Farah Khan praises Shalin Bhanot's journey; says 'You've come a long way, from living in a rented flat to owning a 5 BHK luxurious home'
In a warm and candid episode of her podcast, Farah Khan took a nostalgic look at actor Shalin Bhanot's journey. She spoke about his early days on Nach Baliye to becoming a familiar face across Indian television.
Having known Shalin for years, Farah shared heartfelt memories from his early days in the spotlight. 'You were always entertaining, even back then,' she smiled, referring to his full-of-life presence on stage.
But beyond the entertainment, she pointed out something deeper.
'Today, you have achieved a lot,' she said, acknowledging his steady evolution as a performer and person. Shalin's path hasn't followed the usual route. From reality shows to fiction, from making headlines in Bigg Boss to showing a different side on Khatron Ke Khiladi, his career has been about pushing boundaries, taking chances, and showing up even when the odds were stacked against him.
Farah also touched upon how far he has come in his real-life. She said, Tu jab Nach Baliye mein tha toh kitne flats the.. nahi tha na.. tu rent par rehta tha. Waah kya baat Hai itna bada ghar 5 BHK ...Shalin so proud of you. (Dekho mehnat ki kamayi... (You've come a long way, from living in a rented flat to owning a 5 BHK luxurious home. That's no small feat. You should be proud of yourself),' she added, highlighting the quiet, personal victories that often go unnoticed.
The tone of the episode remained light and affectionate. Farah, known for her wit, couldn't resist teasing him, 'You always thought of yourself as the hero — and now you've truly become one!' A playful remark, but one that summed up his arc: the belief he held in himself, even before others did.
As Shalin continues to reinvent himself with each role, Farah's reflections felt like more than just compliments. They were a quiet celebration of resilience, of holding on when it was easier to let go, and of growing — not just in front of the camera, but beyond it.
Today, as Shalin finds himself in the spotlight once again, Farah's words feel like a full-circle moment. A reminder that behind every applause is a story of grit, growth, and an unwavering passion for the craft.
Ouch! Shalin Bhanot STUNG by 200 Scorpions on Khatron Ke Khiladi 14!

Elizabeth Hurley stuns in Gaurav Gupta couture: A vintage glamour revival
Elizabeth Hurley embodies Old Hollywood glamour in a stunning Gaurav Gupta couture gown for Ellen von Unwerth's magazine. The moonstone ivory column dress, adorned with crystals and sequins, features long sleeves and a flowing trail. Hurley's minimal accessories and smoky eyes enhance the gown's drama, solidifying her status as a timeless icon. If you thought Old Hollywood glamour was a thing of the past, Elizabeth Hurley is here to prove you wrong and how. The Bedazzled star recently channelled full-blown vintage diva vibes in a breathtaking couture gown by Indian designer extraordinaire Gaurav Gupta , and honestly, it might be one of her most iconic looks yet. In a shoot for Ellen von Unwerth's magazine, Elizabeth slipped into what can only be described as a showstopper: a moonstone ivory column gown straight out of Gaurav Gupta's Autumn-Winter '24 couture collection. Think long sleeves, a sequin-drenched high neck, and a trail that flowed like liquid silver. Covered in shimmering crystals, sequins, and glitter, the gown was all drama - just the kind of drama we want at a photoshoot. Now, when your outfit's doing the most, the smart thing to do is pull back on the accessories and Liz did just that. No chunky jewellery, no over-the-top bling. Just a pair of delicate diamond earrings and a few elegant, stone-studded rings that nodded to the gown's opulence without competing with it. No necklace, no bracelets. Just pure, minimal class. Her makeup? Equally on point. Glowing skin, a soft matte base, and that perfect blush-contour combo that gave her cheeks a sculpted, rosy glow. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gentle Japanese hair growth method for men and women's scalp Hair's Rich Learn More Undo She went with a pink-tinted lip to brighten things up, while her smoky eyes with kohl, fluttery lashes, and a hint of silvery eyeshadow, added that retro femme fatale edge. Of course, no Gaurav Gupta look is complete without a little extra drama, and the white fur stole draped casually over her shoulders delivered just that. It added that final layer of luxe that made the whole look feel like it belonged on a red carpet or better yet, a classic black-and-white film set. If you know Gaurav Gupta, you know he's a master of sculptural silhouettes and experimental textures, and this gown was peak Gaurav. The metallic 3D embroidery, that signature 'crystal erosion' effect, and the fluid design gave the dress that futuristic-meets-classic vibe that's become his trademark. No wonder the designer captioned his Instagram post, 'Elizabeth Hurley wears Gaurav Gupta Couture for the Ellen Von Unwerth's Magazine issue. ' And it's not just Liz who's fallen for his magic. Gaurav's pieces have already graced the likes of Beyoncé, Cardi B, Lizzo, Jenna Ortega, Megan Thee Stallion, you name it. His designs have shown up at Cannes, the Grammys, the Met Gala… you get the idea. He's global. And seeing Elizabeth Hurley in one of his creations? It's the crossover we didn't know we needed. Elizabeth Hurley isn't just wearing a gown. She's wearing a story, one that blends classic Hollywood charm with bold Indian couture. And we are so here for it.

The 21-21-21 fitness rule that's creating a buzz
Kapil Sharma's dramatic weight-loss transformation may have stunned fans, but behind the scenes, it was the result of a steady, structured routine crafted by celebrity fitness coach Yogesh Bhateja. Bhateja recently revealed that the comedian's fitness journey followed the '21-21-21' rule. So, what exactly is the 21-21-21 rule, and how can you use it to kick-start your transformation? Let's break it down. What is the '21 21 21' rule The '21-21-21' rule is a structured, three-phased, 63-day fitness plan designed to promote weight loss. Each 21-day block targets a specific area — movement, mindful eating, and overcoming emotional dependencies — to build sustainable habits and prevent burnout. First 21 Days: Focus on movement - These initial days are all about getting the body moving — think light stretches, basic exercises, and PT routines from school days. The emphasis is on consistency, not intensity. - Bhateja explains in a YouTube channel, 'Go back 15-20 years, when schools used to conduct PT (physical training classes). Just do those exercises every day for 21 days, and you won't have to do any diet control or modification, eat jalebis as much as you want.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Man Intervenes as Child Jumps on Seats – Watch the Outcome Tips and Tricks Undo Next 21 Days: Modify your diet - Once movement becomes a habit, the focus shifts to small but meaningful dietary adjustments. - Bhateja advises, 'Keep a check on your diet. I am not saying cut your carbs, calories or anything else. This is not the right approach. Only modify your diet.' - Examples include drinking milk in the morning instead of at night to avoid acidity or gas, using less sugar or milk in tea, and controlling jaggery intake after meals. Final 21 Days: Control emotional dependencies - The last phase addresses emotional triggers and unhealthy habits such as excessive caffeine intake, alcohol, or smoking. 'Control your emotional dependency on any substances that do not give you any health benefits…' he explains. This isn't about strict elimination, but about cultivating self-control and awareness. By day 42, visible progress boosts motivation, and by day 63, habits become self‑sustaining These 62 days will help you build an attitude without any pain, because you focused on only 1 thing during each set of 21 days… After 63 days, you will see a good change in your body, and you won't need anyone to push yourself. This is what works best for beginners Yogesh Bhateja, a fitness coach Many clients have shown interest in Kapil Sharma's recent transformation, curious about the 21-21-21 method and whether it would work for them. Some even asked if they could start with this approach instead of the typical diet plans usually recommended by dietitians and nutritionists Muskan Soni, nutritionist Phase 1: Days 1–21 Ensure 6–7 hours of quality sleep each night. Begin your day with a protein-rich breakfast, especially if you usually skip it. Incorporate a brisk 20–30 minute walk into your routine. Opt for stairs instead of the lift or escalator whenever possible. Phase 2: Days 22–42 Reduce eating out to once every 7–15 days. Choose simple home-cooked dinners, such as dal-rice, khichdi, mixed dal cheela, or dosa. If indulging in a cheat meal, have it during the daytime rather than late-night gatherings. Phase 3: Days 43–63 Limit alcohol intake to once or twice a month. Enjoy your favourite dessert just once a month — minus the guilt. Switch from regular milk coffee to black coffee or green tea. If you love masala chai, try it with less milk and sugar, and reduce both quantity and frequency. (as suggested by nutritionist Muskan Soni)
