Gauahar Khan lost 10 kgs after son's birth by eating only ‘leaves and soups': ‘I lost 10 kgs in 10 days'
Actor Gauahar Khan welcomed her first child, a baby boy named Zehaan, with husband Zaid Darbar in May 2023. Just a few months after giving birth, she returned to her co-hosting duties on the sets of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa season 11. In a recent interaction, Gauahar revealed that she went on an only salad and soup diet six months after giving birth and lost 10kgs in 10 days, as she was eager to return to work and wanted to look her best on screen. Speaking on The Debina Bonnerjee Show, she said, 'I was conscious that I'm going to be on screen again, and I can't take that lightly. For six months, I breastfeed but I was not exclusively breastfeeding, I was also using formula. But for those six months, I didn't take care of my food that much as I was breastfeeding and I had that responsibility. I was eating normal food, keeping in mind the carbohydrates, fat and protein content needed for Zehaan.' Gauahar revealed that after six months of giving birth to Zehaan, she decided to wean him off breast milk and made drastic changes to her diet to quickly lose weight. She said, 'Six months after his birth, I decided to wean him off breast milk and from that day I went on an only salad diet. My diet was only leaves and soup. I zipped my mouth. I literally did. I was not on a diet. I was eating things properly, but it used to be salads and soup form. I left non-veg. I left mutton. It is my most favourite thing to eat, but I left it because it is high in calories. I left all that because I wanted to work.' Earlier in 2023, Gauahar took to Instagram to share a photo of herself, revealing that she lost 10 kilos of postpartum weight in just 10 days after giving birth to Zehaan. She wrote, 'Lost 10 kgs in 10 days postpartum! Alhamdulillah! Six more to go!' In an earlier interaction with Red FM, Gauahar admitted that she faced criticism on social media after she shared her weight loss journey. She said, 'You know a lot of people actually told me 'Why are you showing that you've lost weight? Why are you showing that you've reduced so much? Think about other women. The things we can't do, you have so many gym trainers and you have so many'… comments like these also come.' But Gauahar clarified that she doesn't have any expensive trainer or nutritionist. She said, 'No, I don't have any expensive gym trainers, I don't have any diets being given to me. You need to zip your mouth for yourself, you need to do proper research, which I have done.' Gauahar is currently pregnant with her second child.

Ragini Khanna Says ‘Don't Call Me Govinda's Niece', But Why?
Last Updated: Ragini Khanna has freely expressed her desire to be recognised and remembered for her personal work and successes. Ragini Khanna, a television actress, opened up about how being associated with Bollywood icon Govinda affected her. In her latest interview, she explained how such titles not only diminish her own accomplishments but also felt disrespectful to Govinda. She has freely expressed her desire to be recognised and remembered for her personal work and successes in the entertainment industry rather than her familial connections. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Ragini claimed that being referred to as simply Govinda's niece increased her struggles as a newcomer. She said, 'I don't understand this, because he is in the acting realm and has done a lot of work, so it's easier for people to remember him. The audience has become very convenient — they don't want to remember a person's name, only the relationship. If that fetches viewership for producers, that's what everyone encourages. But I feel it actually increases your struggle as a newcomer. You're burdened with such a heavy image and responsibility." She added that all her cousins got the title of Govinda's nephew and believes it's unjust to them. Many of them have done substantial work and do not deserve to be referred to merely through that link. Ragini added, 'It discredits the person's talent and hard work. If, after everything I've done, people still remember me only for my relationship with my uncle, then I wonder — where is my work in the picture?" Ragini Khanna's Career In Showbiz Ragini Khanna made her television debut in 2008 with Radhaa Ki Betiyaan Kuch Kar Dikhayengi, which was followed by episodes such as Bhaskar Bharti. Her most well-known part, however, was as Suhana Kashyap in Sasural Genda Phool. She's also appeared on reality shows like Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (Season 4), Comedy Nights Live, Comedy Circus, and others. Moving on from TV, Ragini made her big screen debut with Teen Thay Bhai and has since appeared in films such as Posham Pa, Gurgaon and Ghoomketu starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
