Preity Zinta Embraces A Dynamic Fitness Makeover at 50: Here's What's In Her Routine
At 50, Preity Zinta is showing the world that fitness truly has no age limit. The Bollywood actor continues to inspire with her commitment to staying healthy and strong, recently sharing a glimpse of her intense workout session on Instagram — and it's nothing short of motivating.
In the video, Preity is seen training under celebrity fitness expert Yasmin Karachiwala. Dressed in sleek black activewear with her hair neatly tied in a ponytail, she moves through a series of dynamic exercises, mixing strength training with functional movements. From crunches to squats and pulldowns, the actor may have looked focused and strained at times, but her grit was unmistakable.
Preity wrote in her caption, 'It does not matter how long and how much you train over the years… One needs to keep changing it up so you can push your body further and harder. Here I am trying a new workout for a new project I am working on with the one & only Yasmin Karachiwala. Hope I can inspire some of you to go to the gym now."
Let's take a closer look at the workout components she tackled and why adding them to your own fitness routine might just be a game-changer:
1. Dumbbell Squats & Sumo Squats
These foundational moves aren't just about building strong legs, they also target your glutes, hamstrings, and engage your core, improving both posture and flexibility.
2. Side Lunges
Side lunges are great for hip and thigh strength. They improve lateral movement, enhance balance, and help protect your joints from injury — a perfect low-impact move for all ages.
3. Cable Curls
These bicep-burners offer consistent resistance, helping build arm strength, muscle control, and endurance over time.
4. Crunches & Planks
A classic for a reason. Crunches are effective for toning the abdominal muscles, while planks go a step further activating your shoulders, back, glutes, and legs for full-body engagement.
5. Arm Pulldowns
Targeting the back, shoulders, and triceps, this upper-body move builds strength and improves coordination, especially helpful for posture and overall muscle tone.
Whether it's for an upcoming project or personal health, Preity Zinta's dedication is proof that fitness evolves with you and staying consistent, curious, and committed can keep you strong at any stage of life.
So the next time you're tempted to skip that workout? Remember Preity's words, and show up for yourself just like she does.

Farah Khan Warns Cook Dilip Not To Tell Husband About Her Flirting With Boman Irani
Last Updated: Farah Khan jokingly warns cook Dilip not to tell her husband she flirts with Boman Irani, says she considered casting couch for Main Hoon Na. Farah Khan's latest vlog is a riot of laughter, nostalgic anecdotes and trademark wit as she visits longtime friend and actor Boman Irani's home, accompanied by her ever-entertaining cook, Dilip. Known for their infectious chemistry and effortless humour, Farah and Boman light up the screen with their banter—and this time, even Boman's wife Zenobia joins in on the fun. Before stepping into the Irani household, Farah cheekily warns Dilip, 'Don't tell Shirish if I flirt with Boman." Confused, Dilip innocently asks, 'What is flirting?" Farah, with a mischievous grin, explains, 'Flirting means nain mataka, or if I hug Boman sir, or sit next to him." The laughs don't stop there. Recalling the casting of her 2004 film Main Hoon Na, Farah takes a playful dig, saying, 'The only time I wanted to do a casting couch for my movie was with Boman. But he got the role just like that, didn't even sit on the couch!" The room bursts into laughter. Dilip, clearly puzzled, is then asked if he knows what 'casting couch" means. When he says no, Farah shoos him away with a giggle: 'You please go to the kitchen now." Even Zenobia takes it in stride. When Boman asks how she puts up with such jokes, Farah interjects, 'Because she knows nobody believes we're having an affair." The vlog also reveals a charming throwback: Farah once dressed up for what she thought was Boman's birthday party, only to realise she had arrived a day early. The friends shared a hearty laugh reminiscing about the mix-up. As the group makes their way to the kitchen, Irani tries to excuse himself: 'This means it is my time to get out of the kitchen." But Farah protests, 'No sir, you need to be here. Chutney kaun lagayega apne haatho se?" prompting Irani to call Dilip for help. In a final moment of comic warning, Farah tells Dilip, 'Dare you tell anything to Shirish. I will have your salary reduced," to which Dilip responds with a sheepish smile.
