Bandish Bandits' Aaliyah Qureshi says she tasted Shah Rukh Khan's black water during Jawan shoot: ‘Kuch toh hai that the paani is kaala'
Bandish Bandits' Aaliyah Qureshi, who shared screen space with Shah Rukh Khan in Atlee's Jawan, recently revealed some 'random memories' with the 59-year-old actor. 'Once, during Jawan shooting, we were sitting at a table for dinner when Sanjeeta (Bhattacharya) asked what Shah Rukh sir was drinking. He very sweetly offered and told us that it was alkaline water. We tasted the black water. Kuch toh hai…the paani is kaala (something is different about black water)…I have such random memories,' Qureshi told Entertainment LIVE on YouTube.
Intrigued, we found out what lends alkaline water its peculiar colour.
Jinal Patel, dietician, Zynova Shalby Hospital Mumbai, said black water consists of minerals and even activated charcoal, giving it a unique dark appearance that appeals to many.
'Unlike regular water, which is clear, black water is jam-packed with essential minerals like magnesium, calcium, potassium, and antioxidants. It is known that the common form of black water is made out of fulvic acid or activated charcoal which works actively in detoxifying the body and improving hydration,' Patel said.
Black water helps to retain fluid in the body and stay hydrated, promoting better sleep.
'Black water has a slightly earthy or mineral flavour, which can be refreshing for many people. This water — which has a distinctive taste — is now gaining popularity because of the presence of these minerals that work wonders on the body. It is also believed that black water helps improve skin health,' Patel mentioned.
Avoid substituting black water with regular water, Patel said.
'It is better to have normal water which is proven to improve physical performance, digestion, body detoxification, aid in weight loss and manage constipation. Drinking black water mindlessly can cause abdominal bloating, cramping, and even diarrhea,' cautioned Patel.

UP governor directs raids on ultrasound centres to curb female foeticide
Pilibhit: Governor of Uttar Pradesh, Anandiben Patel , during a review meeting of the Red Cross Society in Pilibhit on Wednesday, issued directions to the district magistrate (DM), chief medical officer (CMO), and office bearers of the Red Cross to constitute a team and conduct a raid on ultrasound centres in the district to curb female foeticide . She said the measure was essential to address the male to female ratio imbalance in the country. The meeting was held at the Gandhi Meeting Hall of the collectorate campus as part of the governor's two-day official visit to Pilibhit. During the meeting, Patel suggested launching extensive awareness drives, particularly in rural areas, to inform people that foetal testing is a cognisable offence. The governor also emphasised the need for organising health camps across the district, especially for infants and children, and promoting homeopathic medicines due to its easy administration on children, minimal side effects, and cost-effectiveness compared to allopathic medicines. In a bid to minimise risks of cervical cancer, CMO Dr Alok Kumar, was directed to ensure HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccination of all 900 students of govt-run Kasturba Kanya Vidyalayas (KKVs) in the district. Kumar said the cost of the HPV vaccine would be borne by the Red Cross as it was not available free of cost under govt supplies. "The vaccine, which costs between Rs 2,000 and Rs 4,000 in the open market, is administered in two doses at an interval of 6 months," he said.

Calling for a resolution in promoting primary education for every child in the state, she instructed officials to chalk out a plan to effectively conduct the drives. "This is an inevitable exercise as the dropout rate of primary students is very high in UP," she said. Governor Patel also visited the Chuka ecotourism spot and reviewed the status of wildlife management and conservation at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve.

From Chaos to Control Challenging the Medical Norm In a world where anti-ageing trends flood social media and tech moguls chase longevity with million-dollar routines, one doctor's transformation stands out for its simplicity and science-backed methods. Dr. Alka Patel, a longevity and lifestyle medicine doctor based in London, says she has slashed 30 years off her biological age, which now sits at just 23. Unlike chronological age, which simply counts the years lived, biological age is based on how well a person's cells and systems are functioning.'A younger biological age means your cells and tissues are functioning as though you're much younger: in your heart health , your brain sharpness, and your skin glow. It's not just about feeling better; it's about becoming younger,' Dr. Patel told The over 20 years as a general practitioner, Patel transitioned into preventive and longevity medicine. She now helps others live stronger and longer lives by using a combination of advanced medical testing and lifestyle strategies. Her methods include testing for gut microbiome, DNA, hormone levels, and metabolic biomarkers to develop personalised wellness mission is deeply personal. On her 39th birthday, she collapsed and was rushed to the hospital with a high fever that doctors couldn't explain. Years of non-stop caregiving for patients and her family had led to complete burnout. Her condition deteriorated rapidly, with her organs beginning to fail.'I didn't know if I'd live to see my children the next day. That moment truly terrified me. I was cut open by surgeons in an attempt to find the source of the fever – but it was a mystery,' she said in the interview. The diagnosis was Pyrexia of Unknown Origin (PUO), and she was left with surgical scars that serve as a constant reminder of the toll burnout can take.'I wasn't ready to leave my children without a mother. That experience didn't just change me; it redefined me,' Patel her recovery, Patel overhauled her life and created a structured biohacking routine, which she credits for her reversed biological age. Her regimen is easy to follow yet impactful:Before her health crisis, Patel described her lifestyle as 'chaotic.' She juggled a demanding career, motherhood, and constant stress, often skipping meals and rest. 'I was living in reactive mode – always firefighting; never fireproofing,' she her approach is data-driven and deeply intentional. She monitors her biological responses with wearable tech like continuous glucose monitors, tailors her nutrition, and even incorporates micro-movements throughout her day. 'Data, Devices, Decisions,' she says, is her mantra lifestyle includes seven-day silent retreats, marathons, sauna therapy, and five-day fasts—sometimes with minimal food, contrary to popular assumptions about some peers remain sceptical, Patel believes traditional healthcare is built around treating sickness rather than promoting health. She praises innovators like Bryan Johnson, known for his aggressive anti-ageing tactics, saying, 'Bryan is pushing the boundaries of what's possible — and that's a good thing.''I'm on a mission to help people live longer and stronger,' Dr. Patel said. 'It's not just about living longer; it's about living better—and that begins with understanding how your body is really ageing.'
