Host Jay Bhanushali showed her pictures of six legendary actors – Dharmendra, Rajesh Khanna, Jeetendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha, and Rishi Kapoor – and asked which one got the most nervous in romantic scenes. Without hesitation, Jaya replied, 'Dharam Ji.'
She explained, " Hero se zyada mujhe friend nazar aate hai. Lekin jo reharsal mein karte hai, wo take mein nahi hota. Kyunki take mein kuch aur karte hai. [More than a hero, he seems like a friend to me. But what he does in rehearsal, he doesn't do in the actual take, because he does something else during the take.]'

Yo Yo Honey Singh has shed 17 kg in a month, dropping from 95 kg to 77 kg. After a fan raised health concerns, the rapper responded with his trademark wit: 'Kuch Nahi Hua Manhoos.' Yo Yo Honey Singh has stunned fans with a jaw-dropping physical transformation, shedding nearly 17 kilos in just one month. The Brown Rang hitmaker went from 95 kg to a leaner 77 kg, and while his chiselled new look has been winning praise, it has also sparked concern among his admirers. Recently, a fan shared a video on Instagram comparing Honey's current look with his older pictures, pointing out that his face — especially his nose — looked different.

But Honey Singh was quick to dismiss the speculation in his trademark witty style. Reacting to the video, he wrote, 'Kuch nahi hua manhoos 😂 m working out hard for glorious days." Arun Kumar, Mr. Asia 2022 and Honey's personal fitness coach, revealed to Aaj Tak that a customised green juice diet played a pivotal role in his rapid transformation. Morning: A detoxifying green juice, often blended vegetables or pulp. Lunch: Boiled chicken with rice, maintaining the right protein-carb ratio. Evening: A light vegetable soup or boiled chicken. Dinner: Green vegetables or soup for vitamins and fibre. Alongside this strict diet, Honey follows an intense workout regime involving strength training, cardio, and high-rep sets. According to his trainer, the singer never skips workouts — whether it's early morning or past midnight. What Fans Are Saying While some fans continue to express concern about the sudden weight loss, many others are hailing Honey Singh's dedication and discipline. His sharp reply and upbeat spirit have only added to the buzz, proving that the rapper is gearing up for what he calls his 'glorious days."

Recently, he opened up about his life journey through the Netflix documentary Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous. The film highlights his battle with alcoholism, mental health issues, the highs of fame, and his inspiring comeback.

Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt's trainer teaches 5 simple steps to master 5 variations of push-ups with confidence
Synopsis Yasmin Karachiwala, a leading fitness trainer, shares a simple 5-step push-up progression to build strength, improve form, and boost confidence. Starting with wall and incline push-ups, the sequence gradually helps beginners develop proper technique and muscle control. Take a look at the five simple steps! Yasmin Karachiwala trained top Bollywood actresses like Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt. (Credit: Instagram) Building strength and mastering form is a journey, not a race. It's about starting small, staying consistent, and trusting the process. Yasmin Karachiwala, renowned Pilates instructor and celebrity fitness coach, found that breaking down movements into simple, progressive variations helps build not only physical strength but also the confidence to push further. She has shared the five-step sequence, which is designed exactly for that, to help you develop a strong foundation and gradually level incline push-up on knees is a beginner-friendly exercise where you place your hands on a raised surface like a bench or table while keeping your knees on the ground. This position reduces the amount of body weight you lift, making it easier to focus on good form—keeping your body straight from your head to your knees—and helps build strength gradually. It's a great way to gain confidence and improve your chest, shoulder, and arm muscles before moving on to regular push-ups. A wall push-up is a beginner-friendly exercise where you stand facing a wall, place your hands flat against it at shoulder height, and then bend your elbows to bring your chest closer to the wall before pushing back. This movement helps build upper body strength while letting you focus on keeping your body straight and controlled. It's great for developing good form and building confidence before moving on to harder push-up variations. A knee push-up is a modified version of a regular push-up where you keep your knees on the ground instead of your feet. This reduces the weight you lift, making it easier to focus on keeping your body straight from your knees to your head and using the right muscles. It helps you build upper body strength and improve your form step-by-step, giving you confidence as you work up to doing full push-ups. An incline push-up is done by placing your hands on a raised surface like a bench or table while keeping your feet on the ground. This makes the exercise easier than a regular push-up because you're lifting less body weight, allowing you to focus on keeping a straight body and using the right muscles. It helps build upper body strength and good form gradually, boosting your confidence before trying standard push-ups. A push-up is a classic exercise where you start in a plank position with your hands on the ground, shoulder-width apart, and your body in a straight line from head to heels. You bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the floor, then push back up. This move builds strength in your chest, shoulders, arms, and core while helping you practice good form. With regular practice, push-ups improve your muscle power and give you confidence to try more challenging variations. Yasmin Karachiwala is a well-known Indian fitness trainer who started her journey into fitness at the age of 18, not out of passion, but due to a friend's push. Though she once disliked physical activity, she slowly built her strength and confidence through persistence and dedication. A turning point came when she was asked to lead a class, and she discovered her love for teaching. After becoming one of the first certified fitness instructors in India in 1991, Yasmin's career took off. Today, she is celebrated as the 'trainer to the stars,' having trained top Bollywood actresses like Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, and Alia Bhatt.
