Here's a breakdown of Kriti's routine for those looking to follow along:
Starting with a Warm-up
Kriti advises starting every workout with a proper warm-up. It is essential to prepare the body for intense movement and reduce the risk of injury.
Power-packed start: Sprinter snatch
The Heropanti actress kicked things off with sprinter snatches, highlighting it as a powerful weightlifting move. According to her, it helps build muscle, enhances speed, boosts explosive power, and improves coordination. It has several benefits, all while challenging the full body. 'Push your boundaries till you can until you fall,' she encouraged.
Upper body focus: Swiss ball pullovers
Next in line were Swiss ball pullovers. Kriti shared that this full-range movement targets the chest, shoulders, back, and triceps. She added that they help build strength, improve stability, and support better posture.

Explosive moves: Wall slams
The diva then moved on to wall slams using a weighted ball, which she described as a 'very complicated exercise.' As per Kriti, it's great for releasing pent-up energy, building explosive strength, and improving overall power and coordination.
Core work: Elevated Russian twists
To strengthen her core and shoulders, the star performed elevated Russian twists. She mentioned how this variation not only targets the core and shoulders but also activates the deeper abdominal muscles for better stability.
Knee rehab and mobility
Kriti has dealt with knee issues due to a past fall. With the help of her trainer, she also focused on knee rehabilitation. 'We are working on not only mobilising the knee joint but also opening out the hips, which release the knee, giving it some breathing space and strengthening it at the same time,' she had explained.
Core and stability boosters
The actress continued her routine with a mix of movements designed to challenge the body's core and balance.
Banded core stabilizers
Resisted beast walks
Peterson's step, which focuses on knee strength and ankle mobility, as Kriti shared in the video.
Finishing strong: Core moves and stretching
Before wrapping up, Kriti Sanon performed a few core finishing exercises that ensured her midsection got an intense burn. But she didn't forget to cool down. 'Never complete without stretching,' she reminded viewers as she ended the session with a calming Shavasana, promoting relaxation and muscle recovery.
With her signature blend of strength and grace, Kriti's full-body workout serves as a motivating guide for anyone looking to build a balanced fitness routine.

Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin Update: Savi Discoveres a Hidden Locker; Ridhi's secret gets revealed
The latest episode of Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin unfolded with intense drama and emotional highs as Savi inched closer to uncovering Rajat's secrets while grappling with threats to Ridhi's life. The episode started with Tara comforting Bhagyashree that Rajat may have left some secret savings. She said she would consult Bhaskar to get more information and requested Bhagyashree not to worry about money, promising that she would investigate the issue herself. Savi was getting more and more restless, losing the sense of time, in the meanwhile. Before she departed, she left Kiaan with Bhagyashree's care. On the investigative side, Neil told Jeetu that both Rajat and Teju had been discovered with fake rubies. While it seemed to be a major lead, Neil agreed he hadn't yet joined the dots. He told them Manjrekar had said the two victims had been in touch through messages prior to their deaths. At that moment, Neil's phone rang, as Manjrekar had called him asking for a meeting. Jeetu made an assumption that Teju's issues could have been because of her relationship with Rajat, but Neil warned him against assuming. As Jeetu went on to suggest that even Savi could have done something out of emotional distress, Neil strongly shot down the allegation. Meanwhile, Savi went to Bhaskar at the office to ask if Rajat's missing insurance documents were found. Bhaskar told her that Rajat had kept a private locker in his room. With hope, Savi went to their room and tried to open the locker. She failed many times but saw a wedding photo and thought of using their wedding day as the password. To her relief, it opened. She found an idol of Lord Ganesha, a key, and a locker number inside. She prayed to Bappa for direction in getting the missing necklace, determined to reveal the truth. Meanwhile, tensions ran high between Neil and Jeetu. Neil blamed Jeetu for breaking his trust by interpreting evidence on his own. He denied Jeetu access to his live location and wished he never shared sensitive data, pointing out that Jeetu never really trusted Teju as he did. Savi then went to the bank to open the locker marked with the key. There, she found a shredded Swiss currency note—a strange but potentially crucial clue. As minutes kept disappearing, she got a call from Maruti calling her to Gandhi Chowk. With a heavy heart, she wished for the safety of Ridhi and departed. At home, Srichand's son comforted Bhagyashree, promising to be with her always in spite of her continued bereavement. Bhagyashree could not help praising Srichand's parenting. In a clandestine phone call, Srichand confirmed with his ally that Savi was, in fact, walking into their trap. Later, Srichand's son was feeling guilty about being absent from Ridhi during her tough times. Tara told him to make things right by accompanying her to the US. She also mentioned Ridhi hadn't reached out to them after leaving, delicately insinuating disapproval. Srichand stood up for Ridhi, claiming she was not negligent. As Savi confronted Maruti for the first time, she implored him not to hurt Ridhi. Maruti laughed at her concern and gave her a dark choice—take over Rajat's criminal business to keep Ridhi safe. Savi was shocked when Maruti told her that Rajat had conducted all their money laundering transactions and had even opened a company in her name, which had been closed down. Savi refused to accept Rajat's association with crime and outrightly rejected the proposal. However, Maruti escalated the threat, warning her that Ridhi would be brutally harmed if she didn't cooperate. Desperate, Savi begged for Ridhi's life. Maruti gave her time to consider and left. Determined not to be manipulated, Savi vowed to fight back and rescue Ridhi at any cost. Meanwhile, Neil updated Nitin on his investigation, revealing that Rajat's vehicle had turned up no new clues. When Nitin mocked him for the lack of progress, Neil reminded him that the case had been handed to him only after Nitin had failed. Back at home, Savi received a horrifying package. Inside was Ridhi's bloodstained dress—chilling proof that Ridhi was in serious danger.

Reddit responds to Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin's possible return to Russia: 'Everyone knows this'
Alex Ovechkin (via Getty Images) The news of Alex Ovechkin's probable departure for Russia following the 2024–25 NHL season wasn't made in a presser or team announcement — it was revealed through an offhand interview with his wife, Anastasia Shubskaya, in which she mentioned the family would return to Moscow when his contract with the Washington Capitals ended. Fans on Reddit, as well as critics, turned to their keyboards once this news was revealed. Fans react after Washington Capitals' Alex Ovechkin wife Anastasia Shubskaya confirms the Russia move The hockey world was quick to respond to Anastasia Shubskaya's comment: 'Alexander still has a contract for a year. So we will play the next season and then fly back to live in Moscow, our homeland. We will stay in Russia, yes.' But Reddit's hockey community, specifically on r/hockey, was already far ahead of the news— and had no lack of opinions. 'It's weird this is so discussed. He's been very vocal about wanting to bookend his career by finishing in Russia, like so many Russian greats do. He's also going to be 40, and he'll have nothing left to accomplish in the NHL,' one user posed. Someone replied, 'Yeah, I saw him say this verbatim in an interview a few years ago: play until he's 40 in DC, then go back to Russia for one last season with Dynamo Moscow, then retire.' Other users joked about the media hysteria: 'So… exactly what Ovi said earlier in the season. Why is this a story?' Others theorized that the Washington Capitals are deliberately waiting until later to make an official statement so they can give Alex Ovechkin the sendoff he deserves. 'Yes, everyone knows this. The Caps and Ovi just don't want some lame STH email to be the announcement," one user wrote. 'I'm sure the Caps and Ovi are planning an announcement to come either late this summer or early in the season.' But not all of the comments were hockey-related. Reddit forums also took a sharp detour into geopolitics, as Alex Ovechkin's public display of affection for Russian President Vladimir Putin once again came up for discussion. 'Is it really that clear? Yeah, sure, he has Putin in his Instagram profile picture, but that could mean anything (/s),' one commenter noted, which brought forth a tempest of responses. 'The sooner he goes back, the better. Celebrating Putin's puppet makes no sense,' another wrote. 'Yup. But people who brush off Ovi supporting Putin as a simple matter of ideological alignment are just plain ignorant of geopolitics and the monster that Putin really is. It's much more than 'It doesn't matter who he voted for; he's a great hockey player',' another replied. Even with the split opinions, what is certain is that Ovechkin's departure, whenever and however it is officially announced, will not be easy or politics-free. His record — as the NHL's second-best goal scorer in history and a former Stanley Cup champion — is solidly established, but his persona off the ice is still divisive. Alex Ovechkin's goodbye will be memorable — and anything but controversy-free Regardless of whether fans share his personal opinions or not, Alex Ovechkin's NHL career is in its penultimate lap. With one year left on his deal, and a return to Dynamo Moscow apparently in motion, the discussion has already turned from 'if' to 'how.' Also read: Capitals spark retirement panic after wrongly declaring Alex Ovechkin's last season On Reddit, the reaction is a microcosm of his broader legacy: awe for his on-ice dominance, concern over his political affiliations, and sharp opinions from every angle. But love him or loathe him, Ovechkin's final season in Washington will be must-watch — and his final departure will stir as much emotion as the goals he's scored across two decades.

Who has not ever been intrigued by a woman's veil? From shy brides blushing beneath their veils to grieving widows cloaked in black, mourning profound loss, veils have long held space for both joy and sorrow, quietly bearing witness to life's most tender moments. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now This single piece of cloth worn by women, was initially worn as a mark of dedication to God, which eventually became a fashion accessory with time. Every country and religion came up with their way of styling this accessory, which soon became a source of joy and happiness, taking the shape of wedding veils. Wedding veils have been iconic for decades and reflect the changing trends of each era. From the flapper veils in the 1920s to the birdcage veil in the 1940s, veils have seen a remarkable transformation in length, embellishments, and design. As time went on, new types and trends of wedding veils came into existence, but one amongst the lot made its way into the fashion world and is no longer only worn by royals or brides. Exuding a dramatic yet mysterious statement, the iconic birdcage veil is having a serious fashion moment nowadays. (Image Credits: Pinterest) From Bhumi Pednekar in 'The Royals' to Kareena Kapoor Khan at the Red Sea Festival, the red carpet star power has already approved of this vintage accessory. Let's dive deep into the existence and evolution of this beautiful piece. The veil whispers secrets of love The birdcage veil is the shortest type of veil and was a rage in the 1940s. Worn over the face with the netting or small tulle acting as a blusher for the bride, it was then pulled back for the first official married couple kiss. Typically, the birdcage veils came in various sizes, with the shortest usually around 9''. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now They were worn at an angle, covering only one side of the bride's face and thus exuded rays of ethereal romance and a sense of drama. (Image Credits: Pinterest) However, coming into existence during the Second World War, the trend of short veils came into power due to the shortage of fabric. This meant that bridal veils were not as long and elaborate as they once were, but this iconic piece bridged the gap between chic and sophistication and was looked upon as a super practical choice. Inside the net There are various types of netting fabric and designs used for birdcage veils. However, French netting, which eventually became a fashion symbol, has been used since the mid-20th century. The hexagonal pattern gives a delicate and soft appearance, whereas the Russian netting has large diamond-shaped holes, making the face look more opaque. French netting is also lightweight, stiffer, and comfortable. Kareena Kapoor Khan Shines at Vivienne Westwood Showcase Another type of netting was created by the Americans, with smaller diamond-shaped holes that were smaller than the Russian netting but larger than the French. (Image Credits: Pinterest) Hollywood dreams in vintage reality A simple and easy-to-wear option, the birdcage veil caught the attention of Hollywood and became more glamorous in the 1960s. Often teamed with pillbox hats and iconic headgear, Hollywood starlets like Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn made them a popular choice for red carpets and cocktail affairs. This era saw an increase in the popularity of birdcage veils in France, with French women carrying a hint of red lips with colourful birdcage veils over their faces. Today, this type of veil design is still a popular choice, but amongst the brides who wish to walk down the aisle in a retro look with a demure charm. How do I pair it up? Pairing a birdcage veil with your wedding dress can be tricky in today's modern world, but not impossible. If you're opting for a vintage look, then these birdcage veils look perfect with the extravagant ball gowns. However, ladies who wish to create a modish cocktail look can team this with a subtle, streamlined sheath or silk gown. Add some vintage-inspired accessories like full-length gloves and pearl jewellery to bring everything together. The glamorous birdcage veil has now evolved into a modern, unstructured interpretation, with fashion mavens styling it with elaborate feathers and flower combs. Marking its journey as a major staple in the bridal fashion space, it is more than just an iconic vintage accessory in today's world.
