  "account": "Malini Sharma, once a prominent Bollywood actress, has left the glitz and glamour of the industry to pursue a more organic and simpler life. After her role in the horror film Raaz (2002), Sharma gradually distanced herself from showbiz. She now resides in the Sahyadri Hills, where she runs a farmstay, cultivates vegetables, and hosts guests. Her decision to step away from the limelight came after she took up a role behind the camera in 2002, which she later abandoned. Today, she is active on social media under the name 'The Slow Local,' sharing her journey of growing organic food, crafting, and connecting with nature.",
