This Muslim actress believes in both Hinduism and Islam, became hugely popular after..., but failed in Bollywood, her name is.., she is now... In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, many stars come with a suitcase full of dreams to make it big on the silver screen. But there are rarely a few who achieve that stardom and carve a name for themselves on the big screen. One such similar tale is of an actress who, although she garnered a lot of love and attention in the Television industry, couldn't find her footing in Bollywood. But despite that, her strong screen presence, beauty, and grace made her a household name. Besides being a familiar face in the TV industry, this actress is also in the spotlight because of her unique approach to faith and personal beliefs. Who was Aamna Sharif? The actress that we are talking about is none other than Aamna Sharif. Born on 16 July 1982 in Mumbai, Aamna comes from a culturally diverse background. Her father is Indian, while her mother is of Persian-Bahraini origin. Being born in a mixed-religion household, she believes in both the faiths – Hinduism and Islam. Aaamna Sharif Breakthrough Moment, Big Screen Debut, and More Aamna, best known for her work in Ekta Kapoor's hit TV show Kahin To Hoga, became a household name with her portrayal of Kashish Sujal Grewal, opposite Rajeev Khandelwal. The on-screen chemistry and the duo made them iconic. The show garnered a lot of love and attention and became one of the most loved serials of its time. In 2007, the show ended, and Aamna ventured into Bollywood. She appeared in films like Aloo Chaat, Aao Wish Karein, and Shakal Pe Mat Ja, but unfortunately, none of them couldn't made a mark and turned out to be a flop at the box office. After a streak of flops, she returned to television and appeared in Honge Juda Na Hum, opposite Rakesh Bapat. Unfortunately, this show also couldn't sustain for long and was pulled off-air within just 6 months of its start. Aamna's Personal Life Speaking of her personal life. Aamna tied the knot with film distributor-turned-producer Amit Kapoor in 2013. The couple embraced parenthood in the year 2015 and welcomed their son Aarain. Aamna, who believes in Hinduism and Islam both is seen celebrating Karva Chauth and Eid. Aamna is also quite close to actress Mouni Roy, who ties Rakhi to Amit every year. Where Was She Last Seen? After six years, in 2019, Aamna made her comeback with Kasautii Zindagii Kay. She played the role of Komolika Choubey, replacing Hina Khan in the iconic role. She played the role till the show continued in 2020. She was last seen in Damaged 3 on Hungama Play and Aadha Ishq on Voot Select in 2022, venturing her foot in OTT.

Panchayat star Aasif Khan suffers heart attack at 34, says 'Life is too short'; experts list signs to watch in your 30s
Popular actor of Panchayat, Aasif Khan, who is also a famous face on another OTT series called Mirzapur and Paatal Lok, reportedly suffered a heart attack on Monday evening. The 34-year-old actor took to his Instagram story to reveal the news. However, now he is in a stable condition and is out of danger. Well, it's just another day and another case of a heart attack in a young individual. The actor in the post assured his fans that he is recovering, but also warned fans not to take any day for granted. In the post, the actor wrote, 'Over the past few hours, I've been dealing with some health issues that required hospitalisation. I'm grateful to share that I'm now on the road to recovery and feeling much better.' Aasif also shared a photo from the hospital on his Instagram stories with a heartfelt post saying, "Realising after watching this for the past 36 hours, 'Life is short'; don't take one day for granted. Everything can change in a moment. Be grateful for all you have and all that you are. Remember who is more important to you and always cherish them. Life is a gift, and we are blessed (sic)." Rise in heart attack cases among young individuals Heart attacks, or myocardial infarctions, can occur in individuals who appear healthy, often due to a combination of underlying factors that may not be immediately evident. According to an Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) study, when it comes to cardiovascular risk factors, a critical and lesser-known fact is that they are additive. For example, a person who is diabetic and the one who smokes will significantly increase the risk of heart disease in the future. "One significant cause is the presence of atherosclerosis, a condition where plaque builds up in the arteries, narrowing them and restricting blood flow to the heart. Even seemingly healthy individuals can have silent, undiagnosed conditions that contribute to this process, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure," says Dr. Rahul Gupta, Director, Cardiologist, Gleneagles at Hospital Parel. Major reasons behind the rise in sudden attacks in people in their 30s There are multiple factors, including a rise in acute stress due to poor lifestyle habits, that can lead to physical and emotional responses that can increase the heart rate and blood pressure. "Stressful events or chronic stress can result in inflammation, contributing to plaque rupture and subsequent heart attacks," adds Dr. Gupta. Heart attack signs to look out for in your 30s Lifestyle decisions like smoking, eating poorly, and not exercising can also have a big impact. Diets heavy in processed foods, sweets, and saturated fats raise the risk of heart disease and obesity. "In the 30s, heart attack symptoms may be subtle and easily overlooked," says Dr. Nasiruddin G, Consultant-Internal Medicine, Fortis Hospital, Cunningham Road. Here are some warning signs mentioned below: Persistent chest discomfort or pressure Often described as tightness or heaviness Radiating to the left arm, neck, or jaw Shortness of breath during mild exertion Sudden fatigue Cold sweats Dizziness Nausea can signal underlying cardiac distress. Irregular heartbeat Palpitations Feelings of anxiety without cause may also be red flags. Dr. Nasiruddin also notes that while younger adults are generally at lower risk, family history, smoking, high cholesterol, obesity, and stress contribute to early onset.
