Rakesh Roshan undergoes preventive procedure for carotid arteries blockage
The 75-year-old actor-filmmaker, who shared the health update with a photograph from the hospital, said he is now back home and fully recovered. 'This week has been truly eye opening, during a routine full body health check up the Dr conducting the sonography for the heart suggested I also do one for the neck. By chance we found out that although asymptomatic, both my carotid arteries to the brain were above 75 per cent blocked," Roshan said on Instagram.
The director revealed that if ignored the condition could be extremely dangerous.
'I immediately admitted myself into the hospital and got the preventative procedures done. I am back home now fully recovered and hope to get back to my workouts very soon. I hope this inspires others to stay on top of their health especially where the heart and brain is concerned," the director added.
Roshan, who is the father of Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan, said above the age of 45, everyone should get regular scans such as a heart CT and a carotid brain artery sonography which are 'often ignored completely".
'I think it's important to remember that prevention is always better than cure. I wish a healthy and aware year to you all," Roshan said.
The filmmaker is known for hit films like 'Karan Arjun", 'Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai", and 'Koi… Mil Gaya" and its sequels. He will be co-producing the upcoming film 'Krrish 4" which is to be directed by Hrithik. PTI SMR BK BK

Elizabeth Hurley stuns in Gaurav Gupta couture: A vintage glamour revival
Elizabeth Hurley embodies Old Hollywood glamour in a stunning Gaurav Gupta couture gown for Ellen von Unwerth's magazine. The moonstone ivory column dress, adorned with crystals and sequins, features long sleeves and a flowing trail. Hurley's minimal accessories and smoky eyes enhance the gown's drama, solidifying her status as a timeless icon. If you thought Old Hollywood glamour was a thing of the past, Elizabeth Hurley is here to prove you wrong and how. The Bedazzled star recently channelled full-blown vintage diva vibes in a breathtaking couture gown by Indian designer extraordinaire Gaurav Gupta , and honestly, it might be one of her most iconic looks yet. In a shoot for Ellen von Unwerth's magazine, Elizabeth slipped into what can only be described as a showstopper: a moonstone ivory column gown straight out of Gaurav Gupta's Autumn-Winter '24 couture collection. Think long sleeves, a sequin-drenched high neck, and a trail that flowed like liquid silver. Covered in shimmering crystals, sequins, and glitter, the gown was all drama - just the kind of drama we want at a photoshoot. Now, when your outfit's doing the most, the smart thing to do is pull back on the accessories and Liz did just that. No chunky jewellery, no over-the-top bling. Just a pair of delicate diamond earrings and a few elegant, stone-studded rings that nodded to the gown's opulence without competing with it. No necklace, no bracelets. Just pure, minimal class. Her makeup? Equally on point. Glowing skin, a soft matte base, and that perfect blush-contour combo that gave her cheeks a sculpted, rosy glow. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gentle Japanese hair growth method for men and women's scalp Hair's Rich Learn More Undo She went with a pink-tinted lip to brighten things up, while her smoky eyes with kohl, fluttery lashes, and a hint of silvery eyeshadow, added that retro femme fatale edge. Of course, no Gaurav Gupta look is complete without a little extra drama, and the white fur stole draped casually over her shoulders delivered just that. It added that final layer of luxe that made the whole look feel like it belonged on a red carpet or better yet, a classic black-and-white film set. If you know Gaurav Gupta, you know he's a master of sculptural silhouettes and experimental textures, and this gown was peak Gaurav. The metallic 3D embroidery, that signature 'crystal erosion' effect, and the fluid design gave the dress that futuristic-meets-classic vibe that's become his trademark. No wonder the designer captioned his Instagram post, 'Elizabeth Hurley wears Gaurav Gupta Couture for the Ellen Von Unwerth's Magazine issue. ' And it's not just Liz who's fallen for his magic. Gaurav's pieces have already graced the likes of Beyoncé, Cardi B, Lizzo, Jenna Ortega, Megan Thee Stallion, you name it. His designs have shown up at Cannes, the Grammys, the Met Gala… you get the idea. He's global. And seeing Elizabeth Hurley in one of his creations? It's the crossover we didn't know we needed. Elizabeth Hurley isn't just wearing a gown. She's wearing a story, one that blends classic Hollywood charm with bold Indian couture. And we are so here for it.

Sydney Sweeney Unrecognisable As Boxer Christy Martin In First Look From Biopic ‘Christy'
Last Updated: Sydney Sweeney transforms into boxing legend Christy Martin for her upcoming biopic 'Christy', set to premiere at TIFF 2025. Sydney Sweeney is stepping into the ring—literally—for her most dramatic transformation yet. The Euphoria star is all set to portray legendary boxer Christy Martin in the upcoming biopic Christy, and the first official photo from the film is already creating waves. The image, released by Black Bear Pictures on July 21, shows Sweeney looking nearly unrecognisable with Christy Martin's signature dark curls, a muscular frame, and a boxer's fierce intensity. Wearing red gloves, long tassel shorts, a white tank top, and a mouthguard, Sweeney channels Martin's gritty energy in a boxing ring. The film is set to premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this September. Sweeney, who is known for her long blonde locks and glamorous red carpet appearances, underwent a stunning physical transformation for the role. In a June 2025 interview with W Magazine, she revealed that she gained over 30 pounds and trained rigorously to match Martin's powerful physique. 'I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour," she shared. 'My body was completely different. But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong." The biopic is directed by The King filmmaker David Michôd, who was reportedly stunned by Sweeney's commitment and transformation. Recalling a moment when he saw her again on the set of Euphoria season 3, he said, 'I was stunned by the change in her appearance. I had only seen her as an adorable, tough moppet with late-'80s hair, ready to box. Sydney was happiest when she was in the ring punching and being punched. It was shocking to see her being so glamorous." Sweeney first hinted at her role in Christy back in October 2024 by posting behind-the-scenes photos that showed off her bulked-up physique and ring training.
