Hrithik Roshan's ripped physique in War 2 was not something he achieved overnight. Apart from his highly disciplined and strict workout routine, he is also someone who watches what he eats. In an interview to Health Shots, the actor's personal chef Shubham Vishwakkarma reveals Hrithik's favourite natural protein sources, his comfort food, cheat meals and more! Hrithik Roshan eats balanced and mindful meals to complement his fitness at 51.(Instagram) While several Bollywood celebrities swear by intermittent fasting and One Meal A Day diets, Hrithik Roshan's diet looks different. 'Hrithik sir eats every 2.5 to 3 hours in a day. He finishes his day by 9 p.m. maximum. Then he fasts till the morning,' Shubham Vishwakkarma says in an exclusive interview to Health Shots. Shubham is a Mumbaikar, who finished a hotel management course in 2015, followed by a stint in Taj Group of Hotels from 2016-2021.

At the age of 51, muscle gain requires a highly strategic diet. So, we asked Shubham what is Hrithik's typical day on a plate. "Protein, carbs, fiber and healthy fat," answers the chef, asserting that balanced meals that include all macronutrients are the best for overall well-being. When it comes to dietary choices, Hrithik Roshan consumes non-vegetarian foods. Shubham ensures the actor eats foods that especially support lean muscle gain and recovery. "I add eggs, chicken and fish for Omega-3 in his diet. Greek yogurt, oats and quinoa are also some of the staple foods we give him. Nuts and seeds are non-negotiables that we add to Hrithik sir's diet to ensure he remains fit and healthy," he explains. What about his favourite sources of protein, considering his fitness routine is rough and tough? The chef reveals that Hrithik gets his daily intake of protein from natural foods such as white fish, eggs, lentil, rajma and chickpea. Curious about what cheat meals look like for Hrithik Roshan? Shubham shares it all: "Tandoori chicken. BBQ chicken. No carbs burger, and Jowar-based pizza. That's what sir likes - foods that satiate his taste buds, but is also mindful." The chef believes people have a perception that Hrithik Roshan doesn't eat too much regular Indian foods such as roti, sabji and dal. But here's what: "Sir's comfort food is moong dal, Bhindi bhaji, Jowar roti and one bowl of dahi," he says. However, when it comes to Hrithik's comfort food, it is either a BBQ chicken or pizza! What about desserts? Is there a secret healthy dessert or protein snack he loves? Shubham reveals that Hrithik loves a protein-rich brownie! Check out the recipe here. What are some of the foods Hrithik avoids? "Mushroom! It is a healthy food, but he avoids it. Besides that, he avoids consuming refined sugar, seeds oil and gluten," says Shubham.

Saiee Manjrekar: Film industry can be very unforgiving
Actor Saiee Manjrekar, who was recently seen in Telugu film Arjun Son of Vyjayanthi, came back to the big screen after a gap of almost a year. While actors these days believe in having packed schedules, the actor believes in taking a different approach. Saiee M Manjrekar will next be seen in a Telugu film. The actor, who made her acting debut at the age of 16 with Dabangg 3 (2019), says that the film industry has taught her a lot. Also Read| Saiee M Manjrekar reacts to Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha's low box-office collection: It is disheartening 'The industry can be very unforgiving because every move is under a microscope. That has taught me to mature quickly and always bring my best to the table. When I started out, I didn't pay attention to certain details that I now consider very important,' says the actor who is currently shooting for a Telugu film India House. The 23-year-old actor adds, 'Over time, I've learned patience and mindfulness. You can't rush growth here and it's about being consistent, evolving with every experience, and understanding that your choices shape the career you want to build.' Daughter of filmmaker and actor Mahesh Manjrekar, Saiee has been part of films like Major and Auron Mein Kaha Dum Tha. Her films have always had a considerable gap in between and it's an informed choice that the actor makes. 'Taking smaller but meaningful steps helps me grow with each project, rather than jumping at every opportunity that comes my way. Everyone's path is different, but I've always preferred to focus on quality over speed, I think that eventually builds something more lasting,' says the actor who started her acting career at the age of 16 with 2019 film Dabangg 3. Does she ever feel insecure about not being part of the rat race? 'I believe it really depends on what you want your journey to look like. For me, slow and steady feels more organic,' Saiee concludes.

Anurag Kashyap slams Vijay Subramaniam for announcing ‘made-in-AI' film Chiranjeevi Hanuman: ‘Unforgivable, you should be in gutter'
On Tuesday, Abundantia Entertainment and Collective Artists Network announced a 'Made-in-AI' and 'Made-in-India' project, Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal. While actors like Ranveer Singh, Pulkit Samrat and Bhumi Pednekar showed excitement by liking the post and dropping a comment, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap seemed extremely frustrated. While he seemed upset about the 'Made-in-AI' claim, he was evidently disappointed in one of the film's producers, who is also his dear friend, Vijay Subramaniam. Earlier, Vikramaditya Motwane had also criticised the move. Anurag Kashyap shared a screenshot of the announcement poster, highlighting Vijay's name and penned a long note. The note ttook a dig at the producer for representing several creators and yet ignoring them all by choosing AI. He wrote, 'Congratulations Vijay Subramaniam. Here is the man head the Collective Artist Network that represents artists, writer, directors , now producing a film made by AI . So much for looking after and representing the interests of creators. End of the day , all these agencies are only interested in making money off you and since they choose turkeys after turkeys for you and you're not making enough for them, they are going all AI.' A post shared by Anurag Kashyap (@anuragkashyap10) He also targeted the actors and wrote, 'Any actor or anyone who calls themselves artists and has a spine will be and should be either questioning him or leaving the agency since he has proved that he thinks you're no match for his AI performance.' According to The Hindu, Collective Artists Network provides services to stars like Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Hrithik Roshan, Kartik Aaryan, Yash and Rashmika Mandanna, among others. The list also includes several musicians, authors as well as over a hundred creators from India's influencer space. Anurag also took an indirect dig at actors supporting the announcement and wrote, 'This right here is the future for the spineless and cowardly so called artists in the Hindi Film industry. Well done Vijay Subramaniam . Shame is not enough on you. You should be in the gutter.' A couple of hours after his post, the filmmaker again took to the comment section of his own post and wrote, 'By all means use AI , if you want to. Nobody can stop AI from taking over every field and the world. My grouse and my genuine grouse is with my friend Vijay Subramaniam , because he is the CEO of KWAN Collective . He represents the artists, the voice of artists and he is producing an AI FILM , when the industry needs corrections , especially from the agencies , who are very responsible for costs going up, actors career paths and writers, musician , filmmakers . He instead of creating more with them , goes out and creates and AI band TRILOk. Him I didn't expect.' The filmmaker admitted that his disappointment in Vijay is the reason behind his anger and frustration with the AI project. 'Not him of all the people. Abundantia is welcome to use AI and so can others if they think that's what it is but Vijay Subramaniam doing it absolutely unforgivable,' wrote Anurag. Anurag's frustration received mixed response, while many hailed him for speaking against the projects, others questioned the reason behind his frustration with some even questioning his credibility as a filmmaker. A user wrote, 'Anurag, let's be honest, your career now survives on noise, not films. After Wasseypur and Raman Raghav 2.0, what have you given this country that people actually pay for? 90% don't step into theatres for your films, they wait for OTT, and even then regret wasting two hours. Your validation comes from film fests, not your own countrymen.'

However, speaking to Indian Silicon Valley Jivraj Singh, Vijay shared the motive behind his agency. He told, 'For me, it was always about building a foundation of powering the next generation of content curators and creators of the country.' Vijay's AI film Hanuman is all set to released in 2026 on Hanuman Jayanti. According to Variety, a team of over 50 engineers from Galleri5 (the tech arm of Collective Artists Network) have developed the production. The makers even worked with cultural scholars and literary experts to ensure narrative authenticity. The soundtrack for the film is created by Trilok, which is again billed as world's first AI-powered band. Speaking to Variety, Vijay shared, 'At Collective, we live where culture, creators, and technology converge. With this film, we have the extraordinary opportunity to reimagine cultural storytelling for an audience that cherishes both tradition and innovation. Our approach is rooted in authenticity and cultural stewardship, ensuring complete transparency about the role of AI in the creative process.' Meanwhile, Hanuman's co-producer Abundantia Entertainment is known for producing films like Airlit, Shakuntala Devi, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and Ram Setu, among others.
