‘Dikhti bhi golmatol hai': Rubina Dilaik recalls being body shamed by director of her first show, says went on soup-only diet for a year to lose weight
Rubina Dilaik recently recalled being body shamed on the sets of her first show in 2008, sharing how it forced her to be on a soup-only diet for a year, following which, on her second show, her waist looked 'snatched' but her 'glow' was gone. 'I was called chubby. I used to wonder….I have baby fat here and there. Ek director ne camera ke peeche se chillakar bola that, 'arey yeh seb ke beti kaha se lekar aaye ho…waapis bhejo Himachal mein…isko na chalna aata hai aur dikhti bhi golmatol hai.' Yeh set par aapka pehla show hai, and koi aapko aapke look ke liye…(Once a director shouted where have you got her from, send her back to Himachal (native place)..she is also fat…) You are literally mistreated. It stains your memory to an extent that I went on boiled spinach soup and nutri (diet) for one complete year and I pledged to myself that I am going to get to size zero, and I achieved that,' Dilaik said on her YouTube podcast Kisine Bataya Nahi. Admitting that she 'looked so sick and pale' in her second show, the 37-year-old continued: 'My energies were so down. That phase…when I look back…I am like…what was I thinking…I wish somebody had taught me how to embrace myself. Kisine nahi bataya, aap apne me khoobsurat hai. (no one told us that you are beautiful in the way you are). I was 19-20 when I came, and I had come from the mountains …having grown up on ghee, milk, bachcha hai…woh freshness thi…in my second show, my cheekbones used to be visible…my waist was snatched…but it wasn't that glowing effect…It took me a long time to get out of this cycle. I don't want that comparison on my children now…' Drawing on her experience, let's explore how body shaming can have a profound impact on people. Psychotherapist Delnna Rrajesh has worked with hundreds of women who still flinch when they look in the mirror. 'Not because they dislike their body. But because someone else told them they should,' said Delnna. In a world where a woman's worth is still measured in inches and filters, the scars of body-shaming often go unseen. 'But they run deep. Especially when the pressure comes during our most formative years – 19, 20, just stepping into adulthood. Instead of being welcomed with warmth, we are ridiculed, measured, starved into silence,' added Delnna, stressing that this isn't just about television or entertainment; it happens in school corridors, college classrooms, and our homes. 'Our body, which was once a vibrant, nourished, living expression of you, slowly becomes a battleground of punishment,' described Delnna. What happens when you're body-shamed? Psychologically, it creates a split between self and self-worth. You begin to look at your body not as a home, but as a problem to be fixed. The result? 'Soup-only diets. Overexercise. Social withdrawal. Shame spirals. And ironically… even after losing weight, many don't feel better. Because the issue was never the body. It was the emotional rejection. The pain of not being enough,' said Delnna. What's the healing antidote? *Reclaim your relationship with food – not as reward or punishment, but as nourishment. *Grieve the version of you that was unloved – especially when your younger self was told she was too much or too little. *Shift the focus from appearance to aliveness. *Ask yourself: What makes me feel radiant, not just look smaller? *And most importantly…stop outsourcing your confidence. 'Every time we base our self-worth on someone else's approval – a director, partner, parent, Instagram comments, etc. we abandon a part of ourselves,' said Delnna. 'Rubina's story is not just hers. It's a mirror for many women who were made to feel they had to change to be loved. But beauty is not created by diet. It's created by safety. By self-respect. By choosing to be gentle with your body… even when the world isn't,' Delnna said.

Google Photos Rolls Out Free AI Tools to Animate and Stylise Old Pictures
In a move that blends nostalgia with innovation, Google Photos has introduced a suite of free AI-powered tools designed to help users breathe new life into their favourite images. The update, announced on July 24, 2025, is part of Google's continued effort to bring artificial intelligence to the fingertips of everyday users, enriching how they interact with their digital memories. Now available in the United States on both Android and iOS devices, the latest features transform static photos into engaging short videos and stylised artworks. With over 1.5 billion users worldwide, Google Photos aims to democratize creative tools by making AI-enhanced features both accessible and intuitive. At the heart of the new capabilities is the photo-to-video function, powered by Google's advanced Veo 2 model. This tool allows users to select any photo and convert it into a dynamic six-second video. Depending on the mood or creative direction desired, users can choose prompts like 'Subtle movements' or 'I'm feeling lucky' to generate a unique visual effect. Similar features have been seen in YouTube and Gemini, but this integration brings that functionality directly into the photo gallery app, making it easier than ever to enhance personal content. Joining this feature is the Remix tool, which leverages the Imagen AI model to instantly stylise any photo. Whether users want to reimagine a moment in anime or give it a surreal 3D makeover, the tool makes it possible within seconds. These stylised outputs will be clearly marked with SynthID digital watermarks to ensure transparency about their AI-generated origins. Google is taking a user-first approach by labeling these features experimental and inviting community feedback. Users can provide input through a simple thumbs-up or thumbs-down mechanism, which Google says will help fine-tune the tools over time. The new features are part of a revamped "Create" tab within the Google Photos app, which consolidates all creative tools, both AI-powered and traditional, in one easy-to-navigate section. Alongside existing capabilities like collages and highlight videos, the addition of AI effects signals a broader push to turn the app into a playground for visual storytelling. Importantly, Google's expansion of AI within Photos reflects a larger trend across the company's product ecosystem. These updates were announced alongside similar enhancements to YouTube Shorts, which now also offers photo-to-video and AI-driven visual effects. By putting advanced generative models like Veo 2 and Imagen directly in the hands of users, Google continues its mission to enhance digital creativity while learning from real-world usage. As the company refines these tools through user feedback, it hopes to make the experience even more immersive and personalized. Whether you're looking to revisit cherished memories or explore artistic reinterpretations of your everyday snapshots, these new AI features offer a compelling reason to dive back into your photo library.

Saiyaara: 7 questions we want to ask Mohit Suri after watching Ahaan-Aneet's film
Last week, 'Saiyaara' arrived dressed like a timeless love story, achingly emotional, stunningly cinematic, and laced with soulful music. Directed by Mohit Suri and featuring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the film leans into familiar romantic tropes: star-crossed lovers, a tragic illness, and a love that refuses to fade. Yet it seems to be working - if box office numbers and social media reactions arse anything to go by. With earnings already touching Rs 150 crore, the makers are laughing their way to bank, while audiences are reportedly sobbing in theatres - one viewer even watched it with IV drip peel back the sentimentality from the success of 'Saiyaara', and cracks begin to show. From glaring similarities to a well-known Korean film (A Moment to Remember) to the predictable narrative and overindulgent melodrama, 'Saiyaara' struggles to find its own voice. The emotion is real, but is it perfect? Honestly, it falters. Quite a few a closer look at the flaws that hold 'Saiyaara' back from becoming the unforgettable perfect love story it wants to be. Mohit Suri, are you listening?1. A moment to remember, or not? A viral video did what critics were expecting - it held 'Saiyaara' and 'A Moment to Remember' side by side, and, well, the resemblance wasn't just uncanny, it was borderline photocopied. From swoony glances, actions, to tear-jerking moments between the leads, the deja vu is real. Marketed as an original love story, 'Saiyaara' turns out to be a well-packaged remake with subtitles swapped for sobs. Jung Woo-sung and Son Ye-jin featured as the lead actors in A Moment to Remember. Many also felt that the subject was not adapted well enough for an Indian context. The healthcare system and social stigma around Alzheimer's are vastly different in India, but it wasn't explored well, making the subject feel a bit distant.2. Dr Logic, where art thou?Vaani (Aneet Padda) being diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at age 22 is where 'Saiyaara' officially swaps medical logic for melodrama. In real life, neurologists would call this extremely rare, almost unicorn-level rare. But in the world of 'Saiyaara', symptoms appear faster than plot twists. One moment she's singing love songs, the next she's wandering off, suffering memory lapses, only to magically recall her lover in the climax. It's Alzheimer's on fast-forward, a diagnosis defying science and wrapped in full Bollywood style drama..3. Trauma glossed overWhile Saiyaara brings Alzheimer's to the centre of its tragic love story, it barely pauses to explore what that actually means for Vaani, her family, or anyone around her. There's little talk of diagnosis, no mention of treatment plans, and caregiving seems to be left entirely to Krish, the boyfriend. Because in true filmy fashion, her parents, after hearing the life-altering news about their daughter having a degenerative brain condition, decide to leave her with her emotionally fragile, guitar-strumming boyfriend for a whole month. Like, really? No counsellors, no medical support, just vibes and vague promises. The portrayal of the medical condition and its effect on people around, becomes a cinematic shortcut to get maximum tears with minimum research. 4. The saviour syndromeadvertisementVaani may be battling a memory-erasing illness, but that doesn't stop her from emotionally rescuing Krish - the angry, angsty musician with daddy issues and zero direction. She swoops into his chaotic life like a guardian angel. From calming his temper, encouraging his art, to basically becoming his support system, she portrays saviour syndrome in the garb of love. Instead of allowing both characters to grow together, the film leans into the tired trope of the 'damaged boy' and the 'good girl who heals him', only to then swiftly change gears and show him as the knight in shining armour. Is that what we want to tell our kids, that your lover will save you?5. The troubled artist with real daddy issuesAnd no, the daddy issues we mentioned aren't just for dramatic flair; Krish Kapoor has a toxic, alcoholic father (played by Varun Badola). Yes, his childhood was rough. But 'Saiyaara' stretches that pain into a full-blown licence for adult misbehaviour. From living rent-free with his friends to throwing violent tantrums, including beating up a journalist for his review, Krish is less a 'tortured artist' and more a man-child with a mic. Art doesn't justify arrogance, and trauma doesn't excuse toxicity. It's high time Bollywood stops confusing brokenness with depth and The (Un)bandKrish is apparently a rising music star, but you would barely know it. He abandons a concert tour midway, no explanation, no real consequences (realistically, that would mean lawsuits or at least a major PR crisis). The entire band subplot feels like filler, with little depth or industry realism. Supporting characters, including his bandmates, exist only to add brief tension and then vanish without impact. For a film so rooted in love and ambition, 'Saiyaara' treats everyone outside the central couple as disposable, and we need to ask the director why! 7. Need privacy, even in loveLove is all about connection, but not at the cost of consent. At one point, Krish reads Vaani's personal diary and turns her most intimate thoughts into lyrics for his songs, without even informing her! It's framed as romantic, but in reality, is it? No, it's actually an invasion of privacy. Also, instead of showing genuine emotional intimacy, the film relies on grand gestures, voiceovers and swelling music to do the heavy lifting. Is this what's left about love today?- EndsDo share your thoughts about Saiyaara in the comment box May Also Like
