Riddhima Kapoor Sahni spills fitness secrets, lessons learnt from mother Neetu: ‘I have forgotten how to run on a treadmill'
Riddhima Kapoor Sahni recently revealed her fitness secrets, sharing that she has been consistent with her workouts, which her mother, Neetu Kapoor, has always advised her about. 'My mother always tells me, no matter what you do, just be consistent. Don't skip a workout. That's very important. Dedication. Do something that you enjoy, and stick to it. Like in my case, yoga works for me. Someone else may enjoy something else. So do that,' said Riddhima. She also opened up about her consistency with yoga. 'Whoever follows me on Instagram knows that I am very particular, very consistent with yoga. So, I try not to skip a workout. I work out 4-5 times a week. Yoga has been a part of my fitness journey since 2004. I wanted a change. When you are much younger, you want to do many things and try new things like going to the gym or swimming. But after Samara was born, I only stuck to yoga. I didn't do anything else. So, it's yoga, yoga, and only yoga for me. I don't even know how many years it's been that I haven't been to the gym. I think I have also forgotten how to run on a treadmill (laughs)! Jokes apart, I only do yoga,' shared Riddhima in a conversation with Fit Tak. She further shared that she incorporates weights along with yoga because that matters. 'It is very important and necessary that I do weight training as well. Usually, I work out with my bodyweight. That also definitely helps,' shared Riddhima. Dr Yogrishi Vishvketu, global yoga educator, author and founder of Akhanda Yoga Institute, stressed that combining strength training and yoga offers a holistic approach that honours both body and mind. The expert noted that strength training builds bone density, metabolic health, and functional power. 'It's essential for preventing age-related muscle loss and boosting long-term vitality. But alone, it can contribute to misalignments in the spine and joints if not counterbalanced,' said Vishvketu. This is where yoga steps in. 'Not to replace strength work, but to balance it. Through breath-led movement, intentional postures, and nervous system regulation, yoga enhances recovery, improves range of motion, and calms the stress response. It trains the practitioner not just to perform, but to listen,' he said. While strength training offers tangible gains, it's worth remembering that asana practices such as arm balances, boat pose, chair pose, and, in fact, any long-held pose, also build strength, he said. 'But in yoga, strength is cultivated alongside awareness, regulation, spine and brain health, and inner stillness,' said Vishvketu. According to him, the integrative approach reduces injury, sharpens focus, and makes fitness more sustainable.

Netflix to release decade-old K-drama that got its lead actor banned after massive popularity sparked messy court battle
Netflix has reportedly secured the rights to re-release Park Shin Yang and Kim Ok Vin's 2007 SBS K-drama that smashed records for the network at the time. Based on a webtoon, the series earned legendary status as one of the earliest to throw a spotlight on South Korea's brutal loan shark culture. Originally set for a shorter run, it was extended from May 16 to July 19 due to overwhelming fan demand. If you haven't caught on yet, keep reading. According to a Nate News update, the OTT platform is set to drop the K-drama War of Money, also known as Money's Warfare, in a restored high-definition format, almost two decades after its debut. Originally titled Jjeonui Jeonjaeng, the drama pulled in ratings that soared past the 36% mark, a rare feat then and even now. Officially recognised by the Financial Supervisory Service, it left a lasting mark on both the public and the entertainment industry with its unflinching portrayal of Korea's loan shark underworld. Also read: Taylor Swift says Travis Kelce served her 'chest hair' on baked bread; singer admits, 'his loaf tasted better than mine' Planned as a 16-episode run, the show's runaway popularity forced the directors to stretch it to 20 episodes plus a bonus, peaking at 36.3%. It set a benchmark in an industry dominated by soft-tone rom-coms, proving that fierce, gritty themes could bring massive audiences. While it's been streaming around a few domestic OTT platforms, this marks its first-ever global release on Netflix, part of the streamer's plan to expand its K-drama library, owing to the genre's sky-high viewership. While the show was a hit, it somehow led to its star Park Shin Yang, getting banned. When the actor first signed on for the drama, he was paid ₩45 million for each of the first 16 episodes. However, later, the director decided to make 4 more episodes, and by that time, the show had already gone viral, so Park hiked his fee and negotiated for ₩170 million per episode. The producers agreed at first, but later changed their minds, accusing Park of taking advantage. The actor then dragged everyone to court, and the court ruled in his favour. But it was after that that the Corea Drama Production Association (CODA) banned Park from appearing in any dramas made by its members. They claimed his high pay was more than what some production companies earned from broadcasters and said it was damaging to the industry. Fans around the world, about 5,600 of them, signed a petition against the ban. After being off TV for three years, Park was finally allowed to return in 2011.

But his life slams into its biggest wall when he's forced to face his father's massive debt, a burden that pushes him to the edge, nearly ready to end it all as loan sharks torture him. The chaos sends his mother into shock, she collapses and is rushed to the hospital. Desperate, Na Ra applies for a bank loan, but no one will touch him. His jealous boss sees the opportunity and twists the knife by firing him. Unable to pay the hospital fees, his mother dies. His sister is forced into a salon job, and Na Ra himself has to break up with his girlfriend in exchange for cash from Cha Yeon's disapproving grandmother, Madam Bong. Convinced now that everything bad in his life is happening because of money, Na Ra begins to see it as his greatest enemy, and to beat the enemy, he decides to become one. He soon jumps into the loan shark business, learning the strategies, secrets, and cutthroat philosophies of the trade, eventually locking horns with the top sharks in the business. While the drama also carries romantic threads for the star, its core stays locked on the dark, twisted turns of Na Ra's rise in the underworld.

'Womaniser, Ignoring Daughter': Mohammed Shami's Ex-Wife Makes Shocking Claim
Last Updated: Hasin Jahan alleged Mohammed Shami spends lavishly on his girlfriend, from luxury flights to pricey school fees for her kids, while refusing to bear daughter Ayra's education costs Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami has once again landed in controversy after his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan, alleged in an Instagram post that he did not want their 10-year-old daughter, Ayra, to be admitted to a good school. Ayra has secured a place in a prestigious international school, but Hasin Jahan accused Shami of neglecting her education in favour of his girlfriend's children. She alleged that Shami prioritises the education of his girlfriend's children and lavishes them with expensive luxuries while neglecting Ayra's needs. 'The enemies did not want my daughter to get admission in a good school, but Allah foiled their plans, and she has secured admission to a very good international school," she wrote on Instagram. Hasin Jahan has accused Shami of lavishly spending on his girlfriend, from booking luxury business class flights to paying for her children's admission to expensive schools, while allegedly refusing to bear the cost of their daughter Ayra's education. Hasin Jahan reportedly receives Rs 4 lakh per month in alimony from Shami, including Rs 2.5 lakh specifically for their daughter's expenses. 'The father of my daughter, despite being a billionaire, is playing with her life because of womanizing, while educating his mistress's children in elite schools. He spends lakhs on business class flights for some mistresses but claims he has no money for his own daughter's education," she wrote on Instagram. Mohammed Shami is set to make his comeback in the 2025 Duleep Trophy ahead of the Asia Cup. After a modest IPL season with Sunrisers Hyderabad, he was left out of the England tour. Shami married Hasin Jahan in 2014, and their only daughter, Ayra, was born in 2015, but their relationship has been marred by public allegations and legal disputes. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
