Salman Khan's secret to staying fit at 59: Eats ‘ghar ka khana', works out six days a week, and won't sleep without THIS
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been winning hearts and turning heads with his fit and muscular body for decades. From his shirtless look in 'Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya' (1998) to now, at almost 60, Salman still looks strong and sharp. So, what is the secret behind his amazing fitness? His trainer of over 20 years, Rakkesh R Uddiyar, once shared the inside scoop. Salman's old-school workout The 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' follows a classic bodybuilding routine called the giant set. In an earlier interview with Live Mint, Rakkesh revealed, 'Salman Khan follows an old-school, typical bodybuilding regime called the giant set. He performs about 10 different variations of chest exercises, such as inclines, push-ups, fly and more.' This means he does one exercise after another without stopping, except when moving from one to the next. Rakkesh explains, 'We start with one exercise, and he moves to the next without a break. The only rest he takes is when walking from one exercise to another. This is a very intense workout called HIIT, with no rest in between. He doesn't do heavy weightlifting but focuses on volume training. He will drink water in between. ' No long breaks, just quick walks You might think breaks are important, but Salman's trainer says short rests are enough. 'If you are walking from one exercise to another, it hardly takes 30 seconds, which is fundamentally enough rest. HIIT makes you sweat, tires you out faster and burns more calories in a shorter time.' Salman keeps his workouts short and sharp. 'He believes that you should be done with your workout within 45 minutes to 1 hour; it is scientifically correct,' says Rakkesh. Training six days a week The 'Kick' actor is very consistent. 'Salman Bhai usually works out 6 days, one day he takes rest. Somedays when he is shooting an action scene or dancing too much, we might compromise on cardio but weight training still remains, without a doubt.' He listens to his body and adjusts his training. 'Even before I entered the industry, Salman had been training. He has been working out for the last 30-40 years. He knows and understands his body well. He listens to it. He trains aggressively when a body shot is required and takes it easy when needed.' Early morning cardio and weight training every day The 'Dabangg' star starts his day with fasted cardio right after waking up. 'Early morning after he wakes up, he does fasted cardio. He finishes his weight training whenever he finds time-- before the shoot, after the shoot, or even during the shoot. But, he has to get it done. Without weight training and cardio, he won't sleep!' The power of 'Ghar Ka Khana' The 'Andaz Apna Apna' star's diet is simple but effective. He prefers home-cooked food made by his mother, Salma Khan . 'He only eats home food, cooked by his mother. No matter what food you bring him, he would say, 'Ghar ka khana do. Mummy ne jo banaya wahi khana lagao. Wahi khaunga (I will eat home-cooked food, made by my mom).'' His meals are balanced and healthy. 'In the morning, he has porridge, eggs, and fruits. In the afternoon, he eats home-cooked food, either fish or chicken.' Salman is careful about what he eats. 'Salman takes some rice and prefers more vegetables. His salads are a priority. When preparing for an action scene, he starts reducing his food intake two months in advance. Once the shoot is done, he returns to his normal diet. There is no particular diet plan. He is a healthy eating guy,' says Rakkesh. Cheat meals are allowed, but in moderation Even the fittest people enjoy treats, and Salman is no different. He has a cheat meal once a week but keeps it controlled. 'He has a cheat meal once a week, but his calorie intake never exceeds 2000 calories. 'Isse upar maine kabhi dekha hi nahi hai unhe khate huye.'' On the work front, Salman was last seen in A.R. Murugadoss' film 'Sikandar', which also starred Rashmika Mandanna and Kajal Aggarwal . The film did not meet box office expectations. After its run in cinemas, it was released on OTT on 25 May.

Meet actor, who gave Rs 3000 to Nana Patekar when he was facing financial crisis, has not asked for money so far
Nana Patekar is one of most renowned faces in the industry. The veteran actor started his journey at age of 13 in theatre, where he mastered his craft as an artist. However, after featuring in Salaam Bombay, Nana gained significant momentum, marking the beginning of his impressive acting journey. But, did you know before becoming a phenomenon name in the industry, there was another actor who helped Nana during his most challenging time? Let's identify who this person is. The Veteran Actor Of Bollywood Here, we are talking about actor-comedian Ashok Saraf , who has worked in more than 200 films in Hindi and Marathi industry. His notable work includes Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Joru Ka Ghulam, Gupt, Singham, Yes Boss, Ashi Hi Banwa Banwi and many others. At the starting phase, Ashok was doing two jobs, one was as banking employee, while the other was in theatre due to financial burden as well as his love for cinema. Meanwhile, Ashok used to work in the same theatre where Nana started his journey. During that time, Ashok became a known face and was senior to Nana. He used to earn Rs 250 for play, while Nana used to get Rs 50 at that time. However, this difference did not create any impact on their friendship. When Ashok Helped Nana Patekar Recently, during an interview with ETimes, Nana shared an interesting story about the time when he was facing financial hardships and then how his beloved friend Ashok helped him. He recalled, 'Once I was in dire need of money and when Ashok came to know about this, he went to his house and gave him a blank cheque and told me that he had Rs 15,000 in his account and I could withdraw as much as I wanted. I took Rs 3,000 from his account, which he has not asked for back till date.' More about Nana Patekar and Ashok Saraf Nana Patekar is currently gearing up for this year's highly-anticipated release, Housefull 5 , which has star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Chitrangada Singh, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjeet, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir.

When Nana Patekar recalled receiving Rs 5 from Ashok Saraf for massaging his feet: 'He would purposely lose in card games...'
Ashok Saraf, a celebrated Marathi actor, supported his friend Nana Patekar during his early, financially challenging days. They performed together in theatre, where Ashok, already established, aided Nana through small gestures like paying him for massages and intentionally losing card games. Ashok also offered Nana a blank cheque during a time of urgent need, showcasing his generosity and unwavering support. Marathi cinema has produced many talented actors, and Ashok Saraf is among its most celebrated. Known as 'Mahanayak', 'Ashok Samrat', and 'Mama', he began his journey in theatre before making a mark on the big screen. Along with a successful Marathi film career, he also appeared in several Hindi films like Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Koyla, Gupt, Yes Boss, and Singham. Interestingly, he shares a long-standing friendship with fellow actor Nana Patekar , dating back to their early career days. Early Careers and Support Ashok Saraf began his career well before Nana Patekar. Both were active in theatre and performed in several shows together. At the time Nana was struggling to establish himself and faced financial difficulties, while Ashok was already a well-known actor. It was Ashok who supported Nana during those early challenging years. A Special Friendship Memory At an event, Nana Patekar shared a touching memory about his friendship with Ashok Saraf. He revealed that whenever Ashok was traveling for a play, Nana would massage his feet and head with oil—and Ashok would pay him Rs. 5 for it. During their time performing in the play Hamidabaichi Kothi, Ashok Saraf earned Rs. 250, while Nana Patekar received Rs. 50. In their free time, they often played card games, where Ashok would purposely lose to give Nana some extra money. Nana was aware of this, but accepted it due to his financial struggles. A Generous Gesture in Tough Times When Nana was in urgent need of money, Ashok visited him at home and handed him a blank cheque, saying he had Rs. 15,000 in his account and Nana could withdraw whatever he needed. Nana took Rs. 3,000, and to this day, Ashok has never asked him to repay it. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
