Fardeen Khan at 51 opens up on his 25 kg weight loss transformation; why he quit alcohol: ‘I was feeling 60 years old'
Fardeen Khan recently opened up about his weight loss journey in an interview with Cyrus Broacha. In a video posted by the YouTube channel Cyrus Says on June 6, the 51-year-old actor talked about shedding 25 kilos, bringing his life back on track, and quitting alcohol. Also Read | Step inside Johnny Lever's simple Mumbai duplex he bought in 1990: '20 times badh gaya price' Talking about his weight loss journey, and how the internet criticised and ridiculed him when he had gained weight, Fardeen revealed, 'I was 102-103 at my heaviest. Not muscle. Good old body fat…as of last week, I am 78-79 now. Some 25 kilos off.' The actor revealed that losing all that weight wasn't just about transforming. He wanted to reclaim his health because he was at an age where he didn't feel like himself at all. Watch the full video here. A post shared by Fardeen F Khan (@fardeenfkhan) During the interview, Fardeen also opened up about his sobriety and giving up alcohol during the pandemic lockdown. The actor said, 'I was sober in the early 2020s. That's when I kicked the habit full on during the COVID-19 lockdown. I stopped in one go.' He revealed that the reason was that his drinking problem had come to a point where it was interfering with his life. 'I needed to stop. I sought professional help to stop. It is probably the best decision I have made in my life. I started drinking very young,' the Housefull 5 actor said. The 51-year-old actor revealed that after quitting, it was the first time that his 'brain fog kind of cleared'. 'I was feeling bloody 60 years old. Now, when you wake up, you feel clean, sober…I quit overnight, but coming to terms with your new life was a tough journey,' he told Cyrus Broacha. Per the actor, quitting alcohol was a voluntary decision as he wasn't getting anything out of it anymore; he wasn't getting any enjoyment, and he wasn't happy with who he was as a person. Reflecting on his sobriety, the actor added that the whole point of being sober is actually relaxing and being comfortable with yourself, and that took quite a few years of work. 'I have never been happier,' he added in the end.

Elizabeth Hurley celebrates 60th birthday naked and ‘in love' with Billy Ray Cyrus: ‘It's been a wild ride'
Elizabeth Hurley is celebrating her 60th birthday while gushing about being in love and feeling blessed for having friends and family to look after her. To mark her big day, the actor shared a bold photo on Instagram, posing nude in a field while using her posture to keep the image tasteful and elegant. In the caption, she wrote how wild this year has been for her, celebrating 30 years of working with Estée Lauder, 20 years of her swimwear brand, and most importantly, announcing she's in love with Billy Ray Cyrus. The duo went Instagram official on April 20, 2025. While the exact timeline of their relationship is unknown, it is being said that they fell in love while filming Christmas in Paradise in 2022. 'Happy birthday to me! This year has already been a wild ride; my 30th year of working with the Estée Lauder Companies, my 30th year as the Global Ambassador of the @esteelaudercompanies Breast Cancer Campaign, the 20th,' The Bedazzled star wrote alongside the picture. 'I'm in love. Feeling very blessed and grateful for having the best friends & family in the world. Pic taken this afternoon… in my birthday suit,' she added, loading the caption with a bunch of red hearts. Also read: Elizabeth Hurley, once married to Indian tycoon Arun Nayar, confirms romance with Billy Ray Cyrus in Easter kiss snap The actor's son Damian Hurley dropped a comment: 'Hahahah I LOVE YOU, happy birthday mama xxx,' followed by celebrities like Heidi Klum, who wrote, 'Congratulations beautiful smart funny Elizabeth, Wishing you the best birthday. Love you.' The country singer also celebrated Hurley's big day, posting a separate Instagram picture with her and calling her the 'love of my life' in his birthday message. A post shared by Elizabeth Hurley (@elizabethhurley1) Elizabeth, who first visited Billy Ray's estate in Nashville during Easter celebrations, quietly soft-launched their romance through social media posts filled with PDA moments like country walks and off-road rides, without fully spilling the beans. While Hurley's son has now publicly shown support, Cyrus's daughter Miley recently also opened up about her bond with him amid reports of their feud. She had cut ties with him back in 2023 after his divorce from her mother, Tish. Miley now wishes happiness for both, saying in a recent interview, 'At first it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.'' Also read: Elizabeth Hurley wants a 'funny' boyfriend According to reports, Elizabeth had first reached out to Billy Ray via text when he was going through his messy divorce from Firerose, his third wife. They started chatting more often and came close. Now, Billy Ray is hoping this new chapter will also help him fix things with his kids. His split from Miley's mom, Tish, back in 2022 after nearly 30 years of marriage had caused serious tensions in the family. However, recently, a source who spoke to the Daily Mail revealed, 'Billy Ray met Elizabeth in 2022 on the set of their Christmas film, which they both starred in. Tish had her thoughts and suspicions at the time that he was cheating on her with Liz, but Billy Ray flat-out denied it.' The insider called their relationship, 'a slap in the face.' Sources say Billy Ray is now trying to spend more time with his kids. He's even willing to apologise to Tish's current husband, actor Dominic Purcell, just for the sake of peace between the two families. Despite all the past drama, insiders say Billy Ray feels lucky to have found Elizabeth. In a recent interview with Apple Music Country's The Ty Bentli Show, the country singer opened up about meeting Hurley on the filming set and said, 'We did very few scenes together, but the couple times we were in the same scene there was a chemistry. We just laughed and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot, and I found it the oddest thing.'

'You don't know who we are…,' Shilpa Shetty and husband Raj Kundra gets into a heated argument with..., watch viral video
Shilpa Shetty is presently in Croatia celebrating a birthday with her spouse Raj Kundra, sister Shamita Shetty, and several close family and friends. A young Instagram user recently shared a video on the platform asserting that Shilpa and her family were in a dispute with a 'young foreigner' who expressed concerns about their group being excessively loud. What Happened In Croatia? Posting a video featuring a group in white clothing, the young Instagrammer claimed, 'This event took place today (9.06.2025) on Hvar Island, Croatia.' A foreigner was having her meal while they ( Shilpa Shetty and crew ) were talking loudly. The foreign girl requested that they reduce their noise level; nonetheless, Raj Kundra answered, 'You have no idea who we are.' I wasn't able to capture that line in the video as it happened too abruptly. He asserted, 'You can distinctly hear Shilpa Shetty and her family nearby, as well as Shilpa Shetty and her team stating, 'Don't speak to us, we don't wish to listen to you.'' The foreign girl merely wished to savor her meal and kindly asked them to lower their voices. Kindly share your thoughts regarding this event. Is this attitude of arrogance from our celebrities abroad warranted or not? 'Do these incidents tarnish the image of Indians and our standing internationally or not?' Raj Kundra Spills The Beans On Entire Incident After this incident, Raj Kundra gave an interview to Hindustan Times in which he cleared everything about this incident. He stated, 'I want to explain the circumstances surrounding the video that is being shared online.' I reserved this specific restaurant a year ahead to commemorate my wife's birthday. Regrettably, when we arrived, we learned that our table had been reassigned to another party because of what they described as a 'double booking' mistake by the same agent,' he shared in a text message to us. Raj added, 'Having operated restaurants myself, I found the management of the situation incredibly frustrating, particularly with my elderly parents, mother-in-law, and 20 guests left in limbo.' What was intended to be a memorable night became needlessly stressful, and when we expressed our concerns, we were abruptly instructed to be silent, which only increased our frustration. He ended by stating, 'After a year of planning, the absence of accountability or even minimal courtesy from the restaurant management was profoundly discouraging. I trust this clarifies the situation.
