Samantha Ruth Prabhu
has always impressed her fans, not just with her acting, but also with her healthy lifestyle and commitment to fitness. The actress revealed that she now follows an anti-inflammatory diet and explained how her understanding of health has changed over the years.
The actress recently shared more about her food choices and diet habits in a chat with celebrity nutritionist Ryan Fernando, giving everyone a closer look at how carefully she now plans her meals.
She explained how her views changed over time
Samantha spoke about how, as a teenager, she was naturally skinny and never put on weight. She explained, 'I didn't know that it was not just about the weight, but also about inflammation that could manifest in many other ways.
My diet is mostly anti-inflammatory. It's basically about finding what does not work for you and eliminating that.'
No cheat meals, no break from routine
For many people, cheat days are part of their routine, but not for Samantha. She admitted that she doesn't believe in cheat days and prefers to keep her meals consistent. 'I do breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Maybe my breakfast is mostly smoothies. This is followed by lunch and dinner.' She said she enjoys eating the same thing every day and has grown used to this way of living.

Loves broccoli, avoids spinach and kale
Samantha is quite clear about what vegetables she likes. She shared that she enjoys adding cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli to her meals because they are packed with nutrients. However, she also admitted that not all greens are favourites. She said she is not a fan of spinach or kale, even though they are commonly used in healthy diets.
Celery, berries and ghee on her plate
The actress also makes sure to include other healthy foods like celery, acai berries, turmeric, ghee, and cold-pressed oils in her daily meals.
These are full of healthy fats and are known for their wellness benefits. Her food choices show how much care she takes to eat only what is good for her body, especially as part of her anti-inflammatory diet.
No celebrity chef, just her assistant
While many stars have personal chefs to cook for them, Samantha keeps things more personal. She revealed that her assistant has learned how to cook her meals and even goes with her during shoots to make sure she stays on track with her diet. This thoughtful and simple approach reflects her dedication to her health, even while juggling a busy shooting schedule.
On the work front, Samantha was last seen in 'Citadel: Honey Bunny', the Indian version of the American spy series 'Citadel'. The show was directed by Raj and DK and starred

Tom Lehrer, master of musical satire and mathematics, dies at 97

AP Tom Lehrer, song satirist and mathematician, dies at 97 Tom Lehrer, the renowned American satirist, singer-songwriter, and mathematician best known for his darkly humorous songs that skewered politics, social taboos, and the absurdities of the Cold War era, passed away on Saturday, July 26, 2025, at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was 97 years old. Lehrer's longtime friend David Herder confirmed the news, though the cause of death has not been disclosed. Born on April 9, 1928, in Manhattan, New York, Lehrer was a mathematical prodigy who entered Harvard University at the age of 15. He earned his bachelor's degree in mathematics at just 18 and went on to obtain a master's degree from Harvard the following year. Though he began doctoral studies, he never completed his dissertation. Lehrer's academic career spanned teaching positions at prestigious institutions including Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he spent much of his later professional life devoted to education rather than entertainment. Lehrer first gained national recognition in the 1950s through self-produced albums that featured his clever, politically charged, and taboo-breaking songs. His work hit wider audiences in the 1960s when he was featured on the American television program That Was the Week That Was (TW3), a satirical news show hosted by David Frost. Lehrer's sharp wit and musical skill made him a cult favorite, with songs that remain influential for their cutting humor and musicality. His 1965 album That Was the Year That Was reached number 18 on the U.S. charts. His repertoire includes enduring classics such as 'Poisoning Pigeons in the Park,' 'The Masochism Tango,' 'Be Prepared' (a satire of the Boy Scouts), 'The Old Dope Peddler,' and 'The Vatican Rag,' which amusingly lampooned religion with lines like 'Down on your knees, genuflect, genuflect.' Lehrer's song 'The Elements' is famous for setting the names of chemical elements to the melody of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance and is regarded as one of the cleverest educational songs ever the success of his musical career and his wide influence—he inspired future musical parodists such as 'Weird Al' Yankovic—Lehrer largely abandoned performing and recording after the late 1960s to focus on his academic career. In 2020, he made headlines by relinquishing all rights to his songs, placing his work into the public domain for free public for his classical piano training starting at age seven, Lehrer admirably balanced his dual passions for music and mathematics throughout his life. Though he never married or had children, his legacy endures through his contributions to musical satire and the mathematics community.

Destiny's Child reunites after 19 years: Why they broke up—and was Beyoncé the reason?

Destiny's Child recently reunited on stage during Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour, sparking nostalgia and renewed interest in their split. Formed in the early 1990s, the group achieved massive success but faced internal conflicts, including lineup changes and a lawsuit against their manager. Despite disbanding, Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams have reunited for memorable performances over the years. Destiny's Child just gave fans a blast from the past. As Beyoncé wrapped up her Cowboy Carter tour with a star-studded finale in Las Vegas, she brought out her former bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams for a surprise on-stage reunion. The trio's unexpected performance had the crowd roaring and sparked fresh buzz online—not just about their nostalgic hits, but also about what really led to their split nearly two decades ago. Here's a look back at why one of the most iconic girl groups of all time called it quits. From Girl's Tyme to Destiny's Child Destiny's Child, originally known as Girl's Tyme, was formed in Houston in the early 1990s. Starting with Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett, the group performed at local events and went through several lineup changes. After years of hustle and building a local reputation, they signed with Columbia Records in 1997 and officially rebranded as Destiny's Child. Destiny's Child shot to fame with the release of their debut single No, No, No and their second album, The Writing's on the Wall (1999), which featured chart-toppers like Bills, Bills, Bills and Say My Name. Their mainstream breakthrough led to massive global success, with the group selling over 60 million records by 2013. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Billboard named them one of the greatest musical trios of all time and the 9th most successful artist of the 2000s. Throughout their career, they earned 14 Grammy nominations and took home two awards. Trouble Behind the Scenes While Destiny's Child was soaring in popularity, tensions were brewing behind the scenes. Trouble began when members LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett grew dissatisfied with the group's management—particularly with Beyoncé's father, Mathew Knowles, who also served as their manager. They felt he was giving preferential treatment to Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland. In 2000, both Roberson and Luckett filed a lawsuit against Knowles, alleging breach of partnership and fiduciary duties, marking the start of internal conflict within the group. Lineup Changes and Fallout In 2000, LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett were replaced by Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin. However, Farrah exited the group just five months later. Her departure stirred controversy—she told that she was "verbally attacked by the management" after missing promotional events due to illness. Beyoncé, on the other hand, claimed Farrah lacked commitment, which led to her removal. Following this shake-up, Destiny's Child continued as a trio. Their 2001 album Survivor was widely seen as a reflection of the group's turbulent past and resilience. Reunions Over the Years Later in 2001, Destiny's Child announced a hiatus and reunited in 2004 for their fifth and final album, Destiny Fulfilled. While the group gave all its members a platform, Beyoncé's solo career soared the most prominently. After their formal disbandment, each member pursued individual careers with varying degrees of success. Despite parting ways professionally, Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams have reunited for special performances over the years—most notably at the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and the 2018 Coachella festival.

(Exclusive) Rekha Bhardwaj: Let's not call an item song a ghazal

Rekha Bhardwaj highlights the shift in focus towards instant success among youngsters, impacting the creation and use of ghazals in films. She notes the pressure to create viral hits often leads to the superficial inclusion of ghazals, sometimes mislabeled as item songs. Youngsters want instant success,' shares Rekha Bhardwaj , emphasising how even if a film includes a ghazal today, it's often just to create an instant hit. At the recently concluded ghazal festival Khazana in the city, the singer spoke about the power of live performances, how ghazals have evolved and why they must be treated with reverence. Excerpts: 'Youngsters want instant gratification and success, toh focus change hota hai' Rekha, who has lent her voice to songs like Phir Le Aaya Dil, Kabira and Genda Phool, among others, points out how the pursuit of virality creates pressure. She elaborates, 'Youngsters want instant gratification, instant success and instant appreciation... toh focus change hota hai. Even if they include ghazals in a film, they will only do so to ensure it becomes a hit. Ek ajeeb sa pressure hai ki gaana hit hona chahiye. Phir toh mushkil hai. There are filmmakers who have used a certain Sufi ghazal in their film, but it's actually an item song. Why don't they call it what it is? If you are making an actress do belly dance on a ghazal, then you should call it an item song.' While she dislikes the idea of using the term 'ghazal' loosely, she doesn't entirely condemn item songs. She explains, 'It's not wrong to have an item song because it's part of our culture — nautanki, kothe pe gaana bajana, it's all part of our culture. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mini House for 60 sqm for Seniors with Toilet and Bath (Price May Surprise You) Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Let's take pride in that. There's nothing wrong with having such songs if the situation calls for it in the film.' 'Ghazal is a facet of love, romance and longing' Rekha feels that what sets ghazals apart is their emotional core. 'Ghazal ek poetry hai jise hum melody ke through express kartein hain. It's a facet of love, romance, longing and shringaar ras. Ghazals are eternal. The best thing is that youngsters are taking up this form, more in the interiors than the metros. But this genre needs more exposure.' 'Aaj ke ghazalon ka, qawaaliyon ka, rang badal raha hai ' The singer believes that there has been a generational shift in creative focus in movies and music. She says, 'Yes, there aren't many ghazals in film albums, but there are composers like Pritam, Vishal (Bhardwaj), who do include ghazals in their films. The only thing is that aaj kal ghazalon ka, qawaaliyon ka, rang badal raha hai, and ab aesthetics ke hisab se hota hai.' She adds, 'Youngsters apne exposure ke hisab se hi ghazal banayenge. If you take Urdu words from Google and put them in a ghazal, woh toh kam hi padega na.' "Youngsters want instant gratification, instant success and instant appreciation... toh focus change hota hai. Even if they include ghazals in a film, they will only do so to ensure it becomes a hit." - Rekha Bhardwaj
