STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
Now, his brother Rahul Dev has broken silence on what caused his brother's death. The actor was quoted saying to Times of India, 'He was in the ICU for eight and a half days. Medically, it was a result of poor eating habits. In the last four-five days, he had stopped eating altogether.'
He added, 'Of course, he felt lonely, and he had lost interest in life…He would turn down several work offers… Only now, after completing all the rituals, is the reality sinking in - and I know the pain will only deepen.'
Dev also said, 'The people who are speaking out now weren't even in touch with him. They say he was unfit, but he ran half-marathons. Yes, he had gained weight - when someone stops caring about themselves, it shows… Who really stayed in touch with him between 2019 and 2024? Did they visit him when he was in the hospital or attend his prayer meet?'

How TV Star Divyanka Tripathi Lost 10 Kg In 6 Months With Dance And Eating Right
Divyanka Tripathi, aka Ishita of Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, is one of the most popular TV personalities. Known for her acting, the Banoo Main Teri Dulhann actor went through a drastic weight loss transformation in 2019. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Divyanka Tripathi revealed her fitness transformation and what she eats in a day to stay fit. The actor had gained weight after her injury, which put her in a wheelchair, and she did not work out as much. Divyanka Tripathi's Weight Loss Transformation Sharing her morning ritual, Divyanka Tripathi says that she starts her day with a glass of green juice. She ate breakfast around 10-11 am, which mostly included fresh fruits or oil-free pancakes. Revealing that she is not one of those people who will lose the extra kilos while eating everything, Divyanka Tripathi made sure to add only healthy foods to her diet. "I have to really control my diet, I don't have a great metabolic rate," she shared. The 40-year-old shared that she has to be mindful of the carbs she consumes because her body doesn't digest them well. "As soon as I have it, I pop." For lunch, she mostly had " dabba made" food. She included a healthy wrap with paneer and vegetables. For snacks, Divyanka Tripathi opted for oil-free vegetable cutlets. She also preferred having sugar-free soups or small cheese portions between meals on hectic schedule days. Dinner was kept light and eaten early, usually before 7:30 PM, to support digestion. She made a point to avoid excess carbohydrates, sugar, and rice as she feels these slow her metabolism and lead to weight gain. She only allowed herself to indulge in an occasional cheat meal once every week to ensure that she did not feel deprived. Divyanka Tripathi's Workout To Lose Weight Weight loss is an amalgam of a healthy diet and exercise. Divyanka Tripathi combined cardio with weight training, which helped her burn calories and build muscles. According to the Times of India, her most significant weight loss occurred during her stint on Nach Baliya Season 8. Since dance is a great weight loss exercise, Divyanka Tripathi lost around 10 kg in 6 months. "I was already on a weight loss spree before Nach Baliye started, as I had reincorporated regular exercising and healthy food habits into my daily routine. Dancing further helped me get on the right track as it's a great form of exercise. I am happy about getting back into shape as it's important not only as an actor, but I also feel healthier in the long run," she shared. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya (@divyankatripathidahiya) Overall, Divyanka Tripathi took a holistic approach to weight loss. It included physiotherapy, bodyweight strength training, core exercises, mixed martial arts, yoga, and a healthy diet. She often trained with her husband, actor Vivek Dahiya, who also motivated her to achieve her fitness goals.

Alpha: Choreographer Bosco Martis Praises Alia Bhatt And Sharvari's 'Exceptional' Transformation
Last Updated: Speaking to India Today, he expressed his excitement for the project, hinting that audiences will see a completely new side to both actresses. Alia Bhatt and Sharvari are going to share screen space in an action drama, Alpha. The shooting has been going on, and more often, updates are also disclosed. Recently, choreographer Bosco Martis has heaped praise on both actresses for their work. Speaking to India Today, he expressed his excitement for the project, hinting that audiences will see a completely new side to both actresses. In conversation with the portal, Bosco Martis said, 'I think it's exceptional. I think they're going to stand tall. They're going to look really sharp. You're going to see a new Alia, a new Sharvari. It's going to be a refreshing change. And I just hope I don't have to bite my words. But I think what they've done is exceptional. You're going to see something very solid. I'm really putting my money on that." Earlier, ETimes quoted a source sharing details of the dance number in the film. 'Both Alia and Sharvari were excited about this song. It's big and breathtaking. The ideas were always to have a visually stunning, high-energy song featuring the two female leads in an action-packed environment, and it's shaping up exactly like that," the source said. Dibyendu talks about working with Alia in Alpha The conversation then steered towards YRF's upcoming big project after Saiyaara and War 2, Alpha. While he remained tight-lipped about his upcoming project Alpha, Dibyendu did drop a few hints. 'I cannot say much about Alpha. It's a good film with a good team. The director is someone I've worked with before on The Railway Men — a very talented young man," he said. 'And of course, Alia is a fantastic actress. The entire team is excellent. It's always a joy to work with good people." When asked if he'd talk more about the film in the future, he smiled and promised, 'Yes, I will. I promise, whenever everything is officially out. Because someone recently created a story about it and people found out I was involved in Alpha. But I never personally told anyone. There are a lot of protocols you have to follow, so I can't say much more right now." Hrithik Roshan's cameo in War 2 Recently, Alia Bhatt's cheeky reaction that sent fans into a frenzy. Taking to her Instagram story, Alia re-shared the War 2 trailer and wrote, 'Mazedaaaaaar See you on the 14th. In a cinema near meee." About Alpha: According to a report by India Today, both Alia and Sharvari are said to appear in a mysterious post-credit cameo in War 2 — one that subtly teases the narrative of Alpha. 'It's short, yes, but it has tension, mystery, and a hint of what these two women are capable of. It's not just a cameo — it's a setup," a source told the outlet. Another insider revealed that the cameo was filmed under tight security earlier this year, with only a handful of crew members on set to preserve the secrecy. While Yash Raj Films has not officially confirmed Alia and Sharvari's involvement in War 2, fans are already connecting the dots — and Alia's Instagram story has only added fuel to the fire. If true, this would mark a strategic expansion of the YRF Spy Universe, tying the past (Tiger, Pathaan, War) with the future (Alpha) through seamless narrative integration. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha is expected to mark a new era in Bollywood's action genre, showcasing female spies at the centre of a sprawling espionage saga.
