Neha Dhupia recalls taking 45-day-old daughter Mehr to Roadies set: ‘I asked for a break every 3 hours'
Neha Dhupia on taking 45-day-old Mehr to Roadies set
Earlier, Neha had voiced her support for Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift request on social media, calling it fair. She reiterated her support during the interview and said that if that's what Deepika wants—and deserves, given who she is—it could pave the way for change and benefit others as well. Neha also reflected on her own experience of balancing work and motherhood.
She said, "I was on the set of Roadies when Mehr was 45 days old, and I took her with me because I was still exclusively feeding her. And in that kind of environment, which is still not very comfortable—you have your support staff, but it's still not the same thing—you have to go and have that conversation with the people you're working with."
Neha Dhupia backs Deepika Padukone
She added, "I said that every three hours there would be a break because I'd need 40–45 minutes off for my child. Otherwise, my child would go hungry and I'd be uncomfortable—and they understood. So one has to be extremely sensitised when working with a new mum, because the demands change. It's not just her, but also her child. And I know she (Deepika) has already signed another project—so kudos to her."
Neha has been a part of Roadies since its thirteenth season. She welcomed her daughter Mehr in November 2018, and Roadies Season 16 began in February 2019. After Season 17, she took a break, during which Rhea Chakraborty replaced her as a gang leader in 2024. However, Neha made her comeback this year in Roadies XX. Although she didn't win the trophy, fans were thrilled to see her return.

Anant Ambani has India's best watch collection; Shah Rukh Khan's Met Gala 2025 watch priced at Rs 21 cr, Salman Khan also owns rare pieces
From high-end cars and superbikes to designer jewellery and luxury fashion, every Indian celebrity seems to have their own obsession. But if there's one thing a large number of A-listers are unanimously fixated on, it's luxury watches. Not only are they symbols of status and style, but they're also considered smart long-term investments. But what kind of watches do our stars own? Attesting that, here as well, Shah Rukh Khan is the undisputed 'king' among Bollywood celebrities, Karan Vaidya from luxury jewellery brand Rose told The Hollywood Reporter India that the watch SRK wore to the Met Gala 2025 cost USD 2.5 million (Rs 21 crore) retail, with its price in the secondary market ranking much higher. Reportedly, he wore a state-of-the-art Patek Philippe Grand Complications 6300G for the event. Although Shah Rukh Khan has been reigning over the Indian entertainment industry for decades, it was only in 2025 that he made his Met Gala debut. He arrived for the event in an all-black suit by Sabyasachi Mukherjee, which consisted of high-waisted trousers with kamarbandh, a black silk shirt, and a tailcoat. Vaidya stated that Salman Khan, too, has an amazing collection comprising a Patek Philippe minute repeater that's fully sapphire-studded. Calling Sanjay Dutt the 'OG watch collector' in Bollywood, he said that the Munna Bhai actor owns a Roger Dubuis Dual Tourbillon and a Rolex Leopard. Vaidya revealed that Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh also possess an amazing collection of watches. He, however, maintained that among all Indians, Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's son Anant Ambani has the best watch collection. 'Now, people are not just looking at what the standard watches that other people are wearing — because, of course, those are part of a status symbol — but truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. Indian celebrities are now really getting into watches,' he added. He also revealed that, unlike popular perception, Rolex is not part of the Holy Trinity of Watches, and the ones that are collectively referred to by this title are Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe. 'A lot of (foreign luxury) watch brands don't sell in India because the duty and tax structure is very high. The duty for wrist watches in India is 22 per cent, which is one of the highest in the world. In places like Singapore and Dubai, it's less than 5 per cent. Then, on top of that, we have a GST of 18%. And if the watch costs above Rs 10 lakh, then there's also a TCS of 1 per cent on the transaction,' he pointed out. A post shared by Pooja Dadlani Gurnani (@poojadadlani02) A post shared by Pooja Dadlani Gurnani (@poojadadlani02) Speaking about product placement in movies, Vaidya noted that it is done systematically in Hollywood, but not as much in Bollywood. 'For example, the makers of the show Made in Heaven partnered with Bvlgari where all their products were seen in different scenes. In Hollywood, the first product placement to have ever happened was James Bond wearing an Omega watch. That was very successful, and now, with every James Bond film, Omega launches a new watch. When the product is created specifically for the character, that works really well,' he pointed out.

How Arjun Kapoor Lost 50 Kg In 15 Weeks With A Simple Exercise And No Junk Food
Arjun Kapoor is known for his fitness, but that wasn't always the case. He lost the extra weight before he entered Bollywood in 2012. Did you know he was a 140 kg teenager? The Two States actor lost a whopping 50 kg before he made his debut in Bollywood opposite Parineeti Chopra in Ishaqzaade. Walking Played A Big Role In Arjun Kapoor's Weight Loss Journey Arjun Kapoor's weight loss journey took months of hard work. According to reports, it took him 15 months to reach his fitness goals as he had shared in now a deleted Instagram post. In an interview with the Times of India, Arjun Kapoor revealed that he relies on walking. "When I was fat and overweight, as a kid also, I believed in one thing: that there's nothing better than walking. Even today, when I want to lose weight, I just keep in mind to get out there and walk. Just be physically active. You cannot sit on your best eating food and then cribbing about the fact that you're not losing weight," he shared. According to The Indian Express, Arjun Kapoor, who once revealed that he is a foodie, gave up on junk food and avoided overeating to keep himself healthy and fit. He also avoids high-carb and sugary foods and swaps them with fresh fruits, vegetables, and high-protein foods. A Look Into Arjun Kapoor's Healthy Routine Reportedly, the 40-year-old has shared his everyday routine in now a deleted Instagram post: Arjun Kapoor had shared that his breakfast generally consists of high-protein foods such as eggs, after which he hits the gym. He has his lunch around 1:30 pm, which mostly consists of a Greek Souvlaki Wrap, after which he looks after his meetings and work calls till 5 pm. Arjun Kapoor enjoys an evening snack that comprises Turkey Sushi, which is high in energy, protein, carbs, and fibre. He hits the gym after that. For dinner, Arjun Kapoor has Turkish kebabs with muhammara sauce, mint chutney, and pickled vegetables. The Half Girlfriend actor included weight training, circuit training, CrossFit training, and cardio exercises in his workout routine. Arjun Kapoor Battled A Disease That Made Him Gain Weight In 2024, Arjun opened up about being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition that can slow down metabolism and cause weight gain. He revealed that he had sought therapy for mild depression in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India. "I haven't always opened up about it, but I also have Hashimoto's disease (the autoimmune disease damages the thyroid gland), which is an extension of thyroid. It's almost like I can take a flight and gain weight because the body goes into distress... your body is in fight-or-flight mode. "That (Hashimoto's disease) happened to be when I was 30, and I defied it and I said, 'No, this can't be'. My mom (Mona Shourie Kapoor) used to have it, and my sister (Anshula Kapoor) also has it... If I look back today, I can see myself and my body changing through the course of my films. Now that is 2015-16, that's seven-eight years of me holding that physical trauma and then my films not panning out at the same time," he said in the same interview. While Arjun Kapoor has lost more than 50 kg, his weight loss transformation is ongoing. He said in the TOI interview that his weight loss journey is a "work in progress".
