It's been a refreshing challenge: Karan Johar on making his debut on audio platform
Mumbai, Filmmaker Karan Johar says hosting his debut podcast series, Live Your Best Life with Karan Johar, turned out to be a 'unique' and 'therapeutic' experience. Through the audio series, audiences will get to listen to the filmmaker's conversations with his inner circle on how to truly live your best life in today's fast-paced world. 'At my core, I'm a storyteller, I'm always excited to experiment with new mediums and formats. Venturing into the world of audio has been a unique experience - it's like discovering a new canvas to paint on. There's a different freedom that comes with audio storytelling. "Without the visual element, I've had to rely on the power of words to weave a narrative that captivates the listener's imagination. It's been a refreshing challenge, and I love those,' the filmmaker told PTI. Johar, the director of commercial blockbusters such as "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...", "My Name Is Khan" and "Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani", said he was amazed by the intimacy the audio format offers. "When people listen to podcasts or audio content, they're often doing so in a very personal space – their cars, their homes, their headphones. It's a one-on-one connection, and that intimacy has allowed me to connect with my audience in a way that feels almost therapeutic. "It's been an incredible learning curve, and I feel like I've grown as a storyteller because of it.' The show has an exciting mix of guests, including Konkona Sen Sharma, Richa Chadha, Ali Fazal, and Zakir Khan, among others. Johar said each guest brought their unique perspective and experiences to the show. 'One significant moment where I felt whole, conversing with Zakir Khan. What I admire most about Zakir is his ability to find humour in life's challenges and his candidness about his struggles. He's someone who wears his heart on his sleeve, and his stories are infused with valuable life lessons about perseverance, self-awareness, and the importance of staying true to oneself. I aspire to adopt that for my life,' he said. 'Live Your Best Life with Karan Johar' is available on the Audible app.

Herbalife's podcast Live Your Best Life, Unscripted simplifies nutrition with experts Dr. Parag Singhal and Dr. Ratnesh Lal
We live in a time where conflicting health advice floods our screens—where fad diets trend faster than facts, and where the noise around supplements often drowns out the science. That's where Herbalife India's podcast, Live Your Best Life, Unscripted, steps in — cutting through the clutter to bring grounded, expert-driven conversations on holistic well-being. In its second episode, titled 'Nutrition Simplified: Protein, Supplements, and Smarter Choices,' host Ajay Khanna, Managing Director of Herbalife India, sits down with two accomplished voices in the world of health and medicine: Dr. Parag Singhal, a UK-based endocrinologist and consultant physician, and Dr. Ratnesh Lal, a medical expert with Herbalife India who specializes in nutrition science and supplements. The episode begins by unpacking the fundamentals of nutrition — not with jargon, but with clarity. Listeners are guided through the essential roles of macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, and why micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals are equally vital, especially in the face of modern lifestyle challenges like diabetes, obesity, and hormonal imbalances. One of the key insights comes from Dr. Singhal: 'Nutrition isn't just about food. It's about functionality — immunity, cell repair, energy, and disease prevention. And that starts with understanding what your body actually needs.' What makes the episode stand out is its approachability. Whether you're an athlete or someone with a desk job, the doctors explain how protein requirements change with age, lifestyle, and activity levels. They also delve into the importance of supplementation, especially for vegetarians and those with busy, on-the-go routines that often lack balanced meals. Dr. Ratnesh Lal adds, 'Not all proteins are created equal. And not all supplements are smart choices. The key is knowing what works for your body, reading the labels, and staying informed.' From demystifying whey and soy protein to addressing the controversial topic of red meat, the discussion stays refreshingly honest. It also emphasizes the need to seek professional advice before diving into supplement regimens—underscoring that moderation, personalization, and quality are non-negotiable. The episode doesn't just inform — it empowers. With a tone that balances science and simplicity, Nutrition Simplified is a must-listen for anyone curious about making better nutrition decisions.
