Kareena Kapoor’s Simple Diet & Fitness Secrets Revealed
There’s no need for a special introduction when it comes to Bollywood diva Kareena Kapoor. With her evergreen charm and acting prowess, Kareena continues to compete with women in their 20s even today. She is known for maintaining a disciplined fitness regime and a healthy lifestyle, often hailed as the perfect example of “size zero.”
Recently, Kareena’s long-time nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar revealed some interesting details about the secret behind Kareena’s fitness. Rujuta, who has been guiding Kareena’s diet for several years, shared that the actress has been following the same diet plan for the past 18 years. Despite being over 40 and a mother of two, Kareena’s consistent routine is the reason she remains fit and graceful.
According to Rujuta, Kareena starts her day with dry fruits, followed by a workout session. Post-exercise, she refreshes and opts for poha or paratha for breakfast. For lunch, rice and dal are a staple on her plate. In the evenings, Kareena enjoys a cheese toast and seasonal fruits, especially mangoes during summer.
For dinner, Kareena usually prefers khichdi or pulao made with ghee. However, when she’s on set, her menu sees some adjustments. Rujuta mentioned that Kareena insists on eating khichdi at least five times a week, as she loves it deeply. Kareena herself has admitted on several occasions that she never gets bored of eating simple meals like rice, dal, and curd rice, even if her cook gets tired of preparing the same dishes daily.
Kareena also revealed that she finishes her dinner by 6 PM and makes sure to sleep by 9:30 PM. She jokingly said that her friends stopped inviting her to night parties because of her strict routine. By the time most people wake up, Kareena has already completed her workout. She added that many assume she eats quinoa and exotic health foods, but the reality is quite the opposite — her diet is simple, traditional, and sustainable.
Kayadu Lohar Joins Nani’s The Paradise as Bold Lead
The Paradise is fast emerging as one of the most talked-about projects in the Telugu film industry. Directed by Srikanth Odela, the film marks his second collaboration with Nani after their successful outing Dasara. Ever since its announcement, the project has generated considerable buzz, especially with Nani’s unique look featuring braided hair, which sparked widespread speculation.
Adding to the intrigue, the film’s female lead is now a hot topic of discussion. It is learned that Kayadu Lohar, who recently gained attention with her performance in Dragon, has been roped in to play the heroine opposite Nani. Interestingly, her character is said to be a sex worker, a role that initially deterred several actresses due to its bold nature and the requirement for significant skin show.
Despite the challenges, Kayadu was reportedly impressed by the script and the depth of the role, leading her to sign on. She has already commenced shooting, and her inclusion is expected to bring a new dimension to the film.
Furthermore, a Marathi actress is said to be portraying Nani’s mother in the story. The supporting cast includes Raghav Juyal, Mohan Babu, and Babu Mohan in pivotal roles. The film is being produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri, with music by Anirudh Ravichander. Sai (of Amaran fame) is handling the cinematography.
With such an exciting lineup, The Paradise is shaping up to be a bold and gripping venture in Nani’s career.
Lokesh Kanagaraj on Coolie, ₹50 Cr Pay & Rajinikanth’s Emotional Reaction
South India’s most celebrated filmmaker, Lokesh Kanagaraj, is gearing up for the release of his highly anticipated film Coolie, slated to hit theatres on August 14. As the release date approaches, Lokesh has actively stepped into the promotional circuit and shared some fascinating insights in a recent interview with a national media outlet.
When asked about the much-discussed reports of his ₹50 crore remuneration per film, Lokesh responded with clarity and confidence.
“Yes, I’ve heard about the ₹50 crore talk, and it’s a reflection of the success of my previous film, Leo, which grossed nearly ₹600 crore worldwide. Naturally, my market value grew, and this industry works on demand and supply. I believe I’m working hard and earning every rupee,” Lokesh stated.
On the promotional strategy for Coolie, Lokesh made an unconventional yet bold announcement — the film will skip the teaser entirely. Instead, the team plans to unveil the main trailer directly on August 2, a move that has already piqued curiosity.
In a heartfelt moment, Lokesh also shared an emotional experience with Superstar Rajinikanth, who plays the lead in Coolie.
“Rajinikanth Sir watched the final cut at the studio. After the screening, he stood up, hugged me tightly, and said the film reminded him of his Thalapathy days. That was a very warm and proud moment for me,” he recalled.
With such positive internal buzz and a confident promotional approach, expectations are sky-high for Coolie, especially with Lokesh and Rajinikanth joining forces for the first time.
Nagarjuna’s Surprise Entry in Coolie’s Monica Song
Akkineni Nagarjuna is all set to deliver one of his most impactful roles in recent times with his special cameo in Coolie, which is slated for release on August 14. As the release date approaches, several interesting details about the film are emerging — particularly about the newly released “Monica” video song.
Interestingly, this song was specifically crafted for Nagarjuna’s character and is set against a vibrant port backdrop. Nagarjuna, along with Pooja Hegde, will be the central attraction in this energetic number. However, the makers made a conscious decision not to reveal Nagarjuna’s presence in the lyrical video released a few days ago.
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, aware that Nagarjuna is the main highlight of the song, deliberately kept his portions under wraps to preserve the surprise for audiences in theatres. Instead, the video features Malayalam actor Soubin as the visual focal point, a smart move to maintain curiosity and build anticipation around Nagarjuna’s full-fledged appearance.
This strategic approach by the makers ensures that fans experience Nagarjuna’s charisma and energy directly on the big screen, enhancing the overall impact. With such thoughtful planning, one can expect Nagarjuna to deliver a memorable and electrifying presence in Coolie, especially through the “Monica” song.
Shubhanshu Shukla Returns to Earth from ISS
Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla and his fellow Axiom-4 crewmates are scheduled to return to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS) on July 15, following a successful 14-day mission in orbit. The crew will undock from the ISS aboard the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft at 4:30 PM IST on July 14, with splashdown expected approximately 22.5 hours later off the coast of California in the Pacific Ocean, around 3:00 PM IST the next day.
Shukla, who launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on June 25 and docked with the ISS on June 26, became the second Indian to travel into space after Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma in 1984, and the first Indian to visit the ISS.
Before undocking, the crew will carry out a series of critical procedures including system checks on the Dragon capsule, verification of life support, communication, propulsion systems, and a thorough inspection to ensure airtight seals between the spacecraft and the ISS. Under the supervision of veteran US astronaut Peggy Whitson, the team will also secure scientific research materials and personal items for the return journey.
Once all systems are confirmed ready, the Dragon will transition into undocking mode. The process involves the disconnection of power and data umbilicals, followed by a sequence of controlled thruster burns to safely separate the capsule from the station.
Over the course of the mission, the Axiom-4 crew completed more than 60 scientific experiments, contributing valuable data to research in microgravity. The return of Shukla marks a significant milestone in India’s human spaceflight journey and strengthens international collaboration in space exploration.
Genelia Returns to Tollywood with Strong Roles
Genelia, who etched a special place in the hearts of Telugu audiences as “Ha Ha Hasini” with Bommarillu, is all set to make a comeback to Telugu cinema after a long gap of 13 years. After her last Telugu film Naa Ishtam, starring Rana Daggubati and directed by Prakash Toleti, Genelia stepped away from the industry. Now, she’s ready to return to Tollywood.
Recently, Genelia made a notable appearance in Bollywood’s Sitare Zameen Par, starring Aamir Khan, where she played a prominent role. Encouraged by that experience, she has decided to seek more meaningful and substantial roles across industries. She has even expressed her willingness to audition for such roles, indicating her serious commitment to her craft.
Currently, Genelia is working on Junior, a bilingual film releasing in Kannada and Telugu, where she plays a significant role. Moving forward, she has decided to focus only on tailor-made characters that truly challenge her as an actress. In fact, she openly stated that she is ready to audition for the right parts, sending a clear message to directors that she’s open to earning roles on merit rather than reputation.
In a recent interview, Genelia shared some interesting insights:
“Many ask me why I should audition when I’ve already established myself as a senior actress. But I believe auditions help me find the right roles and prepare better. I don’t see anything wrong with it, and I’m happy to do it if it leads me to stronger characters.”
Her comments have earned her widespread appreciation, with many praising her dedication and passion for cinema. Observers believe it’s this mindset that led her to choose meaningful projects like Sitare Zameen Par for her re-entry.
Genelia’s next release, Junior, is slated for July 18, where she plays a pivotal role. She is hopeful that this film will open new doors for her in Telugu cinema, bringing her back to the forefront once again.
Deepika vs Priyanka: Tollywood’s Next Big Rivalry
Competition among heroines is nothing new in the film industry. It’s common for one actress to replace another or use behind-the-scenes tactics to secure roles. Such rivalry is especially evident among top actresses. In the coming years, a similar competitive dynamic is expected between Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, especially in the Telugu film industry.
Deepika made her Tollywood debut with Kalki, which turned out to be a massive hit and elevated her fame across the country. In fact, she gained more recognition through this Telugu film than through her recent Bollywood projects, both in India and internationally. Riding on this success, Deepika has now been signed opposite Icon Star Allu Arjun in his upcoming big-budget project. This film is expected to further solidify her pan-India stardom.
Meanwhile, Global Star Priyanka Chopra is set to make her Tollywood debut with SSMB 29, directed by the legendary Rajamouli. After considering several names, the makers finalized Priyanka, and her acceptance itself is a significant achievement. Despite being extremely busy with Hollywood projects and commanding paychecks in the hundreds of crores, Priyanka greenlit this Telugu venture. Bollywood has long tried to rope her in for major films, but her choice to work with Rajamouli has created massive buzz. The film is already touted as one of India’s most awaited projects.
Similarly, Allu Arjun’s film featuring Deepika is also gaining immense attention. If both these films turn into box office blockbusters, the craze surrounding Deepika and Priyanka in India will multiply. Subsequently, any new projects they sign will draw significant interest, particularly in Tollywood, where their rivalry could intensify.
A tug-of-war between the two for plum roles in Telugu cinema wouldn’t be surprising. Once this competition begins, it’s bound to have its share of consequences — and it might just escalate into a direct “who’s bigger?” showdown between these two powerhouse performers.
Anushka Shetty’s Low Profile Sparks Ghaati Movie Buzz
Since the beginning of the Ghaati shoot, actress Anushka Shetty has completely stayed away from the public eye. Not a single on-set picture has surfaced, and even though the film has wrapped up and is gearing up for release, no recent photos of Anushka have gone viral.
Recently, when the Baahubali team reunited to celebrate a decade since the film’s release, Anushka was notably absent from the event too. This has sparked various speculations on social media about her whereabouts — with some wondering if she still lives in Hyderabad or has shifted to Bengaluru.
Reports suggest that Anushka moved to Bengaluru immediately after completing the Ghaati shoot and has not stepped out of her home since. Others claim she might be abroad, while a few insist she is still in Hyderabad but is being careful to stay away from the media glare.
Adding to the intrigue, an interesting update has now emerged: during the Ghaati shoot, Anushka was required to undergo weight loss for her role. Despite several efforts, she reportedly couldn’t achieve the transformation the director desired. As a result, the team is said to be digitally altering her look using CGI for certain scenes.
To avoid any premature exposure of her current appearance, the makers are ensuring that no pictures of Anushka are leaked before the film’s release. If her present look were to come out, it might draw comparisons with her on-screen appearance, potentially leading to criticism. To prevent this, the team has reportedly advised Anushka to maintain a low profile.
As for promotions, sources indicate that Anushka may not attend any pre-release events. She is expected to share a video byte instead and might face the media only after the film releases. Whether these reports hold true remains to be seen.
Abhishek Bachchan Shuts Down Divorce Rumours with Grace
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have often been at the center of divorce rumours, but Abhishek recently addressed them with calm confidence. “Let people talk. It keeps them occupied. As long as I’m grounded and secure in my life, no one can shake me from the outside,” he said, shutting down speculation once again.
The Kaalidhar Laapata actor also reflected on his personal journey and aspirations. “My life is truly blessed. I was born to the biggest superstar of Hindi cinema, and my mother is one of the most talented actresses we’ve had. I have a wonderful wife and an intelligent daughter — what more could I ask for?” he shared.
Speaking about his career choices, Abhishek offered insight into his decision-making process when it comes to films. “What you feel when you say ‘yes’ to a project might not be the same when it finally releases. But the story is always the core — it has to resonate with you. Ultimately, films need to make money because it’s a business, and someone has invested in it. So, choose stories that connect with you, and if it caters to a niche audience, budget it accordingly,” he explained.
With a balanced perspective on both his personal life and career, Abhishek continues to chart his own path in the industry, unfazed by gossip or expectations.
