15 April,2025 02:17 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentIf there is one star who has managed to stay in the headlines over the past month, it’s Salman Khan. The actor has been making news for his movie Sikandar, which hit the big screen on March 30 and created quite a buzz. However, the film is not performing as expected, but that hasn't stopped Khan from having fun. In a new video, Salman Khan can be seen climbing a tree to pluck berries, shutting down all the rumours about his poor fitness. The video has gone viral on the internet, and fans are enjoying reacting to it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Salman Khan (@beingsalmankhan) Salman Khan climbs a tree Salman Khan is a true fitness freak, and his latest Instagram post is proof. The 59-year-old was seen climbing a tree to pick fresh berries. The video shows Salman on a high branch of the tree, shaking it so that the berries fall onto a cloth placed beneath. He looked as charming as ever in a black sleeveless T-shirt, blue shorts, and sports shoes. Shelling out major fitness goals, Salman captioned the post, “Berry good for u.” It must be noted that Salman was among the first few heroes in Bollywood credited with bringing the six-pack trend to the industry. Salman recently faced backlash as he appeared unfit and unhealthy during some public appearances. Netizens claimed that age was finally catching up to him, as his bloated stomach became a topic of discussion among trolls. Nevertheless, Salman looked extremely fit and active in his latest Instagram post. Salman Khan on the work front Work-wise, Salman was last seen in A. R. Murugadoss’ action entertainer Sikandar, alongside Rashmika Mandanna. Released on March 30, 2025, coinciding with Eid al-Fitr, Sikandar failed to make an impact on the audience. Up next, Sanjay Dutt has confirmed he will be working with ‘chhota bhai’ Salman in an upcoming action film. The actor also has Atlee’s directorial, Sooraj Barjatya’s next (after Ayushmann Khurrana’s starrer), and more in the pipeline. At the trailer launch of his movie The Bhootnii, Sanjay Dutt revealed he is all set to reunite with Salman Khan. “You’ve seen Saajan, you’ve seen Chal Mere Bhai, now get ready to see some tashan between us. I’m very excited for the movie. I’m also happy thinking that I’ll be working with my younger brother Salman after 25 years.” (With inputs from IANS)
11 April,2025 09:15 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentSinger-songwriter, actor Kaveri Kapur has taken a powerful step in destigmatizing mental health by opening up about her journey with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). In a heartfelt social media post, she shared her personal experiences and the coping mechanisms she has developed over the years—hoping her story might offer comfort and support to anyone else facing similar struggles. Kaveri’s vulnerability sheds light on the often-misunderstood realities of OCD—a condition marked by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that go far beyond simple habits. Her post is a reminder that while mental health battles are deeply personal, sharing them can create collective strength. Kaveri Kapur on her OCD journey In her own words, Kaveri said: "I'm having a rough night. My OCD is really acting up. If you don't know a lot about OCD, it basically comes with a lot of intrusive thoughts and rumination and compulsions. I keep wondering whether I've turned the lights off or the geyser off, even when I know I have—then keep checking and worrying about it." Despite the challenges, Kaveri has found empowering ways to manage her condition. She continued: "I've dealt with this for a long time, so I don't know—this might help someone who needs it." Check Out Her Post Below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kaveri (@kaverikapur) One of her most unique coping strategies involves naming her OCD 'Bob', a method of personification that helps her create psychological distance from the intrusive thoughts. "Whenever my OCD starts acting up, I just say, 'Oh Bob, here Bob goes again.' It helps me see the irrationality in the thought pattern—it’s like dealing with someone I know who doesn’t always make sense." She concluded her post by sharing her nighttime self-care ritual, saying she planned to do a sound bath to calm her nervous system and ease into sleep. "Hopefully I wake up feeling less anxious in the morning. So pray for me," she added with optimism and grace. Kaveri’s willingness to share her story with honesty and compassion sets a powerful example for others. Her openness not only helps normalize conversations around mental health but also reminds people that they’re not alone—and that healing, though gradual, is always possible.

17 March,2025 09:33 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSRapper Badshah, who earlier opened up about his struggles with depression and anxiety and that he used to starve himself for his work just to look a certain way, has now left the internet stunned with his incredible weight loss and transformation. In a video shared by his clothing brand’s Instagram account, the Jugnu hitmaker appears to have lost a massive amount of weight. Watch the video below. View this post on Instagram A post shared by BADFIT (@badfitinternational) Netizens react to Badshah’s weight loss As the video went viral, scores of netizens hopped on the comments section accusing the rapper of consuming ozempic - an infamous drug to cause instant weight loss. One user wrote, “Bollywood high on ozempic.” “Is it just me or he is looking a bit like AP Dhillon?” added another. One user commented, “Bhai itna slim kaise ho gaya, tips dedo.” Badshah on starving himself In an episode of 'Mirchi Shape of You' (2022), host Shilpa Shetty was in a candid conversation with Badshah. Bringing to the table his unfiltered personality in this episode, Badshah spilled his fitness secrets, broke some widely known fitness myths, and opened up about his severe anxiety disorder, clinical depression, and sleep apnea. Badshah admitted that he used to starve himself for his work just to look a certain way, found himself out of breath at performances, and unhappy for the most part. He shared, "At first, I would suddenly starve myself. This is why I used to put on a lot of weight as well. But now, I have stopped suppressing my desires and eating what I want but not in quantities I will regret later. Due to our profession, we have a lot of bad eating habits. We don't even eat on time. Now, I am addicted to salads. I think, for anyone who wants to lose weight, it is a lifestyle." "There were a lot of reasons to shed weight; one of them was that my job required me to perform on stage for 120 minutes - for which, I have to be active. After the lockdown, when I went up on stage to perform...that's when I realised that I didn't have enough stamina. I would be panting within 15 minutes. Another reason was that I suffered from sleep apnea that kept becoming intense; which is very dangerous," he added.
