Kareena Kapoor's dietician says she's following the same diet for 18 years, actress reveals 'My cook is exhausted because...'
Kareena Kapoor gave Hindi cinema a new term called Size Zero during Tashan back in 2008. And her dietician for the last 18 years Rujuta Diwekar has revealed how the actress is following the same diet since 2007.
She revealed, 'Dry fruits like almonds, raisins or figs as soon as she wakes up; paratha or poha for breakfast; dal and rice for lunch; cheese toast (sometimes) or mango/mango milkshake (seasonal) for evening snack; and khichdi with ghee/pulao for dinner.'

Kareena once joked, 'My cook is exhausted because I make him make the same food for 10-15 days. Same dal-rice, dahi (curd)-rice. He is like, what am I cooking? But I can be really happy eating khichdi five times a week. It works. It keeps me happy with a dollop of ghee.'
On her size zero figure
The actress once said, 'I am ambitious but never to the point that I would harm myself or my mental frame of mind.'
Kareena added, 'For size zero also I took the time, almost a year and a half to get into that look and it was like a challenge. 'Ek baar karna hai life mein (have to do this once in my life)' for an action film because I have never done an action film after that also.'
Saif Ali Khan's stabbing incident earlier this year in January shocked the industry and his family. Kareena Kapoor Khan, the actor's wife, has finally broken silence in an interview recently.
Kareena revealed, 'I am still kind of struggling with what it does to see someone there in your child's room. In Mumbai, you never really hear about such incidents.'
She added, 'It is very common in the US. In Mumbai, we have never really heard about such incidents. We have still not come to terms 100 per cent. At least I haven't. I was very anxious for the first couple of months. It was very difficult to sleep and get back to the person with that kind of normalcy.'

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan in US amid injury rumours; no official word yet
Mumbai, Jul 19 (PTI) Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is in the United States amid intense speculation that the actor may have suffered an injury during the shoot of his upcoming action film 'King' in Mumbai. While fans and media reports claim he is there for treatment, there has been no official confirmation from the actor's team, including manager Pooja Dadlani. Reports circulating in the press and across social media suggest that the 59-year-old star sustained a muscular back injury earlier this week during filming at the Golden Tobacco Studio. They stated that Shah Rukh was advised rest and subsequently travelled to the US for further treatment. Another report by news channel NDTV claimed that stories of SRK getting injured are untrue. It said Shah Rukh has sustained injuries during previous film shoots, some of which tend to flare up from time to time. For treatment and ongoing care, he is known to travel to the United States. The lack of an official update has only fuelled speculation, with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wishing speedy recovery to Shah Rukh on social media. 'Reports regarding my brother Shah Rukh Khan sustaining muscular injuries during shooting make me worried. Wish him speedy recovery,' Banerjee said on X. Many fans also wished for his speedy recovery on social media, using the hashtag #GetWellSoon. 'Get well soon #SRK sir. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Millions of prayers are with you,' said a fan on X. Another user said, 'Wishing Speedy Recovery to #ShahRukhKhan Saab.. Get Well Soon KING @iamsrk.' 'Wishing speedy recovery @iamsrk Get well soon,' said a fan. Several entertainment portals have claimed that filming for 'King', directed by Siddharth Anand, has been postponed until September. 'King', which also features Suhana Khan, is one of the most high-profile Hindi films currently in production. The film marks Khan's return to the action genre following the box office success of 'Pathaan' and 'Jawan' in 2023.

‘Kathak is incomplete sans Lachchhu Maharaj's touch'
1 2 Lucknow: Birju Maharaj Kathak Sansthan paid tribute to Kathak legend Pandit Lacchu Maharaj through 'Guru Smaran', a commemorative event, at Rai Umanath Bali auditorium on Saturday. The evening commenced with students presenting 'guru ashtakam'. Chief guest Anil Rastogi, a veteran actor and senior dramatist, shared personal memories of his association with Lacchu Maharaj. "His insightful feedback on Darpan's theatrical productions was invaluable to me as a director," Rastogi recalled. Prof Mandavi Singh, who has researched the maestro's contribution, emphasised his significance to Kathak. "The art form is incomplete without Lacchu Maharaj's innovations, his influence was so profound that my guru, his student, mentioned him daily, inspired me to research on him," she said. The highlight of the evening was a documentary showcasing Lacchu Maharaj's illustrious journey, from his early training under his father and brother to his successful stint in Hindi film industry, where he choreographed iconic films like 'Mughal-e-Azam', 'Kala Pani' and 'Pakeezah', besides his photographs while teaching his students and several performances. BMKS president Kum Kum Dhar Choudhary, director Sanjay Kumar Singh and assistant director Tuhin Diwedi were present.

It's deeply rewarding to be recognised for your craft: Sowmya Jaganmurthy
Sowmya Jaganmurthy is soaking in the appreciation of her film None of Her, which has been received well across the film festival circuit. Having recently won the Best Actress award at the Durgapur Film Festival, she opened up about what this win means to her, the emotional impact of her character, and the need for strong women-led stories in cinema today. Excerpts: 'WE HAD NO IDEA THAT NONE OF HER WOULD RESONATE' Ask her about her win, and the actress shares, 'It feels great. None of us had any idea that this film would go places and do so well. I have done a lot of films in the past, but I don't think I have ever gotten such recognition. It's deeply rewarding to be recognised for your craft.' 'THE RELATABILITY IS WHAT STRUCK WITH THE AUDIENCE' Though not theatrically released, None of Her is thriving on the film festival circuit. Sowmya credits the film's authenticity and emotional depth for its resonance. 'Each of the characters in the film is so real, they have so many flaws in them, they have so much goodness in them. They're not trying to be a superficial character. Everyone goes through their highs and lows, just like how life happens. That relatability is what has stuck with the audience,' she adds. It's sad that today, it's about how relatable you are on social media — how many followers you have, your brand collabs, paid promotions, not your craft Sowmya Jaganmurthy 'I KNOW THAT ACCOLADES DON'T IMMEDIATELY ATTRACT OPPORTUNITIES' Despite the accolades, however, Sowmya candidly admits that the win hasn't translated into immediate offers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo 'For an unconventional actor like myself, I know that accolades might not immediately translate into new opportunities. But I am looking forward to what comes next. I haven't gotten any calls or anything. But I do look forward to working with some good directors with good scripts and good characters,' she says. 'KANNADA INDUSTRY STILL NEEDS TO EXPLORE MORE WOMEN-DRIVEN ROLES' While talking about the lack of strong roles for women in the industry, she says, 'When you see OTT platforms and some of the biggest series that have been released last year—whether it's Hindi or Telugu — there have been characters written for women. I'm hoping that we will slowly open up to that idea. Women don't need to be just playing a mother or a sister. They can have depth, their characterisation. But in the Kannada industry, sadly, we're not exploring that aspect at all. '
