77-year-old Mumtaz reveals the fitness advice she swears by: ‘Akshay Kumar told me…'
Who would have thought that yesteryear actor Mumtaz would have a fitness connection with Akshay Kumar? The 77-year-old recently opened up about her disciplined lifestyle and credited Kumar, 57, for sharing a crucial fitness guideline — that she has followed to date. In a chat with Radio Nasha Official, Mumtaz shared, 'I am very strict about food. I don't eat much. I don't eat the wrong thing, lots of exercise, I take care of my face, my hair, and I make my mask. And I am very particular about timings.' Further detailing her schedule, The Roti actor added: 'I sleep at about 9-10 pm, and I get up at 4-5 in the morning. I do my exercise at 7 am, then I drink black tea. Then I take very little breakfast, not very fattening. And that's it. Then I have lunch. I don't have dinner. I just take some fruit.' She added, 'Akshay Kumar told me, 'Don't eat after 5-6 pm.' So I learnt that from him.' Not very long ago, Akshay too spoke about having an early dinner. While many people cannot have an early dinner due to hectic schedules, experts reiterate that eating the last meal by 5-6 p.m. can do wonders for your health. 'Eating your dinner early can benefit your overall health,' said Dr Manjusha Agarwal, senior consultant, internal medicine, Gleneagles Hospital, Parel, Mumbai. Eating food late at night can induce a host of health issues. 'But, an early dinner gives your body enough time to digest food properly before bedtime, reducing the risk of indigestion, bloating, acidity, or heartburn. Late-night meals often lead to discomfort and poor sleep, as the body is still working to break down food. By finishing dinner earlier, your metabolism will improve instead of becoming sluggish, and your body can focus on rest and repair while you sleep,' said Dr Agarwal. Heavy meals late at night can also lead to weight gain. According to Dr Agarwal, eating early will allow you to stay active and energised the next morning, and your gut will also thank you. 'Remember, you don't have to follow any fad or crash diets. Maintain proper meal timing, and you can surely stay healthy. Make it a point to avoid eating late at night, which can make a big difference,' said Dr Agarwal.

Mumtaz Reveals Yash Chopra 'Liked' Her, Proposed Marriage: ‘I Said No...'
Last Updated: Mumtaz reveals Yash Chopra once proposed to her, says she declined to focus on work. Veteran Bollywood star Mumtaz, who reigned as one of the highest-paid actresses during the 1970s, recently made a surprising revelation about legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra. In a candid chat with Radio Nasha, Mumtaz shared that Chopra once proposed marriage to her — back when he was just starting out in the industry. 'Yash ji used to genuinely like me very much," she said, recalling the moment. 'He was an assistant at that time under his brother, BR Chopra. He used to like me. I'm not saying I was very beautiful, I was reasonable, so he used to like me. I was young and he was an assistant. Unhone bohut sharafat se, tameez se mujhe shaadi offer kari. He said, 'Moti Moti, I love you', and I said, 'No, I want to focus on work, I wanted to get somewhere'." The Khilona star added that she had deep respect for the filmmaker. 'Bohut hi acche insaan the. Unke jaisa accha insaan aur director bohut kum hai. Unka beta Aditya bhi ab accha director hai. Par unone bohut izzat se mujhe shaadi offer ki thi, aisa nahi ki line maar rahe hai. Voh bohut shareef insaan the. Fir jab unhone shaadi ki, toh main unki shaadi mein bhi gayi. We were very, very good friends." Mumtaz eventually married businessman Mayur Madhvani in 1974. The couple has two daughters. Following her marriage, she stepped away from acting and took a 13-year-long break. Now, the iconic actress is considering a comeback—but with conditions. Speaking to Instant Bollywood recently, Mumtaz shared that she's yet to receive a role that suits her image or personality. She's not interested in stereotypical roles of older women unless they genuinely resonate with her. She explained, she would only return to acting 'for a character that truly suits her presence" and made it clear that she's 'not willing to take on the role of someone's mother unless the part resonates with her expectations."

Rajesh Khanna used to hit THIS actress, touched her nose, people thought they were..., her name is...
Rajesh Khanna used to hit THIS actress, touched her nose, people thought they were..., her name is... There are numerous stories in Bollywood where reel relationships spark off-screen rumours. One such speculation that garnered traction in 90s involved Bollywood's evergreen on-screen pair, Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz. In a recent candid chat, Mumtaz opened up about her unique bond with Rajesh Khanna, and why people assumed that they were more than just co-stars. While talking to Radio Nasha, Mumtaz recalled her first meetup with superstar Rajesh Khanna, 'I didn't know him that time. I met him first time when I got to know that there is a hero Rajesh Khanna with whom I had to work. I said first ask him if he wants to work with me. That's how I got my first picture with him, Do Raaste. He has been very kind to me, we were very good friends.' She said. Mumtaz further talked about sharing a playful bond with him, which made people believe that they were in a relationship. The actress shared, 'When you do 15 films with a hero, then you develop a timing with each other. Kaka sirf mere saath hi aisa karta the (He used to do these things only with me). Sometimes he used to put something on my face, hit on my hips or touch his nose to mine during a song. So people thought, 'Dekh dekh chakkar chal raha hai, dekho kitne nazdeek hai. Jaisa Kaka ke saath Mumtaz chipakti hai naa vaisa kisiko bhi nahi chipakti. Kuch chakkar hai (There is something going on between them. The way she gets close with Kaka, she doesn't do it with any other hero).' All our films were hit, that's why they used to say 'they are having an affair'.' Since Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz shared a close bond, she was asked whether he was ever possessive about her. She stated that it's quite natural for any man to be possessive about their favourite woman. For the unversed, Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz collaborated in many memorable films including Do Raaste, Bandhan, Sachaa Jhutha, Dushmun, Aap Ki Kasam, and Roti. In 1970s, they were considered one of Bollywood's most loved on-screen pairs, and their wonderful chemistry evidently gave many box office hits.
