Actor Akshay Kumar, renowned for his dedication to fitness, joined Prime Minister Narendra Modi's monthly radio address ‘Mann Ki Baat' on Sunday and delivered a powerful message about adopting healthy lifestyles. Akshay urged listeners to prioritize fitness in their lives and avoid chasing unrealistic quick fixes. The Khiladi actor advocated for a holistic approach to fitness, promoting regular exercise, yoga, mindful eating, adequate sleep, and meditation as pillars of sustainable well-being. He asserted, “It is very important that we understand what is good and what is bad for your fitness.

Sunny Deol reveals why he skips Bollywood parties: “People used to think I was very snooty, very snobbish”

Bollywood actor Sunny Deol is known for his intense action roles and undeniable onscreen charm. But unlike many of his contemporaries, you won't find him lighting up the dance floor at industry parties. Deol, a self-proclaimed “early riser,” often opts for quiet evenings over the glitzy Bollywood nightlife. “Initially, I hardly went anywhere,” Deol recently shared with NDTV. “People used to think I was very snooty, very snobbish, and this and that.” It took time for those around him to realize his reasons weren't rooted in arrogance, but a simple preference for a different pace. “They eventually understood ki yeh sharmata hai (that he is shy). Aana nahi chahta hai yeh. He doesn't drink. He doesn't know what to do. So, nahi aata (He does not wish to come). They understood me afterwards. So, there is no invitation after that,” he explained. Deol's introverted nature doesn't translate to a lack of fun, as his recent viral Christmas video proved. Dancing with a ted

Sunny Deol on rekindling friendship with Shah Rukh Khan in 2023, “Time is a healer, I was so happy that everyone turned up at my party”

The biggest box office surprise of the year turned out to be Anil Sharma’s Gadar 2. The film reprised the cast of Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel and Utkarsh Sharma from the first film Gadar, which was a historic blockbuster. People did expect Gadar 2 to become successful but not many would have expected it to amass in excess of Rs. 500 crores in India alone. Just like the success of the film, its success party too saw unexpected scenes with the attendance of Shah Rukh Khan and his affectionate moments with Sunny Deol. There were reports about differences between them during Darr (1993) and hence the two showing such love for each other came as a pleasant surprise for their fans. Sunny has now spoken about this moment in an interview with Hindustan Times. When asked whether he is in the mood to let bygones be bygones, the actor said, “It’s not that. Everybody has moved ahead in life and mentally happy, secure with what they have. When they were younger, they weren’t like that. Now everybod
