‘One spoon of rice': Salman Khan reveals what he eats in a day; says dad Salim Khan's ‘metabolism alag hai', still walks to Bandstand everyday at 89
Salman Khan made a memorable appearance in the season opener of The Great Indian Kapil Show, which kickstarted its new innings on Netflix last weekend. The episode has already become a hit among viewers, who are loving the fun and candid side of Salman as he jokes and banters with host Kapil Sharma, Archana Puran Singh, Navjot Singh Sidhu (who returned to the show after five years), and comedians like Sunil Grover, Krushna Abhishek, and Kiku Sharda. Recently, Sidhu shared a clip from the show on his YouTube channel, where Salman can be seen talking about his father, Salim Khan's health, fitness, and disciplined lifestyle.
He said, 'My dad, touchwood, Mashallah, he tells me that meri khuraq khatam ho gayi hai (my appetite has gone down) but touchwood he is like, 2-3 paranthe, then rice, the gosht, then dessert, twice a day. Unka ek metabolism alag hai. Unka discipline alag hai.' (He has a different metabolism. He has a different kind of discipline.) Salim is 89-year-old.
'So he has been walking all the way to Bandstand and back every single morning. We're so happy to see that. We are so proud that we have a father who's fighting it out.' Salman also went on to share his own diet routine, adding: 'I'll eat anything but won't overeat. Like say, 1 spoon rice or at max one and a half, whatever vegetables, then chicken or mutton or fish.'

In the same conversation, Salman reflected on his role in promoting fitness in the Indian film industry. He said he was among the first actors to popularize gym culture in the country, and he's delighted to see legendary actors like Dharmendra still going strong with their health routines. Salman's last feature, Sikandar, was a huge box office let-down. However, he is in no mood to stop, as he is gearing up for his next project, reportedly a war drama based on the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict. The film will be directed by Apoorva Lakhia, and Salman is expected to start shooting soon. He is also reportedly in talks with Kabir Khan for Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2.

Diljit Dosanjh's Border 2 In Big Trouble? FWICE Asks Amit Shah To Withdraw Shoot Permission
Last Updated: The film body mentioned that it has decided to officially boycott Diljit Dosanjh, who is collaborating with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his upcoming movie, Sardaar Ji 3. Stepping up its attack on Diljit Dosanjh, the Federation of Western lndia Cine Employees (FWICE) has written a fresh letter to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh asking them to withdraw shooting permissions for Border 2. The shooting of the film, which also stars Diljit in a key role, is currently underway at the National Defence Academy in Pune. 'We write to you with deep concern regarding the shooting permission reportedly granted to the production team of the film 'Border 2' at the National Defence Academy (NDA) premises in Pune," the FWICE letter to the ministers said. The film body mentioned that it has decided to officially boycott Diljit Dosanjh, who is collaborating with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his upcoming movie, Sardaar Ji 3. 'It is important to bring to your notice that the said film (Border 2) features actor Diljit Dosanjh, who has been officially boycotted by FWICE owing to his involvement with individuals and content that have deeply disrespected Indian sentiments, especially by associating with Pakistani artists known for their anti-lndia views, and participating in projects filmed in sensitive border locations like Pahalgam immediately following terror incidents targeting our armed forces," the letter added. 'The NDA, being a national symbol of military training and sacrifice, must not be used as a backdrop for a film involving an actor who is currently under public and professional boycott due to acts that undermine the spirit of national unity and hurt the sentiments of our defence community," it continued. In this regard, FWICE asked the Union Ministers to withdraw shooting permission of Border 2 to 'ensure that the integrity of sensitive defence installations is not compromised or associated with individuals facing legitimate public outrage." Previously, FWICE also wrote a letter to the makers of Border 2, expressing disappointment with the casting of Diljit Dosanjh in the movie. In its letter, addressed to Bhushan Kumar, Chairman & Managing Director, T-Series, JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta Producers, JP Films, and director Anurag Singh, FWICE mentioned that it is 'deeply disappointed" with the casting of Diljit Dosanjh in Border 2. Diljit Dosanjh has been accused of hurting national sentiments for casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3, especially after the shocking terror attack in Pahalgam earlier this year. Recently, the Punjabi singer-actor also broke his silence on the controversy and told BBC Asian Network that the project was completed before any of the current political tensions surfaced. Sardaar Ji 3, directed by Amar Hundal, is set for an overseas release on June 27. However, it will not be released in Indian theatres. First Published:

Akshaye Khanna fired Vidya Balan after she refused to do a film opposite him: ‘I was so scared, asked John Abraham to save me'
Vidya Balan, who made a powerful Bollywood debut with Parineeta in 2005, has carved a niche for herself as one of the most respected and versatile actresses in Indian cinema. With a string of memorable performances in films like Heyy Babyy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Paa, Ishqiya, No One Killed Jessica, Kahaani, and The Dirty Picture, she's built a legacy defined by bold choices and deeply layered characters. But behind her confident screen presence is a journey filled with self-doubt, tough decisions, and plenty of learning–especially when it came to turning down films early in her career. In a recent conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Vidya Balan opened up about one such moment from her early days, when she had to refuse a film opposite Akshaye Khanna—and didn't quite know how to handle it. 'I find it much easier to say no today than I did 20 years ago. I was so scared. I remember there was this film offered to me opposite Akshaye Khanna, and for some reason, I didn't connect with the script. But I couldn't pick up the phone and tell him that myself. I asked my manager to convey it to the director instead,' she said.

Vidya Balan later ran into Akshaye Khanna on the sets of Salaam-E-Ishq, and he playfully confronted her. 'He fired me!' she recalled with a laugh. 'He said, 'Why didn't you tell me you didn't want to do the film?' I was so embarrassed. I went up to John Abraham and said, 'Can you please save me?' I just didn't want any confrontation or to hurt anyone's feelings. But later, I realised he was just pulling my leg.' Vidya Balan was most recently seen in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, marking her much-anticipated return to the franchise after missing out on the 2022 sequel.
