There's also the saas-bahu stories, and Ekta Kapoor is making money out of just that,' said Salman while talking to Lehren. Sharing that although people opine that marriage is the best thing, he has seen quite a few who are not happy in their married life.

They get along with each other fine.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD On the professional front, Salman Khan was last seen in Sikandar, which turned out to be a disappointment at the box office.

‘I started with 200…reached 1,000 abs a day': Aamir Khan on his pushing himself hard to get a chiselled physique for Ghajini; expert on risks of overtraining
Building a physique like the one Aamir Khan showcased in his 2008 film Ghajini didn't happen overnight—it required extreme dedication, discipline, and an almost unbelievable training routine. Appearing on Raj Shamani's podcast, Aamir shared a surprising detail about his fitness prep for the film, revealing how intense his workout sessions were during that time. When asked about how he trained to achieve the physique, he shared, 'Ghajini jab maine ki thi toh main bohot overtrain karta tha. Uss waqt main dinn mein 3-3.5 hours workout karta tha, ek hi baar mein (When I did Ghajini, I used to overtrain a lot. At that time, I used to work out for 3 to 3.5 hours a day in a single session).' When Shamani asked about his regimen, Aamir replied, 'Aap hasenge agar main bolunga aapko toh,' he said, adding, 'Mere trainer that Chintu (Satya), toh maine bola ek kaam karte hain, apun warm up abs se karte hain. Do cheezein ho jayengi… 2-in-1… warm up bhi ho jayega aur ho gaya abs. Toh first day humne 200 abs kiye, 200 se mera matlab hai – 20-25 crunches, 20-25 hanging leg raises… ab woh hua kya, body jo hai na adapt ho jaati hai. Toh 200 abs mere liye bohot aasaan ho gaye (My trainer was Chintu (Satya), so I said, 'Let's do one thing — let's start the warm-up with abs. That way, two things will get done… 2-in-1… the warm-up will be done, and abs too.' So, on the first day, we did 200 abs. By 200, I mean around 20-25 crunches, 20-25 hanging leg raises… Now, what happened is that the body starts adapting. So, doing 200 abs became very easy for me).' He continued in Hindi, 'That warm-up kept increasing. I did 200, and then one day, I was in the mood, so I pushed it to 300, then 400, and then I said, 'Let's make it 500.' So, in 1-2 months, I reached 1000… 1000 repetitions. And it used to take me 55 minutes. After that, I typically did two body parts in a day. My workout lasted 1.5 hours. So, it became 2.5 hours, and then I would do cardio for another hour. By the end of the workout, I used to be so exhausted that I'd go upstairs, take a shower, and just fall asleep.' Dr Lakshay Bhaktiani (PT), head physiotherapy, PSRI Hospital, tells 'Doing the same movement repeatedly, such as 1000 ab reps, can strain specific muscle groups and joints. Over time, this can lead to overuse injuries, muscle imbalances, or burnout. The effectiveness of such high-volume repetition tends to diminish as the body stops responding like it did initially. Even elite athletes benefit from variety and moderation in their routines.' Dr Bhaktiani mentions that the muscles and nervous system have become efficient at performing that movement. As a result, the exercise no longer stimulates the same growth or strength gains. This is known as a training plateau. To avoid this, he suggests regularly changing one's routine 'either by increasing resistance, altering the number of sets and reps, incorporating different movements, or focusing on different muscle groups.' Cross-training and adding flexibility, strength, and cardio elements can help prevent injuries and maintain overall fitness progress.

Today in the Meet Actor series, we bring to you a very popular face from the industry. An actor who actually wanted to become a director, trained under Satyajit Ray for the same, but also ended up portraying some of the most iconic roles on the silver screen. From Aamir Khan's Ghajini, Katrina Kaif's Merry Christmas, Sidharth Malhotra's Hasee Toh Phasee, to many more, we have seen this actor shine with his acting skills. He is none other than Tinnu Anand. Tinnu Anand's father, Inder Raj Anand, was a well-known writer in the Bollywood film industry. Despite his being a part of the glamor world, he did not want his son to enter the industry. But, the creative streak in him forced the veteran actor to go to his dad and confront him about his desire to direct a film. Tinnu had revealed that this had upset his father. But when he saw that his son did not want to do anything else, Anand was sent to the Satyajit Ray School. In an interview, the Ghajini actor has revealed how he was offered K Abass' film Saat Hindustani. The heroine of this film, Neena Singh, suggests Amitabh Bachchan 's name for a role in the film. To this, Abbas had said that Big B will have to come to Mumbai for auditions at his own expense, and this is how he landed in the dream city. It was Tinnu who took him to the filmmaker's office and was given the 'dirty job' of offering Big B Rs. 5000 for the entire film. Reportedly, Anand even got in a spat with Madhuri Dixit over her costume, which made the actress walk out of Shanakht. He is married to Shahnaz, daughter of veteran actor Agha. His wife, who is a writer and former editor of Star & Style magazine, financially supported the family when the actor was initially struggling in the industry.
