‘No crash diets or quick fixes': A look inside Kiara Advani's bikini-ready diet for War 2
Kiara Advani's bikini body in War 2 isn't just the result of good genes — it's the product of months of planning, precision, and pure discipline. As the new mum gears up for her debut in the YRF Spy Universe alongside Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in War 2 fans have been buzzing over her sizzling new avatar as Kavya Luthra. And while her transformation may look like the work of an intense crash course, it turns out Kiara's secret weapon was something much more holistic and sustainable. Her nutritionist spilled all the details to Pinkvilla, and the takeaway is clear: discipline, not deprivation. Kiara Advani in War 2 'When Kiara spoke to me for her prep, the goal was clear: to be in the best shape of her life for her first-ever bikini shot on screen,' her nutritionist shared. 'She didn't want shortcuts. She wasn't looking for a crash diet or a quick fix. She wanted something sustainable, holistic — and something that made her feel strong.' What did she eat? Every element of her meal plan was measured and intentional—right down to the oil used in cooking or a light sprinkle of Parmesan. And yes, there were pancakes involved. 'Her mornings always started with her non-negotiable protein pancakes,' the nutritionist explained. 'The pancakes were made with oat flour, walnut flour, protein powder, maple syrup or monk fruit, and water, topped with fresh berries and homemade hazelnut butter. She loved them so much that we even shot a video before she left for her European schedule to ensure the entire team knew exactly how to make them right.' Kiara's meals throughout the day focused on lean protein and fresh, vibrant ingredients. Her lunches and dinners rotated between grilled chicken, chicken curries, asparagus, baby potatoes, avocado, edamame, pesto, and hummus with vegetable crudites. 'We kept her meals light but high in protein and tailored them closely to her training and shoot schedule,' the nutritionist said. Snacks weren't off the table either. One of Kiara's go-to picks? 'Good old sattu chaas — a blend of roasted Bengal gram flour seasoned lightly with jeera powder and coriander leaves. It's a refreshing, natural Indian protein-rich drink that helped with hydration and recovery, especially after long workouts or outdoor shoots.' Prep before the bikini scene When it came to shooting the now-viral bikini scene, the prep wasn't built around extreme tactics. 'We didn't do anything drastic or unhealthy — no extreme cutting or water depletion,' her nutritionist revealed. 'Instead, we planned it backwards—adjusting sodium, water, and fibre intake gradually while keeping energy levels high.' While Kiara was filming in Tuscany and Rome, her team even coordinated with local chefs to keep her meals on point. 'We shared allergen information, sourced local ingredients, and designed menus that aligned with her macros and the demands of the shoot.' But diet was only part of the transformation. Sleep and recovery were just as critical. 'We were intentional about setting a circadian rhythm, ensuring she got adequate rest,' the expert explained. 'Everything—her meal timings, training windows, and even caffeine intake—was structured around this rhythm. With her demanding shoot schedule and training simultaneously, her body needed recovery, and building a strong sleep-wake routine helped us optimise everything else. She was in bed by 8 pm. Her dedication and discipline was commendable.' From what we've seen so far, all that commitment has paid off. And with her fiery portrayal of Kavya Luthra already setting the internet ablaze, Kiara's War 2 debut might just be her most exciting move yet.

Amid the success, there were rumours that the film will hit an OTT platform soon. However, the makers took to their official Instagram handle to clear the air. Ashwin Kumar, the director of the film and founder of Kleem Productions, shared a note. It read: 'We have been receiving a lot of buzz about Mahavatar Narsimha coming to OTT soon — but let us clarify: For now, our film is ONLY available in theatres across the whole wide world. We have not finalised any OTT platform yet. Please believe only authentic updates shared from our official handles.' The success of the film has also given rise to several memes with people drawing comparisons with Hollywood film Avatar. One of the meme reads: 'America — We have Avatar. India — We have MahaAvatar.' With no big releases scheduled for this weekend, films Mahavatar Narsimha and Saiyaara have another week to add to their collections. The films might get affected in the Independence weekend with two big films hitting the big screen: Hrithik Roshan's War 2 and Rajinikanth's Coolie. Meanwhile, Saiyaara has crossed Rs 300 crore mark.

Kajol snaps at reporter for asking her to speak in Hindi; fans say, ‘Then stop doing Hindi films'
Bollywood actor Kajol has once again made headlines for snapping at the paparazzi. The actor recently lost her cool at a reporter during the Maharashtra State Film Awards 2025 held in Mumbai on Tuesday. At the event, Kajol was honoured with the prestigious Raj Kapoor Award for her contribution to Indian cinema. However, during her interaction with the media, when a reporter asked her to speak in Hindi, she snapped back. In a viral video, Kajol is seen speaking in Marathi to the reporters, calling the award a 'big deal'. However, when one reporter asked her to repeat her words in Hindi, Kajol got irritated and said, 'Abhi main Hindi mein bolu (Now should I speak in Hindi too)?' She added, 'Jisko samjhna hai woh samjh lenge (Those who want to understand what I said, will figure it out).' A post shared by First Saw It Here (@firstsawithere) Many on social media didn't agree with Kajol's behaviour and her refusal to speak in Hindi. A comment read, 'Then why do you make films in Hindi?' Another comment said, 'Ask her to stop doing Hindi films. She should only do Marathi films.' A user on X, formerly Twitter, wrote, 'After earning so much money and fame through the Hindi audience, Kajol says 'Ab Hindi mein bolun? Jisko samajhna hai samajh le'.' At the award show, Kajol wore her mother's black and white saree. She received the award from Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and delivered her acceptance speech in fluent Marathi. 'It is my birthday today,' the actor told the crowd after accepting the award. Kajol attended the ceremony with her mother, Tanuja, and told the audience that her mother had received the same award years ago, and now her receiving it made the moment even more special. On the work front, Kajol will return as her character Noyonika in The Trial Season 2. She was last seen in film Sarzameen, which also starred Ibrahim Ali Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film was panned by critics. Kajol has Maharagni: Queen of Queens in the pipeline, which will also star Prabhu Deva and Naseeruddin Shah.
