He promises an entertaining experience, and that's what the audience gets. This film is a reflection of that theory.'

How Neha Dhupia Lost 23 Kg Post Pregnancy, Says Weight Loss Is Not About "Shortcuts"
Actor Neha Dhupia is known for hosting TV shows and her acting career in the industry. The 44-year-old actor also made headlines when she lost her postpartum weight. The actor has always been open about her weight loss journey, and here's how she lost 23 kg despite all the challenges. Neha Dhupia's Weight Loss Journey The mother of two has had her fair share of weight struggles, but has managed to handle them with a mix of a balanced diet and a dedicated fitness routine. In an interview with Hindustan Times, the Roadies host opened up about her weight loss journey after giving birth to her daughters. She shared that she experienced postpartum weight gain and exceeded the normal 17 kg mark. For the unversed, postpartum weight gain is when a woman retains the weight after childbirth. While some weight loss happens after delivery, some women retain a significant amount of it post delivery. Sharing how Neha Dhupia lost the postpartum weight, Neha Dhupia said that she was more focused on breastfeeding her kids and did not focus on weight loss at the time. It was during lockdown that she decided to go on a calorie deficit diet. "It was a crazy span of four years, where I lost and put on weight time and again. Having said that, when I was pregnant, I wasn't worried about how I was going to look during postpartum," she shared. Despite the challenges, Neha Dhupia lost her postpartum weight. Here's what she did: Neha Dhupia's Approach To Diet And Exercise Neha Dhupia made a conscious effort to make lifestyle changes in her routine. She followed a diet and workout routine that fit into her lifestyle as a busy mother, without depriving herself or over-exerting. Her weight loss transformation was not about following a strict diet, but taking a holistic approach to weight loss. In an Instagram post, Neha Dhupia shared, "The truth is there are no shortcuts, there is no easy way around it, there is also no rocket science... stay consistent, work hard and show up especially on the days you don't feel like it at all!"

The Bad Newz actor revealed that she does not follow a rigorous workout routine. Neha Dhupia shared that her diet is simple. She mostly cut out sugar, fried foods, and gluten, but otherwise maintains a balanced diet that suits her lifestyle. "I have dinner with my kids at 7:00 pm, which is very helpful, and breakfast with my husband at 11 am. All of this helps," Neha Dhupia told the publication. She also shared how these physical changes helped her mental health as well. "Being healthier allows me to keep up with my children and boosts my confidence. My mental well-being is closely tied to my physical health," she revealed. Neha Dhupia's approach to weight loss was rooted in making sustainable changes and practising "self-compassion".

YRF Spy Universe: Where to stream all the movies before War 2's release?
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji and starring Hrithik Roshan, Kiara Advani, and Jr NTR, is releasing in cinemas this weekend. The movie turned out to be the sixth film in the YRF Spy Universe. Before watching War 2 in cinemas, here's where you can stream previous spy universe movies from Ek Tha Tiger to Tiger 3, online. Where to stream YRF Spy Universe Movies? 1. Ek Tha Tiger Cast: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif Director: Kabir Khan Release Year: 2012 Where to Watch: Prime Video Ek Tha Tiger marked the beginning of the YRF Spy Universe. However, it was never made with the idea of creating any cinematic universe. The germ of cross-over originated later on. Talking about Ek Tha Tiger, the movie still has the highest number of footfalls compared to any spy universe movie. The movie marked the first collaboration between Salman Khan and Kabir Khan, who later worked on Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015). 2. Tiger Zinda Hai Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif returned to the big screen, reprising their roles of R&AW and ISI agents from Ek Tha Tiger. The movie took a smashing opening and emerged as a huge blockbuster at the box office. The movie marked the second collaboration of Salman Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar, after their maiden collaboration on Sultan (2016). 3. War Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff, Vaani Kapoor Director: Siddharth Anand Release Year: 2019 Where to Watch: Prime Video Makers were initially struggling to find an apt title for War; it was tentatively titled as Hrithik Vs Tiger. The movie marked the second collaboration of Siddharth Anand and Hrithik Roshan after Bang Bang (2014). It emerged as a huge blockbuster, setting benchmarks for upcoming actioners. 4. Pathaan It was Pathaan that germinated the idea of cross-over and a cinematic universe under Yash Raj Films. Shah Rukh Khan made his comeback to the big screen after a break of 5 years. Pathaan turned out to be a monstrous blockbuster and became the first Bollywood movie to score over the Rs 1000 crore mark at the worldwide box office. 5. Tiger 3 Serving as the third installment to the much-loved Tiger franchise and the fifth film in the universe, Tiger 3 followed the events after Pathaan. Shah Rukh Khan made a cameo in the interval block, taking the experience a notch higher. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
