Shah Rukh Khan doesn't get involved in film's music; Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar do ‘100% mehnat', reveals Amaal Mallik
Composer and singer Amaal Mallik recently shed light on the often-overlooked struggles of musicians in Bollywood. Speaking to Mirchi Plus, he shared that while Shah Rukh Khan takes a hands-off approach and lets the director lead the musical vision, stars like Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan are more hands-on, actively participating in the music-making process. Amaal Mallik recently opened up about musical interests of top Bollywood stars. Shah Rukh leaves the music to the director 'With senior actors, it's easy because they know what music works on them. Shah Rukh gets less involved in music. He leaves it to the director, who sirf sunte hain thoda (he just listens briefly). Akshay sir 100% mehnat karte hain apne music par (Akshay sir puts 100% effort into his music). Salman Khan too. But with Akshay, there's an understanding to experiment; he isn't stuck in his era," he shared. Amaal reveals how younger actors struggle with choices But the real problem, Amaal said, lies with the new crop of actors. "Newer guys are stuck, they don't know who to relate with. There's no particular name, but all new actors. They are in such self-doubt that they are not able to do good work. They are so confused. It's like sabzi mandi for them – sabse gaane le lo (take songs from everyone). Sit and listen to them with your management team at night. Vo sab bheed hai, music mein jitni kam deciding bheed ho utna acha hai (That's all just a crowd; the fewer people deciding in music, the better)." However, Amaal went on to say that if the hero doesn't feel that the composer's song is not the right fit, even if someone casually remarks that it is not good, he can easily get it replaced. Amaal lamented that sometimes, they only get to find the fate of their track after the film has been released. Amaal's recent work Composer and singer Amaal Mallik has been actively making his mark across both film and independent music. He recently contributed to the soundtrack of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, recreating the iconic tracks Ami Je Tomar 3.0 and Mere Dholna 3.0, which have collectively garnered over 155 million views on YouTube. Amaal also composed Patang Ki Dor for the film Inn Galiyon Mein, which was released in March. Palak Muchhal and Armaan Malik sang versions of the song. In addition to studio work, Amaal continues to perform live, recently appearing at Nirma University in Ahmedabad.

Vidya Balan, the actress, changed her health approach. She focused on reducing inflammation instead of strict diets. She consulted nutritionists in Chennai. They identified incompatible vegetables in her diet. She stopped gym workouts. This improved her well-being. She encourages listening to individual body needs. Anti-inflammatory diets like Mediterranean and DASH are discussed. These diets focus on whole foods. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads A Lifelong Struggle with Weight The Hidden Culprits on Her Plate Abandoning the Gym to Find Balance Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Understanding the Anti-Inflammatory Diet Types of Anti-Inflammatory Diets Plenty of fruits and vegetables Whole grains such as brown rice and oats Legumes like lentils and beans Nuts and seeds Olive oil as the main source of fat Fatty fish such as salmon and sardines Limited consumption of processed foods and red meat Plant-Based Approaches and Their Impact Listening to the Body: The Core Message Vidya Balan, known for her power-packed roles and magnetic screen presence, returned to the silver screen with the horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 last year. But along with her acting resurgence, she also garnered attention for her notably slimmer appearance. In a conversation with Galatta India, the acclaimed Kahaani actress shared that her transformation had little to do with intense workouts or fad diets. Instead, it stemmed from a more mindful, sustainable approach to health—one that targeted chronic inflammation rather than chasing rapid weight revealed that staying lean had always been an uphill battle for her. Despite adhering to strict diets and grueling fitness routines, the weight she lost would often return. Like many others, she believed the solution lay in burning more calories and eating less. However, her experience took a surprising turn earlier this year when she consulted a nutritional group based in Chennai. After a detailed evaluation, the experts informed her that the issue wasn't necessarily fat—but inflammation. This revelation led her to adopt what they called an 'elimination diet,' a regime focused on identifying and removing foods that triggered inflammation in her who has been a vegetarian all her life, was astonished to learn that common vegetables like spinach (palak) and bottle gourd (doodhi), which she consumed regularly, were not compatible with her system. This contradicted the widely held belief that all vegetables are universally beneficial. She emphasized that what works for one person might not work for another. Her new dietary plan eliminated such ingredients, and the result was a noticeable drop in weight—without the struggle and frustration that had marked her earlier surprising aspect of Vidya's journey was her decision to completely stop working out. After years of intense gym sessions where she pushed herself relentlessly, the nutritionists advised her to take a break from physical training altogether. Following their guidance, she embraced this new path and, for the first time, went an entire year without stepping into a gym. Contrary to conventional wisdom, this approach made her feel healthier and more at peace than shared that she often faced public scrutiny and harsh commentary about her body, especially early in her career. This constant judgment took a toll on her self-worth, making her equate her appearance with her value. Today, she's found freedom in letting go of that pressure and understanding that every person's health journey is unique. She clarified that she wasn't advising people to avoid exercise altogether, but rather encouraging them to listen to their bodies and respect their individual transformation shone a spotlight on a lesser-discussed approach to health—the anti-inflammatory diet. According to medical experts at WebMD, this dietary model focuses on increasing the intake of foods that naturally reduce inflammation while avoiding those that exacerbate it. Chronic inflammation is associated with numerous health problems, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. An anti-inflammatory eating plan can potentially alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being, but it's essential to consult a healthcare professional before making significant dietary well-known dietary patterns fall under the anti-inflammatory umbrella. One of the most prominent is the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes whole, nutrient-dense foods. This diet includes:Foods that are discouraged in this plan include added sugars, refined carbohydrates, and saturated fats found in highly processed meats and tropical oils like palm and coconut DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet shares similarities with the Mediterranean diet but adds more focus on limiting sodium intake. It also includes more low-fat dairy products to help manage blood pressure MIND (Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) diet is a blend of the two, specifically designed to support brain health and potentially reduce the risk of Alzheimer's and dementia. Key components include whole grains, leafy vegetables, berries, nuts, fish, and olive oil, while limiting pastries, butter, red meat, and fried eating patterns like vegetarian and vegan diets also align with anti-inflammatory principles. These diets avoid animal products—fully in the case of veganism—and center on whole plant foods. Studies suggest that when properly balanced and free from processed substitutes, plant-based diets can lower inflammation markers and contribute to improved health Balan's transformation stands as a powerful example of how healing and wellness are not always about strict routines or appearance-driven goals. Her story underscores the importance of understanding one's body, identifying what works individually, and stepping away from rigid societal expectations. As she discovered through her own experience, real change comes not from punishment, but from tuning in, nourishing wisely, and choosing self-respect over external validation.

When Vidya Balan Revealed The Real Reason Behind Her Weight Loss: "I Have Not..."
Vidya Balan, who has been under scrutiny for her weight throughout her career, garnered a lot of attention in 2024 with her transformation, ahead of the release of her hit movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. In an interview with Galatta India, the 46-year-old had revealed the reason behind her weight loss, and it had nothing to do with exercise. In fact, it was a diet that helped her reduce inflammation and shed the extra kilos. The Secret Behind Vidya Balan's Weight Loss Vidya Balan opened up about how she always struggled to be thin, and no amount of diets or exercises helped her. "I have dieted and exercised like crazy, and sometimes, I would lose weight, and it would come back," she shared. Vidya Balan also added that she just followed a strict "diet" and not through exercise. She has not even worked out for a year after starting the diet. She further revealed that she connected with a nutritional group in Chennai called Amura at the beginning of 2024, and they told her she suffered from inflammation. "They said, 'It is just inflammation; it is not fat'. So, they put me on a diet to get rid of the inflammation, elimination of inflammation it's called, and it worked beautifully for me, and the weight went like that." Vidya Balan shared, "They (Amura) asked me to stop working out. You know everyone has been telling me 'Oh my God, you are your slimmest' and I have not worked out all year. This is the first year that I have not worked out." However, the Paa actor also said that she is not asking people not to work out, but that is what worked for her. "I am just enjoying myself, and I am feeling healthier than ever. I am not saying you should not exercise... but remember no two people are the same... we must respect our individuality." What Is The Anti-Inflammatory Diet For Weight Loss For the unversed, inflammation is your body's natural process of protecting itself from various illnesses, infections, or injuries. However, chronic inflammation can be harmful and sometimes even make a person gain weight. As the name suggests, an anti-inflammatory diet is an eating pattern that helps reduce inflammation in the body. Whole foods, healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids, limiting processed foods, drinking enough water, and incorporating healthy spices in your diet are some of the options included in this diet. A 2020 study published in the journal Nutrients found that an energy-restricted anti-inflammatory diet is an effective way to manage obesity, especially in young adults.
