Kiara Advani 'War 2' body transformation: How desi protein gave her that fierce, fit look
No dry chicken salads here. For lunch and dinner, Kiara had grilled chicken, asparagus, baby potatoes, edamame pesto hummus, and avocado, all paired with Indian-style chicken curries and light veggie sides. Her nutritionist made sure the meals matched her intense training and shoot schedule. In short, clean eating, but with full-on flavour.After a sweaty gym session, most celebs reach for protein shakes or fancy bars. Not Kiara. She turned to the humble sattu chaas, a cooling drink made from roasted Bengal gram flour, cumin and coriander. Nicole called it the 'perfect natural rehydrator', a clever and nutritious nod to her Indian roots. This age-old drink helped her refuel while keeping bloating at bay.Let's not forget why this transformation matters, Kiara's action-packed role in War 2. Gone are the days when actresses were just romantic interests. In the War 2 trailer, Kiara is seen charging through gunfights, aiming at Hrithik Roshan and owning intense hand-to-hand combat scenes. Yup, she's not just romancing, she's RAGING.Starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, and directed by Ayan Mukerji, War 2 promises edge-of-the-seat action and a new kind of female lead, one who looks graceful and throws a solid punch. The film hits cinemas on 14 August 2025, and it looks like Kiara is about to steal more than just hearts.

Asha Bhosle recalls backlash to bold songs like Piya Tu Ab To Aaja and Dum Maaro Dum: 'Majrooh Sultanpuri left the studio and told me, ‘Beti, maine ganda gana likha hai'
Asha Bhosle has lent her voice to some of the most iconic songs in Hindi cinema, from the sultry Piya Tu Ab To Aaja to the rebellious Dum Maaro Dum and the dreamy Yeh Hai Reshmi Zulfon Ka Andhera. But in a recent interview, the legendary playback singer revealed that many of her bold tracks didn't just raise eyebrows, they were outright banned on Indian radio. 'Why do I only get the bold songs?' Asha once asked RD Burman Speaking to Republic Bharat, Asha Bhosle recalled confronting her late husband and composer RD Burman, fondly known as Pancham Da, about his song choices. She questioned why she was repeatedly given provocative numbers, while her elder sister Lata Mangeshkar received the softer, more 'respectable' melodies. 'I once told Pancham, why do I only get these bold songs while the nice songs go to Lata Didi?' she said. But RD Burman stood firm. He had faith in Asha's ability to make such songs iconic. Regarding Piya Tu Ab To Aaja, from the 1971 film Caravan, she remembered him confidently telling her that the song would be a huge hit. 'I have written a bad song,' said Majrooh Sultanpuri and walked out Interestingly, Asha also shared an anecdote involving renowned lyricist Majrooh Sultanpuri, who penned Piya Tu Ab To Aaja.

In fact, they were censored. 'My 3–4 songs would get banned from Bombay radio,' she revealed, pointing to the conservative broadcasting environment of the time. Another of Asha's landmark tracks, Dum Maaro Dum from Dev Anand's Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971), also stirred controversy. Despite the film's anti-drug message, the song was accused of glamorising smoking and hippie culture. As a result, All India Radio banned it, and Doordarshan edited the song out when the film was aired on television. Over the decades, however, these songs have come to define the bold, experimental era of Hindi film music, with Asha Bhosle at the forefront, unafraid to lend her voice to songs that pushed boundaries.
