Janhvi Kapoor's Trainer Reveals The Secret Behind Her Strong & Toned Body
Janhvi Kapoor is a fitness enthusiast, and she has often inspired fans with her dedication to Pilates. Recently, her trainer, Namrata Purohit, advocated the benefits of Pilates by sharing a throwback video from one of Janhvi's workout sessions. The wellness trainer revealed that the clip is from the actress' fitness routine just ahead of shooting a song, undoubtedly opening up the Param Sundari star's secret behind her vibrant energy. Check out Janhvi Kapoor's video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Namrata Purohit (@namratapurohit) The clip begins with the actress performing a variation of the Kneeling One Leg Pull or Legs in Strap exercise on a Pilates Reformer. Janhvi Kapoor can be seen balancing perfectly on a sliding carriage while holding the runner. She then places one knee on the runner and the other leg in straps attached to springs, providing adjustable resistance for various movements, including leg extensions and pulls. The exercise emphasises core strength, flexibility, balance, posture and coordination through controlled movements, utilising ropes, pulleys and springs to offer resistance to the other leg. It also helps tone muscles, build strength, correct muscle imbalances and potentially prevent injuries. As the scene changes, Janhvi Kapoor can be seen performing a variation of a Reformer Lunge or Single Leg Press. She places one foot on the carriage runner with the other on the floor, and her hands on the footbar for support. After one round, the star quickly switches leg positions and continues her exercise on the reformer machine. This workout targets the core, legs, and glutes through controlled movements, helping improve balance and core stability. Alongside the clip, the renowned fitness trainer writes, "Throwback to Janhvi Kapoor training on the day of her song shoot!" She further highlights the benefits of Pilates and writes, "Before every song, Janhvi makes sure to workout," so as to "feel strong and feel good." It is not the first time Janhvi Kapoor's fitness trainer has teased fans with glimpses from her Pilates training. In another post, the actress can be seen practising the single-leg deadlift on the reformer. Sharing the pictures, Namrata penned, "It's all about the balance."

The sacred 108
While there are many temples for Lord Narayana, there are 108, which are called Divya Desams, because they have been praised by the Azhvars. Pillai Perumal Iyengar, who came centuries after the Azhvars, wrote a work titled Nootrettu Tirupathi Andadi. This work is about the 108 kshetras praised by the Azhvars, said K.B. Devarajan in a discourse. Andadi is a genre of literature, where the last word of a verse becomes the first word of the succeeding verse. Pillai Perumal Iyengar tells us the location of the 108 sacred places. He records that Chola Nadu has two score Divya Desams. That means Chola Nadu has 40 Divya Desams. Pandya Nadu has two times nine, that is 18 divya desams. Malai Nadu (Kerala) has 13 divya desams. The region between the south and north of Tamil Nadu has two temples. We get the number of temples in Tondai Nadu, that is the northern part of Tamil Nadu, by adding six to two times eight. In other words, Tondai Nadu has 22 divya desams. Divya desams to the north of Tamil Nadu are 12 in number, including Salagramam in Nepal, and Thirupparkadal. Sri Vaikuntha, the abode of Lord Narayana, is also added to the list, and that brings the total to 108 most sacred places. Instead of blandly stating that there are 108 sacred places, Pillai Perumal Iyengar says it with rhyme and metre, making it easy to commit the locations to memory. Pillai Perumal Iyengar has praised these 108 places in his verses. Before he praises the deities of the various kshetras, he offers his salutations to the Azhvars. Among the Azhvars, he singles out Nammazhvar for special attention, dedicating one verse exclusively to him. This is followed by verses eulogising Acharyas like Ramanuja, Kooratazhhvan and Parasara Bhatta. The work begins with descriptions of the temples of Chola Nadu.

Video: Germany-Bound Boeing 757 Catches Fire Mid-Air, Diverted To Italy
New Delhi: Around 300 people on board a Boeing 757-300 had a near-death experience Saturday night when the plane's right engine caught fire shortly after taking off from Corfu in Greece. The plane, operated by German budget carrier Condor and bound for Dusseldorf, with 273 passengers and eight crew, made an emergency landing at the town of Brindisi in Italy an hour after it left Corfu. A terrifying video of the fire breaking out mid-air has been widely shared online. One 18-second clip is particularly scary; it shows sparks from the right fuselage, resembling the flicker of flame when trying to light a cigarette lighter. This continues for 15 seconds. A second video, posted by aviation news X handle FL360aero, shows the plane flying through what seems to be a flock of birds. In the comment the handle said the aircraft made an emergency landing in southern Italy due to 'engine failure caused by suspected bird strike'. A German Condor aircraft flying to Düsseldorf made an emergency landing in southern Italy due to engine failure caused by suspected bird strike. The Condor Boeing 757-330 aircraft (D-ABOK) flying from Corfu (CFU) to Dusseldorf (DUS) started spitting flames right after the… — FL360aero (@fl360aero) August 17, 2025 NDTV cannot independently verify the video, but flight tracking website shows flight DE3665 taking off from Corfu's Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport at 8.19 pm EEST (10.49 IST) on Saturday. Forty-three minutes later the plane landed at Casale Airport in Brindisi. News reports said the pilot shut down the faulty engine and tried to return to Corfu, before deciding to continue with only the other one still operational. Eventually it landed in Brindisi. Condor has apolgised for any inconvenience to passengers, who had to spend the night at the airport because of the lack of hotels in the town. They were flown to Dusseldorf the next day. The Boeing 757 is one of the oldest-serving passenger plane models - and nicknamed 'Atari Ferrari' - in the world and is now in its fifth decade of active service. This isn't the first time a Boeing plane has caught fire mid-air. Last month a Los Angeles-Atalanta flight operated by United States airline Delta had to return after the left engine erupts into flames. And on June 12 a London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner operated by Air India crashed seconds after taking off from Ahmedabad. All but one of the 272 people on board died, as did 19 others on the ground after the plane, which lost altitutde suddenly, crashed into a hostel. Investigations into the reason for the crash are ongoing, with initial reports flagging movement of the fuel supply control switches from the 'RUN' to the 'CUTOFF' positions.
