When Salman Khan was doing his 2010 movie Veer, he went to see Dharmendra and said ‘Paaji I want to have thighs like yours.’

Feeling flattered Dharmendra said he had taken care of what he had been gifted by his parents.

Salman Khan was referring to the 1977 mythological movie Dharam Veer, in which Dharmendra wore shorts and went bare-chest to sport a look that cemented his he-man image.

For his period drama Veer, Salman Khan was toying with the idea of sporting a similar look and it was when he was struck by Dharmendra's thunder thighs.

Dharmendra, who turned 80  recently, is in a nostalgic mood. He narrated the above anecdote during an interview with DNA.

He also told the newspaper that he was among the first in Bollywood to do a shirtless scene - in Phool Aur Patthar.

Samajwadi Party has stepped forward to support Aamir Khan, who is under attack from Hindutva groups for his comments on intolerance.

Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav has said he would be inviting Aamir Khan to the Saifai Mahotsav, Samajwadi Party's annual cultural festival at Mulayam Singh Yadav's ancestral village in Etawah district.

Saifai Mahotsav is a key event on SP calendar, which usually features A-list Bollywood stars, and is attended by over a lakh party supporters.

Getting Aamir Khan to attend the festival would go down well with SP's key constituency Muslims, who empathise with the actor's statement that his wife Kiran wanted to leave India due to growing intolerance..

But Akhilesh Yadav did not make any reference to the controversy. He said Aamir Khan was being invited to Saifai Mahotsav as he was from Uttar Pradesh, reports The Telegraph.

The actor has an ancestral house at Hardoi. Interestingly, Akhilesh Yadav made the statement at Hardoi, where he had gone to attend a wedding.

He also pointed out that he was not holding Rahul Gandhi’s slippers but his own, which he offered to the visiting leader.

V Narayanaswamy also said Rahul Gandhi preferred to carry his shoes himself and did not let even security personnel carry them.

Parineeti Chopra's fitness mantra - how I dropped from size 38 to size 30 in just 9 months.


December 10, 2015, NewsCrunch

In an interview, last year, Parineeti Chopra admitted that she was so overweight designer clothes did not fit her anymore. Alia Bhatt went on record saying that her good friend Parineeti Chopra did not have a sense of style.

That image for  Bollywood actor was suicidal. Now, fast forward a year.

On Wednesday, Parineeti Chopra posted 15 photos of her new lean and mean look, which has taken the Internet by storm. There is not an ounce of fat on her body and more importantly, she looks far more energetic and focused.

Parineeti Chopra says she took just 9 months to make a total transformation.  So, what's her fitness secret.

1) Diet

She threw out the junk food, not a small move for someone who loved pizza. A healthy but simple diet regimen was brought in.

Breakfast – Brown bread with butter, sugar-free milk, two egg whites etc.

Lunch – Brown rice, dal, roti, green veggies etc.

Dinner – Low fat foods cooked in little oil, sugar-free milk, chocolate shake etc.

2) Exercise

A major part of Parineeti Chopra's problem was that she hated exercise and would have got bored in gym. So, she picked up a variety of fitness activities - jogging, running, dancing, swimming, horse riding and yoga.

She also started meditation sessions to help her focus, relax and develop a positive attitude. She also tried kalaripayitu though seems to have dropped it.

This is how a typical day in the life of Parineeti Chopra looks like: 



Starting the day with jogging

Meditation

Doing yoga for an hour

Involving into activities that she likes, such as swimming and horse riding

Running on treadmill

Using some deadly dance moves to kill those extra calories along with improving her dance skills

Cardio and regular exercise

The results are there to see. She no longer weighs 86 kgs. Her clothes have dropped from size 38 to size 30. And it took just 9 months.

A Muslim man from Chennai, Yunus, has offered to take care of the education expenses of a Hindu girl, who is named after him.

Yunus had rescued Chitra, a heavily-pregnant woman from Urapakkam, and taken her to a hospital. After she gave birth to a girl, Chitra and her husband Mohan decided to name the baby after Yunus.

Moved by their gesture, Yunus decided to take the bonding a step further. He told PTI that  he wished to inform the couple that the child's education fees would be fully borne by him.

When the report was published Yunus was still busy helping other flood victims and had not found time to go and visit the baby.

Yunus, an MBA graduate, is a businessman from Nungambakkam.  On the night of December 2, he organised a small group and went to  Urapakkam, a nearby area, which was badly affected by floods to help stranded people.

He heard Chitra screaming in labour pain and managed to find a boat to take her to a hospital.

Yunus played down his effort. He told reporters that his friends and the fishermen from Besant Nagar beach deserved full credits.

AAP supporters led by Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal took on writer Chetan Bhagat on Thursday.


Chetan Bhagat had slammed the new Delhi government traffic rule as arbitrary, undemocratic and impractical. He had also ridiculed the exclusion of single women from its purview.

The proposed traffic rule in Delhiallows odd and even numbered vehicles to ply only on alternate days.


Chetan Bhagat, who is writing a column coming Sunday in Times of India on the subject, sent a series of tweets on Thursday making his stance clear.

The attack on Chetan Bhagat was flagged off by Kejriwal, who retweeted two women, who disagreed with what Chetan Bhagat had posted.


One of them said Chetan Bhagat was not aware of the problems women put up with while using public transport. Another said Chetan Bhagat was again putting his foot in mouth in style.


As the AAP trolls went after him, Chetan Bhagat sounded upset and commented that Kejriwal was rewteeting trolls instead of respectfully discussing the issue he had raised.

Bollywood actor Sooraj Pancholi’s mother Zarina Wahab has threatened to take legal action against those who have defamed him on the basis of an alleged leaked charge sheet.

A Mumbai daily had published a leaked excerpt of the alleged charge-sheet in which Sooraj Pancholi has been accused  of abetting Jiah Khan's suicide.

“The entire charge sheet is not out yet. How dare anyone write anything about Sooraj without knowing the contents! We will take action against people giving incorrect information,” Wahab told The Hindustan Times.

The story was picked up by other media outlets and also went viral on social media.

In June 2013, Jiah Khan was found hanging in the bedroom of her apartment by her mother Rabiya Khan.

Rabiya later filed an FIR against Sooraj, who was then in a relationship with her, accusing him of murder.

Arvind Kejriwal may break his promise to people of Delhi and quit as chief minister again to lead AAP in Punjab.

Punjab is due for polls in 2017 and Kejriwal reportedly feels that AAP has a good chance of sweeping the state if he leads the campaign personally.

Quoting AAP sources, The Telegraph reports that he is even looking for a constituency in Punjab.

The Delhi CM is scheduled to address a pre-poll rally next month, which will kick off his increasing involvement in the Punjab affairs.

The Telegraph also said, in Delhi, he would be replaced by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who already handles key portfolios such as finance, education, planning and urban development.

In contrast, Kejriwal does not have any ministry assigned to him.

He has reportedly sounded out leaders close to him such as Mamta Banerjees and Nitish Kumar and received their endorsement.

Kejriwal's move does not come as a surprise as Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh had recently said his state would not be interested in having Kejriwal, a Haryanvi, as chief minister.

But people of Delhi may suffer from a sense of deja vu if Kejriwal goes ahead and announces his decision.

AAP won Delhi assembly elections in 2013  and formed a coalition with Congress. He disbanded the government after 49 days to contest in the 2014 general elections, earning the label Bhagoda CM.

After receiving a bad drubbing in the general election, AAP again contested for Delhi assembly this year. When campaigning started, Kejriwal faced a major credibility issue as many questioned if the Bhadoga CM could be relied upon to stay for long.

Kejriwal had apologised to people of Delhi and promised that he would serve full term as chief minister if elected.

AAP leader Ashutosh dismissed The Telegraph report on Friday. He tweeted saying the report was   baseless and just went on to show how AAP had scared Akalis and Congress in Punjab.

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, leader of a loyal army on Twitter, faced an unprecedented troll attack  on Friday.

His opponents launched a surprise but well-coordinated attack tearing into the colourful political life of Swamy.

As it turned out it, was not very difficult to troll him. He has been at all ends of political spectrum, been everyone’s friend or enemy at different times, and says enough controversial things to be in the limelight always.

Twitter looked up his history and dug out dirt  to keep him trending with the hashtag #SwamyChemicalLocha.

While there was no immeditae provocation for the attack, Swamy’s pursuit of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi seems to have triggered it.

Delhi lungs have huge charcoal deposit, while Himachali lungs are pink

Delhi 11, 2015, NewsCrunch

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has tweeted photos of lungs of two 52-year-old persons, one from Delhiand another from Himachal Pradesh.

The Delhi lungs are black, while Himachal Pradesh lungs remains pink with just traces of black.

Dr Naresh Trehan, who shared the pictures of these lungs with Kejriwal to highlight the problem Delhiis facing, explains the difference between them.

The heart surgeon says he started noticing the differences between the lungs when he was carrying out heart operations and decided to photograph them.

Delhi lungs have a huge amount of charcoal deposit, it's what we call almost black lungs,” he told India Today in an interview.

In contrast, people from rural or hilly areas like those from Himachal Pradesh have normal lungs. Their lungs look pink as there's blood flowing through it exchanging oxygen.

The devastation of the Delhilungs is due to exposure to pollution for prolonged periods of time. Children are particularly vulnerable as their tissues are multiplying faster than adults.

A decade ago Dr Naresh Trehan had shown similar pictures to Supreme Court judge Kuldip Singh, who had then decided to give a big push to make CNG mandatory in Delhi for public transport.

The advantage has been now neutralised due to the growth of city and traffic, says Dr Naresh Trehan.
