Vijay Mallya Performed Sameera Reddy's Kanyadaan: 'He Gave Me Away To The Groom'
Last Updated: Sameera Reddy once revealed Vijay Mallya did her kanyadaan and opens up about her love story with husband Akshai Varde. Vijay Mallya is no stranger to headlines—be it for his flamboyant lifestyle, legal controversies, or his past connection with the IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore. But amid all the buzz around RCB's recent IPL win, an unexpected story from his personal life has caught public attention: his special role in actress Sameera Reddy's wedding. In a 2014 interview with DNA, Sameera revealed that it was Vijay Mallya who performed the kanyadaan at her wedding. 'Only Vijay Mallya, who is related from my mother's side, gave me away to the groom. That apart, there were only friends and family," she had shared. Though not a direct blood relative, Mallya, connected through her maternal side, was the one who walked her down to the mandap in a touching gesture that many fans hadn't heard about before. The wedding itself was a low-key affair, attended only by close friends and family. But before the big day, Sameera's love story with now-husband Akshai Varde had its own twist of fate—and it didn't start off as perfectly as one might expect. Speaking to the Free Press Journal, Sameera once described how her relationship with Akshai began during a promotional event for her film Tezz. As part of the campaign, she had to ride a motorcycle, and that's when she met him—he owned the company involved with the event. 'It was my lucky day because the owner of the company Akshai Varde, came too. It was love at first sight for me. I was besotted and I almost dropped the bike while riding it. He seemed to be more worried about the bike than me. Funny that he didn't even consider dating me or look at me in that way. I had to make all the first moves and yes I asked him for his number first!" she had said. That bold move led to a real-life romance, and the two eventually tied the knot. Sameera Reddy movies Sameera Reddy first stepped into Bollywood in 2002 with Maine Dil Tujhko Diya, starring opposite Sohail Khan and Sanjay Dutt. She later made a mark with performances in films like Musafir, Taxi Number 9211, Race, De Dana Dan, and Tezz. Despite stepping back from acting, she remains a popular figure on social media, known for sharing honest insights into motherhood and body positivity. First Published:

Salman Khan shares video of Sohail Khan smoking with cautionary message: ‘Wake up, cigarette is injurious to health'
Superstar Salman Khan has a different way of supporting his brother Sohail Khan, and it comes with a health warning. The actor shared a video of his brother smoking on his Instagram, with a cautionary message that 'cigarette smoking is injurious to health'. Also read: Sikandar on OTT: Salman Khan film gets panned again, internet says 'learn something from Shah Rukh Khan's action films' Salman dropped a new post on Instagram on Tuesday. In the video, Sohail is shown trapped in a well with goons, and as he stubs out his cigarette, he declares, 'Now that my cigarette is over, I'll finish these guys.' What follows is an intense action sequence where Sohail takes down the men with ease. Sharing the video, Salman wrote, 'Wake up… Cigarette smoking is injurious to health and so are farzi (fake) friends… It's all about family." Salman used Ravi Varma and action director as hashtags to his post, hinting that the stunts have been choreographed by Ravi Varma. A post shared by Salman Khan (@beingsalmankhan) The video clip appears to be a raw, behind-the-scenes look from an upcoming project, complete with written notes and instructions like "CGI follows" and "remove ladder'. 'Salman Khan fans assemble,' one fan wrote in the comment section, with another mentioning, 'Please make a move on this!! It will be a blockbuster! I have been a big fan of @sohailkhanofficial since his first movie, Maine Dil Tujhko Diya.' Salman Khan was last seen in Sikandar, which failed to make a mark at the box office. Sikandar is Salman's first Eid release in two years. It was released in theatres on March 30. Sikandar tells the story of a man, Sanjay Rajkot, who takes on a corrupt politician, upending his life. Helmed by AR Murugadoss, the action drama also featured Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, and Sathyaraj in key roles. Despite receiving criticism for its direction and performances, the film managed to cross ₹100 crore at the box office and ultimately grossed over ₹200 crore worldwide. However, considering Salman Khan's standards, the film was deemed an underperformer at the box office.

‘Main sadko pe aa jaunga': Shah Rukh Khan's Main Hoon Na co-star Kabir Bedi recalls losing work opportunities after son's death
Trigger Warning: This article mentions someone's death. Kabir Bedi is one of the international actors from India who has worked across continents. He was a part of a James Bond movie and shared screen with many Bollywood actors like Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, and more. But there was a time when he was struggling financially and lost work opportunities after his son's death. He also thought 'main sadko pe aa jaunga' (I will be homeless) when things didn't go as planned. Veteran Bollywood actor Kabir Bedi is a well-known star, not just in India but abroad too. Even though he was able to turn the tables and end up being a successful actor, he had lost all hope in the 90s. While talking to BBC News Hindi, the Main Hoon Na actor shared, 'Ek point aaya jab ki mai tabah ho gaya tha (There was a point when I was shattered), not just financially but emotionally also because it came at a point when all my financial investments had turned against me.' The senior actor stated that it was a difficult period in the late 1990s because at that time, his son with Protima Bedi, Siddharth, had died. The Khoon Bhari Maang actor didn't know what he was doing. He would go for auditions and wouldn't understand what he was saying. This led to him losing work and opportunities, and things just went downhill from here. But one day, he thought to himself, 'Ye silsila agar aese he chalta raha toh mai bardaab ho jaaunga, sadko pe aa jaaunga. (If things continue like this, then I will lose everything and become homeless.)' He gave himself a little pep talk and reminded himself of his abilities that helped him come from Delhi to Mumbai, fly to Europe, and become a star. So, the Kacche Dhaage actor moved to England and slowly started rebuilding his life by working on one project at a time. Some of the other popular movies of Kabir Bedi include Maine Dil Tujhko Diya, The Hero: Love Story of a Spy, Taj Mahal: An Eternal Love Story, Kites, Dilwale, Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3, Berlin, and more.

Sameera Reddy's Fitness Coach Reveals Her Tailored Fat Loss Program
Last Updated: Sameera Reddy's fitness coach, Ashwyn Michael Barreto, talked in detail about the training program, including her 'no-fad' diet. Sameera Reddy, known for her roles in films such as Maine Dil Tujhko Diya, Race and Musafir, had an incredible weight loss journey. The actress has never stopped documenting her journey on social media, from weighing over 90 kg to shedding kilos within a few years and living a healthy life. Wondering what helped her through this process? According to her fitness coach, Ashwyn Michael Barreto, she follows a very meticulously tailored programme based on her body's needs. In a candid conversation, Sameera Reddy 's fitness coach, Ashwyn Michael Barreto, CEO and co-founder of ThatLifestyleCoach (TLC) in Goa, revealed that the actress initially took part in various rigorous training programmes. However, they were not meeting her body's demands. She turned to professional training programmes that boosted her resilience, energy, and confidence. 'Sameera and I began working together when she realised her previous approaches—like Pilates, yoga, and running—weren't delivering the results she hoped for. Despite her consistent, rigorous training, she struggled with fat loss and felt frustrated. That's when she sought professional help instead of continuing on her own," Barreto told the Indian Express. Barreto revealed that his structured wellness programme, which worked for Sameera's body since 2022, was made after assessing her age, lifestyle, past training history, dietary methods, and hormonal challenges. 'Sameera's programme is tailored to her energy levels and her history of stiffness and fat retention," he added. During the initial four weeks, the diva focused on mastering movement patterns, establishing proper form and technique to practise those movements regularly, boosting proprioception (body awareness), enhancing joint stability and mobility, and nurturing healthy eating habits in her lifestyle. He shared, 'Weeks five to eight transitioned into strength and hypertrophy (muscle growth), with progressive overload and a protein-rich diet to support recovery and lean muscle development." By the ninth week, the routine led to changes in her body, including improved muscle tone and posture and noticeable fat loss. Talking about her training programme, Barreto mentioned that it includes- Strength buildup three times per week through exercises such as deadlifts, squats, TRX rows, and presses that focus on the whole body and core. High-energy functional interval training once every week, concentrating on core stability and full-body agility. Daily work on mobility and flexibility to improve posture and prevent injuries. Low-impact cardio rather than high-impact moves like jumping and sprinting. The workout focused heavily on unilateral stability in the first month. Key Aspects Of Sameera's Diet Barreto shared, 'Like you may have guessed, Sameera follows a high-protein, high-fibre, and balanced nutrition plan to support her training and recovery," adding, 'We've also tailored her plan to include supplements based on her blood work to address specific deficiencies." 'Her nutrition is designed to be sustainable, such that it is built around real, whole foods rather than short-term fixes. It is adjusted based on activity levels, hormonal health, and recovery, and flexible such that nothing is entirely off-limits unless it's ultra-processed and devoid of nutritional value," said the fitness coach. He mentioned that earlier, Reddy tried cutting out carbs like rice, bread and all-purpose flour from her diet, but these turned out counterproductive for her energy levels and overall progress. 'We encourage mindful eating, not a reward-restriction cycle. She enjoys all foods in moderation, with portion control, and avoids unnecessary ultra-processed foods," Barreto elaborated. According to Barreto, her 'no-fad' diet includes – Lean proteins like chicken, fish, eggs, paneer, and tofu for muscle recovery and strength. Complex carbohydrates like quinoa, brown rice, and sweet potatoes to fuel her intensive exercises. Healthy fats like nuts, seeds, and avocado to maintain a balance of hormones and reduce inflammation. Antioxidant-rich and anti-inflammatory foods to manage oxidative stress and elevated cortisol levels.
