And she didn't stop there. In the following video, she goes for 100 kilograms. 'Strength builds quietly - until one day, you're lifting 100,' she notes. It's a win for someone who once struggled to open jar lids. Shoulder press and energy boosters Another part of her routine includes the seated dumbbell shoulder press. Alongside the video, she shares her top three energy boosters: good sleep, coffee, and NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide). Choosing the stretch over the shortcut The Majili actress also shows herself doing deep stretches. She writes, 'Lately, I've been choosing the stretch over the shortcut.' Her message is clear: growth isn't about rushing. It's about choosing what aligns with your purpose, even if it takes longer. Core workouts and Pickleball fun She continues her wellness routine with core exercises and a fun game of pickleball, accompanied by Raj Nidimoru. While the workouts help with strength and balance, pickleball adds a playful touch to her routine. It's a good reminder to mix discipline with joy. Her go-to health tonic The actress reveals a powerful drink made with lemon, ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, olive oil, Himalayan pink salt, and apple cider vinegar. She swears by its benefits for her health. Rest, reflection and a touch of Rumi A final quote she shares reads, 'As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.' She adds, 'Clarity doesn't come before action. It comes from action.' The post closes with peaceful moments, a tally counter, a bottle of sleep oil, and a coffee mug. Samantha 's fitness journey is about more than just physical goals. It's about listening to your body, making time for rest, and doing what you believe in. Her post serves as a reminder that wellness grows through intention and small, daily steps.

Praveen Kandregula: Crafting cinema with heart
He brought a refreshing twist to Tollywood with his breakout film Cinema Bandi and now with Subham. Filmmaker Praveen Kandregula is known for weaving everyday life into stories with heart and realism. An engineer by degree but a storyteller at soul, his passion for cinema was sparked way back in his school days. In an exclusive chat with CE, he opens up about his journey, inspirations, and everything in between. Excerpts Tell us about your film Subham. Raj Nidimoru sir, the creative producer, called me. By then, they had already developed quite a bit. I was busy with my next film Paradha when I got the offer. Once my shoot was wrapped, my direction department and I began working together on the script. We spent about six months on it. We had a dedicated script room, with colourful posters and a big flowchart pinned across the walls — just full of ideas. Raj sir's guidance really helped us during this phase. We also did a lot of auditions. How was Samantha's first production experience for you? It was beautiful. She wanted to make a clean, classy comedy. She was involved in the script, and we had workshops with her. She gave some great inputs to the actors — on how to perform, how to deliver certain emotions. It was a very personal film for her. She wanted to share a beautiful message about husband-wife relationships, conveyed in a subtle, organic way. She's also very chill as a producer — happy on set, and gives us the creative freedom we need. Our mindsets matched, even during scripting and editing stages. She was involved in everything. Definitely one of the coolest producers I've worked with.
