'Sitaare Zameen Par': Riteish Deshmukh's Emotional Shoutout For Genelia's Big Win
In a recent conversation with Hindustan Times, Riteish opened up about how he addresses the presence of paparazzi around his children and the attitude he encourages them to maintain. He shared that his children play sports and are out on a daily basis. The paparazzi photograph them when they go out to watch their kids' matches.
He believes that everyone has to learn how to deal with it. 'You have to talk to the kids and ensure they don't feel entitled,' he added.
Why his children greet paparazzi
He believes that the media culture offers his children an opportunity to learn humility. 'The only thing I tell my sons is, 'Getting clicked is an honour. When the paps ask for pictures, you thank them for clicking and move on.''
He also emphasised that there is no universal rulebook when it comes to parenting under the public gaze. 'Just because one person does something doesn't mean others have to do the same. I think parents know what's best for their children. If people feel they don't want their kids to be in the media, it should be respected,' he stated.

No food, just water for 9 days: Nargis Fakhri explains her fitness secret but doesn't recommend it
After a break from the limelight, actress Nargis Fakhri has returned with the upcoming comedy film Housefull 5, featuring a star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, and Sanjay Dutt. While her film choices have been selective, Nargis has consistently been in the public eye for her health and wellness practices. In a recent interview, she revealed the unconventional method she uses to maintain a sharp jawline and glowing skin—fasting on just water for nine days, twice a year. Water-Only Fasting for 18 Days a Year Speaking with Soha Ali Khan on Hauterrfly's YouTube channel, Nargis shared details of her rigorous detox routine. She said she undergoes complete fasting—no food, just water—for nine days at a time, twice a year. While she admitted the results are visibly striking, with improved facial definition and skin clarity, she was clear that the method is extremely difficult and not something she would recommend to others. The revelation visibly shocked Soha during the conversation. Nargis acknowledged that many people search for quick fixes when it comes to fitness , but she insisted there is no shortcut to health. She said her own results come from a balanced approach rather than just extreme measures. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Most Gorgeous Female Athletes Ranked. But Did We Get It Right? Click Here Undo No Shortcuts, Just Consistency Nargis pointed out that her fitness isn't dependent on just one practice. 'It's always a combination,' she explained, referring to her regular habits like sleeping at least eight hours every night and staying hydrated. She also focuses on eating nutritious foods that are rich in essential vitamins and minerals. The emphasis, she stressed, is on long-term wellness rather than crash diets or quick solutions. Sleep, Hydration, and Meal Timing Other Bollywood celebrities have also embraced holistic approaches to health. Kareena Kapoor Khan, for instance, recently shared her routine of having dinner by 6:30 p.m. and maintaining an early bedtime. Veteran actress Mumtaz spoke in a Radio Nasha interview about cutting off meals entirely by 5–6 p.m. following a recommendation by Akshay Kumar. She also sticks to clean eating, regular workouts, and strict personal care habits. Mindful Living Over Fads Although fasting plays a role in Nargis's regimen, she made it clear that long-term discipline is what keeps her fit at 45. She focuses on quality sleep, hydration, and balanced meals. Her message aligns with what several celebrities now promote—a shift from fad diets to a more sustainable and realistic lifestyle. Nargis Fakhri made her debut in Ranbir Kapoor starrer Rockstar and later did roles in Madras Cafe, Main Tera Hero, and Housefull 3.

Producer of Akshay Kumar's Rs 300 crore box office flop has built and sold 45 buildings in Mumbai, owns a two-acre studio in London
Actor Akshay Kumar has had a difficult run at the box office in the last few years, with around a dozen flops to his name. His latest film, Housefull 5, did decently well but the film had a massive star cast to share the credit of the success. Before that, Kesari Chapter 2, did moderately well, as did the action movie Sky Force. But neither of them was a hit. Several of his biggest recent flops, films such as Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (BMCM), Mission Raniganj, and Bell Bottom, were all produced by Pooja Entertainment, the banner operated by Vashu Bhagnani and his son Jackky. The duo were under fire last year when many people who worked on BMCM alleged that they hadn't been paid for their services after the film flopped. Produced on a reported budget of Rs 300 crore, the movie made just around Rs 100 crore globally. The same was the case with Ganapath, starring Tiger Shroff, which made less than Rs 20 crore. In fact, the banner hasn't released a proper hit film in two decades. But the Bhagnanis don't rely completely on the movie business to earn a living. They also have a flourishing real estate and construction arm, and Vashu Bhagnani spoke about it in a recent interview. Chatting with Ronak Kotecha on YouTube, he said, 'I went to London in 2018, and I wondered what to do. So, I bought a building in Mayfair. Then, I made five or six movies there… I'm a developer. I don't believe in making money by investing your own money in projects. I make buildings like I make films… I'm the only person from Bollywood who has set up a studio in London. We have two floors with 60-foot high ceilings. It's a two-acre property, I have a VFX set-up there, I have vanity vans there.'

He continued, 'I can't even speak English properly. When I was going to London, my daughter told me, 'What will you do there? You can't even speak English properly, and you won't understand what they're saying'. I said, 'Let me try'. As soon as I landed, I set up a studio there. I made two buildings, and I made six films in five years. I used to make one building and one film, one building and one film. I've made 45 buildings in Mumbai so far, and they've all been sold. But I never sold the IP of my films. I still own my movies…' In the same interview, he spoke about the difficulties he experienced after the BMCM controversy. 'I was very upset by those stories. Imagine that I was actually bankrupt and I'd sold off my building. If I had actually sold it off, it would've been to pay people back, right? What's wrong in that? I'm not a corporate employee, I'm doing business. If I suffer a loss, I will have to make up for it. But people spun this into a negative story. They said I've run away, that I don't have money for food, that I couldn't even afford flight tickets,' he said.
