Kajol sets the monsoon mood in a hand-illustrated Torani sari with a vintage twist
(Image Credits: Instagram) Kajol Devgan consistently curates event-appropriate outfits, and we eagerly anticipate her every arrival. Draping the magic of monochrome with a hint of nostalgia and unexpected depth, she is steadily redefining what fashion means. No complaints here, she's our go-to inspiration whenever we face a wardrobe crisis, especially when it comes to saree choices. Her recent sartorial selection had us retaking notes. She wore a black and white floral-printed saree from Torani that hinted at the growing shift in Indian fashion. With blooming vintage notes on the bodice, the stunning georgette and butterfly-net base featured hand-illustrated floral and bird motifs in ivory, black, and white tones. (Image Credits: Instagram) The nostalgia screamed through every detail: chevron frames, stripes, and polka dot magic along the borders, accented with fine embroidery and subtle sparkle. She completed the look with a matching lace-detailed strappy blouse featuring a sweetheart neckline, structured just enough to shape the silhouette. The blouse's modest and subtle design let the saree take the wheel. Star-Studded Style! A Look at Celeb Outfits From Sonakshi Sinha & Zaheer Iqbal's Wedding Reception But this wasn't just another drape, it was a metaphor. The black and white palette draws attention to the quiet simplicity of fashion as an art form, laced with sleek emotion. The print may seem archival, but it carries a nostalgic charm that feels warm and cosy. It's a classic noir drama, the kind you would find tucked away in old family photo albums, yet with a raw and modest elegance. (Image Credits: Instagram) Kajol didn't stop there. She added weight and edge to the look with an oxidised choker, breaking the monotone without disrupting the overall vibe. Keeping things beautiful and minimal, she styled her hair in a low bun, leaving a few strands loose at the front. She carried a luminous base, not too loud and opted for brown smoky eyes with a precise stroke of kohl and eyeliner. Her fluttery lashes, flushed cheeks, and brown nude lips tied the look together perfectly. So tell us, don't Kajol's fashion diaries deserve to be gushed over?

This actor transformed himself to become one of the biggest Bollywood stars; he managed to lose 50 kg for debut role!
Arjun Kapoor is another actor who becomes the picture-perfect story of how determination and willpower can get you to your end goal. The actor's transformation and journey into stardom are nothing short of inspiring. Arjun Kapoor's 50 kg transformation The actor, who won the hearts of many with his 2012 debut film 'Ishaqzaade', had undergone a lot of challenges and issues before he was even fit enough to take on the role. Previously, the actor used to weigh almost 140 kg. In a conversation with Hindustan Times, the actor had shared how he had managed to lose so much weight for his debut role alongside Parineeti Chopra . He had shared that, 'Before I started, I lost around 50 kgs. I was in my 20s then, I went from 143 kgs down to 93 kgs. But 10 years later, my body has changed. I have had injuries, health issues, workload, etc. But it's not that I'm not mentally capable. It might take me longer physically to do it, which is why it has taken me 15 months to get into shape'. Though this feat was not achieved without its own set of issues. The journey took a whopping 15 months, as revealed by the actor himself in an online post. Though the story now stands deleted, his ambition still remains as an inspiration for many. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Donating Sperm May Support Your Income SpellRock Undo He has also talked about his weight loss journey in various interviews, where he has detailed what kind of restrictions he had to limit himself to. In an Indian Express interview, he shared that even though he was a foodie, he gave up almost everything and cut out junk from his life in order to get where he is today. He shared that instead of processed foods, he opted to keep his diet natural and full of high-protein foods. When talking about the one thing he focuses most on when losing weight, he emphasised the importance of walking. In an old Time of India interview, the actor shared, 'When I was overweight as a kid, I believed in one thing: there's nothing better than walking. Even now, when I need to shed weight, I make sure to stay physically active. You can't just sit around eating and complain about not losing weight'. What foods does the actor eat? In a deleted post, the actor had even talked about his regular meals and shared what he eats in a day to maintain his health. He talked about how he has eggs in the morning along with gym, and then has lunch at 1:30 pm. He usually has a Souvlaki Wrap, after which he attends to other matters till 5. His snacks include Turkey Sushi, and dinner goes on to Turkish kebabs with a nutritious sauce/chutney. Dealing with Hashimoto's disease A possibly unknown fact about the actor's life is that he also suffers from Hashimoto's disease. He shared in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India that he suffers from the disease and that it is very easy for his body to gain weight. He cited that even taking a flight can trigger the 'fight or flight' response in his system.

(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) As the recently released film 'J.S.K – Janaki V v/s State of Kerala', headlined by Suresh Gopi , is getting decent reviews, a wave of attention is building around actor Ratheesh Krishnan , who plays a key role in the film. Speaking to ETimes, Ratheesh opened up about a powerful experience during one of the most intense scenes, "One of the most memorable moments during the shoot of 'J.S.K' was during the courtroom scene, where I had a combination scene with Suresh Gopi sir. The first single take went well, the second one was good too, and when the third take was also approved, Suresh Gopi sir clapped. That was followed by applause from the entire set. For a beginner like me, it was a huge boost and an unforgettable moment.' A role that came unexpectedly Ratheesh's role as Tony wasn't something he initially had in hand. Recalling how it came together, he said, 'My character Tony in 'J.S.K' actually came into my hands quite unexpectedly — and that's the real truth. It wasn't a role I was initially cast for. I had gone to the film's puja function and requested a role, but I was told there wasn't anything available as the roles had already been filled. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pune: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo However, many people supported me and vouched that I would be a good fit for the character.
