,' Glaser did not hesitate to call out all the double standards in society regarding weight-related views.
'Oh, I love it, I love. I'm like, do it, do it. I have no judgment. If you want to do Ozempic, hell yeah, girl,' she said, adding that she wants more people to be comfortable while using the drug. 'I feel like there's, like, this shame—and the shame is only from thin people who want you to stay fat. Like that's really where it's coming from,' the comedian added.

That's more what it could be about, I think,' Glaser concluded about Ozempic.
What is Ozempic?
Ozempic, generically known as semaglutide, is the approved drug for type 2 diabetes in adults, where it helps to lower blood sugar levels. However, it's not an officially approved drug for weight loss. 'When using Ozempic to treat diabetes, weight loss is a common side effect. It is designed to be taken long-term,' according to Davis Health, University of California.

The Taste Of Words, The Colours Of Sound
Can words be tasted on the tongue? Can sounds be seen as coloured shapes? Such questions are not hypothetical, nor are they psychedelic hallucinations. They refer to a well-documented neurological condition called synesthesia , in which the senses of taste, and sight, and sound, synthesise and intermingle to form a new sense or senses, which are a combination of two separate anatomical perceptions. Medical science does not generally deem synesthesia to be an aberration needing treatment or corrective therapy, but describes it as a consistent and spontaneous neural response to external stimuli by which two senses are simultaneously evoked. In the very rare case of lexical-gustatory synesthesia , sounds or words can stimulate the sense of taste, so that the auditory is imbued with flavour, the ear invokes the edible. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Access all TV channels anywhere, anytime Techno Mag Learn More Undo The common form of synesthesia is chromesthesia , in which sounds assume colour and can be visualised in chromatic arrangements of shapes and elaborate patterns. Far from being a disability, synesthesia of both kinds is often associated with increased memory, creativity, and linguistic skills. Was Marcel Proust an undiagnosed synesthete, who wrote his seven-volume, 4215-word, monumental novel, Remembrance of Things Past, considered one of the great landmarks of world literature, inspired by the recollected taste of a madeleine cake eaten in his childhood? None of Proust's several biographers has made such a connection, but recorded synesthetes include vastly different musicians and composers, like Duke Ellington, Franz Liszt, and Jean Sibelius; writers and poets like Vladimir Nabokov and Arthur Rimbaud; and painters such as Vincent Van Gogh. Such creative geniuses and many others similar to them, whom inattentive history has ignored or overlooked, have experienced the everyday commonplace world in ways that are unique. They could see sounds as colours, taste the texture of words. What Aldous Huxley called The Doors of Perception, the title of his 1954 book, in which he narrates his experiences under the influence of mescaline, are widened when consciousness is enhanced, by the use of hallucinogens as in Huxley's case, or through mental disciplines like meditation, or by naturally occurring neurological conditions, such as synesthesia. Could some of those singularly enabled individuals whom we refer to as mystics, or sages, or seers, people who literally see the world differently from us, be synesthetes, or be endowed with any other alternative form of sense perception? The Buddha is said to have attained enlightenment while sitting beneath the Bodhi tree, the fig-like fruit of which is rich in serotonin, a neurotransmitter that can alter the way we feel and think. Was the Buddha a synesthete? Consciousness derives from the messages that nerve cells called neurons pass to each other through infinitesimally tiny points of communication known as synapses. There are estimated to be between 86bn and 100bn neurons in a human brain. Each neuron can have hundreds or thousands of synapses, making for an assumed total of 15tn conduits of neuron messages. The minutest of changes in this infinitely complex neurological system can lead to unimaginable differences in the way that we perceive the world. It is this single thought of the limitlessness that lies within us that can provide all of us with a sixth sense: the sense of wonder.

Vaibhavi Merchant hails Karan Johar's vision after winning for ‘Dhindhora Baje Re': 'He made it all possible.'
Acclaimed choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant has once again made her mark in Indian cinema. At the latest 71st National Film Awards, she was able to add her second National Award for Film Choreography, once again for the spirited dance number "Dhindhora Baje Re" from 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' featuring Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh ! After 'Dholi Taro' Vaibhavi takes home another National Award after 25 years Vaibhavi received her first National Award 25 years ago, in 2000, for the iconic 'Dholi Taro Dhol Baaje' from 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'. And, over 20 years after revolutionizing cinematic dance with memorable tracks like 'Kajra Re', 'Aaja Nachle', 'Crazy Kiya Re', and 'Kamli', she has another honor to add to her long list of accolades. On August 3, Vaibhavi took to Instagram to share an emotional note, describing the moment as "extremely special." She wrote, 'As an artist, there is no greater honor than being recognized by the government—when they value and celebrate your art. To receive the National Award for 'Dhindora Baje Re', 25 years after 'Dholi Taro', I am truly overwhelmed and beyond words.' She extended heartfelt thanks to Ashutosh Gowariker , the Chairperson of the Jury, the other esteemed members, and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for recognizing her work. Vaibhavi also expressed deep gratitude to Karan Johar, director of 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani', calling him the man who made it all possible. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mix 3 Kitchen Ingredients, Wake Up Thinner Every Morning Get Fit Today Click Here Undo 'Thank you, Karan, for bringing this story to life and allowing me to be a part of something so meaningful,' she said. Vaibhavi's post was a dedication not only to the cast—including Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi , Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, and Tota Roy Chowdhury—but also to the innumerable contributors behind the scenes: assistant directors, background dancers, choreographers, technicians, and spot boys. She referenced family, particularly her mother, and defined her as Vaibhavi's "loudest cheerleader and quietest strength." Why Dhindhora Baje Re is special? What made Dhindhora Baje Re particularly close to her heart, Vaibhavi explained, was its deeper spiritual and artistic essence. 'It's a tribute to Durga Maa and everything she represents—strength, grace, and divine energy,' she shared. She described the choreography process as one filled with purity and passion—a return to classical roots and a celebration of storytelling through movement. According to her, the fusion of tradition and cinema in the song made the experience unforgettable. She also praised the commitment of Ranveer Singh and Tota Roy Chowdhury , who convincingly tried the classical dance form even though they are not trained in the form. 'That's the magic of trust, dedication, and love for the art,' she wrote. 'To see them immerse themselves so completely was a joy to witness.' Ending her message on a note of humility and pride, she added, 'This award isn't just for me—it's for the art form itself.' And with this record, Vaibhavi Merchant once again secures her position among the topmost choreographers in India and proves that good art—created from the heart—stays forever.

Anusha Dandekar gets real about her accent; slams stereotyping in entertainment; says 'Boxes are meant to be broken'
From ruling MTV as a VJ to setting trends as a fashion icon, Anusha Dandekar has never walked just one path. Now returning to screens with 'Hunter Season 2', the ever-dynamic star is embracing her 'multi-hyphenate' identity, a title she says is both a blessing and a challenge. In a candid conversation with News18 Showsha, Anusha reflected on how being someone who acts, hosts, sings, influences, and never stays still, is often met with skepticism in an industry that likes to label. 'I honestly don't view it as a negative,' she said. 'If anything, it's a gift , I get to wake up and do something I love every day. And I never get bored.' Fighting the stereotype But being multitalented doesn't mean it's been easy. The entertainment world, as Anusha puts it, 'loves boxes.' Whether it's judging her based on past roles or her Australian accent, she's been navigating the same barriers since the beginning. 'You break the box. Or at least try to. It's still a battle, it never really ends,' she admitted. One of her longest-running battles? Constantly being accused of faking her accent. 'People still think I'm faking it. I mean, seriously — how can someone fake an accent for this long? I don't think I'm that talented!' Owning her voice, creating her space Instead of bending to fit expectations, Anusha has learned to flip stereotypes to her advantage. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like A super-hit in Malaysia.

Whether she's on a Hindi web series with Jackie Shroff , acting in a Marathi film, or hosting her own show, Anusha isn't asking for anyone's permission to be all of herself. Her energy is contagious, her identity proudly layered. 'I'm too hyper for a 9-to-5. I crave change. This is who I am.' And maybe that's exactly what the industry — and the audience — needs more of.
