fell short in a challenging chase.

Rajasthan looked to be in control, needing 76 runs from the last 10 overs with five wickets in hand. However, a path-breaking performance from Haryana’s Harshal Patel turned the tide. Patel’s crucial wickets of Kunal Singh Rathore and the great Ajay Singh, along with the disciplined bowling of Rahul Tewatia and Anshul Kamboj, turned the momentum in Haryana’s favour. Rajasthan, who were initially cruising, suddenly panicked and collapsed, falling 30 runs short of Haryana’s total of 287 for 8.

Ashok Menaria, in his first season with Haryana, played a crucial role in both lifting the trophy and anchoring the innings. Menaria’s partnership with opener Ankit Kumar, who scored a fluent 88, set the stage for Haryana’s challenging total. Despite Menaria’s departure after a well-constructed innings, late contributions from Nishant Sindhu, Rahul Tewatia and Sumit Kumar showcased Haryana’s batting depth.

Aniket Choudhary, Rajasthan’s standout bowler throughout the tournament, impressed again with figures of 4 for 49. His early swing and consistent lengths provided a challenge for Haryana’s batsmen. Sumit Kumar, who had earlier contributed with the bat, continued his fairytale evening by dismissing key Rajasthan batsmen including the dangerous Deepak Hooda.

Rajasthan’s innings suffered early setbacks at 12 for 3, but Abhijeet Tomar’s resilient century and contributions from Karan Lamb and Kunal Singh Rathore kept them in the match. The strategy of taking the match deep almost threw Haryana into turmoil but experienced bowlers like Harshal Patel and Rahul Tewatia rose to the occasion and sealed the win for Haryana.

For Ashok Menaria, the triumph had added significance as he secured the title against the team he had represented with distinction for over a decade, adding a fitting chapter to his illustrious career. Ultimately, despite being so close, Rajasthan felt the sadness of falling just short in the thrilling final.
