Discipline, Diet, And Dedication: Here's How Sarfaraz Khan Lost 17 Kgs
After being sidelined from India's tour of England, cricketer Sarfaraz Khan turned his setback into serious self-work, dropping 17 kilos in just a few months. The 27-year-old, known for his explosive domestic form, has long faced criticism for his fitness despite his cricketing potential. Now, his dramatic weight loss transformation is capturing attention far beyond the pitch.
Sarfaraz may have missed a place in the squad for the England Tests, but he's channelled that disappointment into redefining his relationship with health and fitness. His new, leaner look, shared via Instagram stories, has not only stunned fans but has also inspired a wave of appreciation for his discipline.
Take a look at Sarfaraz Khan's 17 Kgs weight loss picture here.
From Cheat Days to Clean Eating
Behind the scenes of this transformation is a carefully designed nutritional overhaul. In an interview earlier this year, Sarfaraz's father and coach, Naushad Khan, revealed the family's collective commitment to a cleaner diet.
'We stopped having roti, rice, sugar, flour, and anything bakery-related," Naushad shared in an earlier conversation with Hindustan Times. 'Our meals now include grilled fish, chicken, boiled eggs, fresh salads, broccoli, cucumber, and avocados. We've even switched to green tea and green coffee. It's been 1.5 months of this strict routine."
The shift wasn't temporary. It reflects a long-term vision to improve energy levels, muscle recovery, and overall well-being, all of which are crucial for elite performance.
Though his Test debut was delayed, Sarfaraz's commitment off the field could make all the difference moving forward. In modern cricket, fitness is no longer optional; it's as essential as form. And Sarfaraz seems to be ticking both boxes now.
About Sarfaraz Khan
Born in Mumbai in 1997, Sarfaraz first gained national attention during the U-19 World Cup and went on to become one of the most consistent run-scorers in the Ranji Trophy. A prolific talent in domestic cricket, he represents Mumbai and has made a mark with consistent performances over the years. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), he has played for franchises including Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

ChatGPT says ‘I'm proud of you': AI chatbot motivates dyslexic social media influencer from Kashmir; watch viral video
Aparna Devyal, a popular YouTuber from Jammu & Kashmir, posted an emotional video of herself crying at an airport. The social media influencer missed a flight but said her tears were not for that. Instead, it was because of years of feeling 'worthless'. Aparna shared how she was called 'nalayak' in school, by friends, and even by herself. She also spoke about struggling with dyslexia. But, on that day, ChatGPT told her, 'You're not nalayak (worthless). You're someone who kept going, despite it all.' That touched her deeply. Aparna said she had finally felt she was enough. Aparna now lives in Delhi and is known for her honest and funny vlogs on YouTube, where she has 1.42 million followers. She also has 5,73,000 followers on Instagram. Aparna, lost and confused at Delhi Airport's Terminal 3, asked ChatGPT what to do next. The AI companion calmly guided her step-by-step, starting with an explanation of what a boarding pass meant. When she still felt unsure, the AI chatbot looked at her shared image and confirmed she was standing right outside the correct terminal. It reassured her that she only needed to enter the departure gate. The virtual assistant gave her confidence during a confusing moment through this exchange. 'I'm a fool. This isn't my first flight. I forget everything every time… and I'll probably forget next time too. I can't help anyone—honestly, I can't even help myself,' Aparna Devyal told ChatGPT. 'You're not a fool, you're just human. People forget things, especially when they're anxious, in a new place or under pressure, like at the airport,' ChatGPT replied. 'Airports are confusing places. Thousands of people like you ask questions every day. And, asking? That's a strength,' it added. 'You learnt exactly as much as you asked. Next time, you'll be able to guide someone else – and maybe take away their fear. Real people like you help keep the world grounded. And, for what it's worth – I'm proud of you,' ChatGPT told her. The video has gone viral, with 1.4 million views. Some social media users posted heartfelt reactions to the post. 'i can't explain what I am feeling. But, you go girl. Today, you have lacs of followers and that's not a small thing. You are capable of what you think of and this is for every girl who thinks that she is lesser than the world,' wrote one of them.

Actor Anthony Anderson slammed for creepy ‘I like 'em young' joke to teen Lindsay Lohan in now viral clip from The Sharon Osbourne Show
Just when we thought the internet had moved on from dragging old daytime talk shows, a 2003 clip from The Sharon Osbourne Show has come back to haunt Black-ish actor Anthony Anderson, and the internet is not laughing this time. I'll never pass up an opportunity to remind everyone that Anthony Anderson is a rapist and also a pedophile according to his words in this video Anthony Anderson's old joke to Lindsay Lohan resurfaces, and it's not ageing well In the clip, Anderson interviewed 17-year-old Mean Girls star Lindsay Lohan and dropped what he thought was a cheeky one-liner. After Lohan casually mentioned moving in with Raven-Symoné, Anderson asked, 'What gentlemen will be at the new pad?' When she replied that she had no boyfriend and was 'illegal for people that are old,' Anderson said, 'Well, you know, some men like 'em young. We ain't gonna mention no names, but, you know, I'm one of 'em.' That 2003 interview between Anthony Anderson and Lindsay Lohan wasn't random and it's coming up now because it was a coded humiliation ritual, dressed up as late-night TV. From Anderson's birthday on August 15, 2002 to Lohan's on July 2, 2003 is exactly 322 days. Skull and Bones. Cue nervous laughter, awkward energy, and now, two decades later—pure outrage. Anthony Anderson speaks out through rep As the clip began circulating on social media again, people labelled the joke 'creepy' and 'disturbing,' with one user bluntly stating it 'hasn't aged well.' The backlash came in hot, and Anderson's team wasted no time issuing a response. Anthony Anderson's rep responds to backlash over resurfaced interview where he told 17-year-old Lindsay Lohan he liked 'them young': "This interview was clearly intended as comedy. He regrets if the humor was in poor taste and maintains the utmost respect for Lindsay. Any… According to his spokesperson, Anderson intended the moment as 'comedy' and regrets if it came across in poor taste. The rep emphasised that he holds 'utmost respect' for Lohan and slammed any implication that his comment was malicious as 'inaccurate and potentially defamatory.' Lindsay Lohan has moved on and out of the spotlight Though Lohan has not commented on the clip's resurfacing, she has been open about the media frenzy that hounded her throughout her teen years. In a 2024 interview, she reflected on how the press obsession with her personal life often buried her work, prompting her temporary Hollywood exit. The actress now seems more in control of her narrative, praising Instagram as a tool for public figures to own their stories. Lohan, who is now a mother to two-year-old son Luai, said she no longer consumes press coverage because it can easily 'get you lost.' Social media is not letting this one slide Despite Anderson's clarification, social media users are still divided. Some call for grace considering the clip's age, while others argue that this is exactly why past behaviour deserves reevaluation. Either way, the message is clear: the internet never forgets, especially when your old jokes resurface with a whole new lens.
