All about Harbhajan Singh & wife Geeta Basra's new show, 'Who's The Boss'
Harbhajan Singh, former Indian cricket player, and wife Geeta Basra, an actress, are about to start a new show together. "Who is The Boss" is a brand-new chat show that the celebrity couple is coming up with, which will soon be available on YouTube. The show will feature top Indian cricketers alongside their wives, shining a spotlight on the women who've stood strong behind the fame—sharing their journeys, sacrifices, and untold stories that rarely make headlines. 'Who's The Boss': About the concept The two discussed the show in brief in an exclusive interview with Movie Talkies. The goal of the talk show is to provide a unique window into cricket players' private lives and their chemistry with their partners. A unique, never-before-seen look into the lives of cricketing legends and their families will also be revealed by the show. Who's The Boss will bring together some of the most well-known figures in Indian cricket with their partners, and aims to shed emphasis on the women who support the renowned men; their struggles, sacrifices, and resilience that are frequently overlooked. Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra on 'Who's The Boss' Speaking at the launch event, when asked about how the idea for the show originated, Geeta Basra said, "I had this idea in my mind for a long time. I wanted to start it a few years ago, but then Covid happened and everything stalled. I then decided to execute it on my own and asked my brother, Deepak, who's in production, to get things started, and here we are." Harbhajan Singh said, talking about the same, "I liked the concept very much. It's about bringing the wives to the forefront and couples sharing amazing facts and funny stories about themselves." Will this show follow the trend of many podcasts and shows that only discuss controversial issues? As we know, many shows and podcasts focus solely on controversial topics, so will this show take that route? Bhajii paji was quick to say, "No. We are strictly against controversies. We don't want to force anyone to come to our show and speak about something that's not good. It's all going to be happy and full of smiles." Geeta further added, "No, no, no. A big no. This is going to be a fun show and a very sweet one. Everything has to be approved by us, and we will ensure that no controversies arise. We won't go that way at all. It's all up to the people we invite; we will ask them if anything awkward has happened and if they don't want to bring it up. We will take care of everything." While Harbhajan leads the way with this new talk show, Geeta is juggling her acting commitments, with upcoming roles in Mehr and Awasthi vs Awasthi.

Why Aamir Khan once refused to eat at Shah Rukh Khan's dinner party: ‘I have my tiffin box'
Aamir Khan is known to be a perfectionist, especially regarding work. So, it wasn't any different when he was trying to lose weight for his film Dangal. When he was invited to attend an exclusive party organised by Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan for Tim Cook when the Apple CEO was in India in 2019, Aamir surprised the dinner table when he brought his food. Due to his strict diet then, he refused to eat at the party. 'If you ever meet Shah Rukh, ask him this. He'll tell you a good story. Apple's Tim Cook had arrived with 4-5 people from America at his home. So, Shah Rukh invited us all to dinner. Gauri told me not to leave without having dinner. I assured her, 'Yes, I'll have dinner.' She said the food was served. I told her, 'No, no. I have my tiffin box.' They were like, 'Yaar, you've come to our home and brought your own food?' I told them it is not a formality, I am just following my diet. This was during Dangal,' Khan once told MovieTalkies. Inspired by his commitment, let's understand how carrying your food helps you stay on track. Carrying your food to parties gives you much-needed control over what you eat. How? Jinal Patel, dietician, Zynova Shalby Hospital Mumbai, elucidated that the meals (food you carry) align with the health and fitness goals you wish to achieve. 'When you prepare your food, you can measure portions, choose high-quality ingredients, and say NO to hidden calories, sugars, and unhealthy fats that can hurt your fitness or weight loss goals,' said Patel. According to her, one can put away distractions and indulge in healthy eating habits. 'You can watch what you eat and avoid high-calorie food due to self-awareness and strict diet monitoring. You will be able to stay regular with your nutrition plan, even during erratic schedules. It will eliminate the temptation to grab convenient but less nutritious options, and you will be able to attain your weight loss goals with this convenient approach,' said Patel. A post shared by Bollywood ORRYginals (@thebollywoodorryginals) Preparing meals in advance also helps to cultivate mindfulness, allowing you to connect with your food choices and make intentional decisions about what nourishes your body. 'You will see amazing transformational results. By carrying your food, you build healthy habits that highlight your commitment to a well-balanced lifestyle. It will boost your energy, aid recovery, and support long-term health goals. This is the best thing one could do to stay in top shape,' said Patel.
