This time, live to eat
There was a time when a size-zero was the most sought-after concept. With the likes of pleasantly plump Sonakshi Sinha and a curvaceous Esha Gupta making a mark in the industry, the concept of beauty and fitness has changed gradually. "It was only Kareena Kapoor, who really raised the bar about how women should look like," says Rujuta Diwekar, celebrity nutritionist. Her two books Don't Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight and Women and the Weight Loss Tamasha have won her several accolades. In Chandigarh, for an interaction with a diet conscious lot, we are not surprised when the small basement at Books and Brew, Sector 38, is buzzing with people. Breaking popular myths about food, she elaborates the basics of a diet.
Milky way Whosoever thought that toned milk is good for health, needs to cross check facts. "The basic nutrients of milk are rich as it is. They don't need anything else," she says. And certainly, stop using those tetra and carton milk packs. "Make an effort to find a local milkman who can supply you with unadulterated milk," she adds. Including milk products in all three meals is the secret to good health. And yes, the good-old Indian cow's milk is the best. "Just wait till America takes a patent for it. Then we won't mind paying Rs 100 extra for milk," she laughs. Ghee spree Refined oils are the significant cause of all artery blockages. Surprised, right? "Take my word, eat around three teaspoons of ghee everyday and watch your health improve," she smiles, in between the anxious hands make notes of what she says. People are in sedentary jobs and likewise, the body requirement of ghee has increased in fact. Fibre mesh Everyone thinks a rich fibre diet is the mantra for good health. "Never stock up on fibre. It retains water and makes the body more bulky," she says. When it comes to fruits, she suggest whatever grows locally and can be procured seasonally is the best. "My grandparents always said that all that we can leave with you is good health," she says. Of course, she is living perfectly well with the heritage. Supplementary warning As a bride sits and anxiously waits for the groom, who is perhaps lost in the song and dance routine, what do you do? "Pop a calcium pill," smiles Rujuta. Pointing to the calming effect it has on the nerves, she suggests taking calcium at bed time. "The basic definition of supplements is adding on, meaning that they help in better absorption of natural minerals in the body," she says. Another myth busted here is consuming multivitamins everyday helps us make up for the lost nutrients. "Always try to take them separately. Taking them together is like buying an insurance policy," Rujuta adds. Go organic Although it is not possible to go completely organic these days, but knowing facts about the food helps build a better diet plan. Coming from a family where fruits and vegetables were home-grown, her suggestion is to procure fresh fruits from local markets. "The so-called imported fruits that you buy from supermarkets might be chemically ripened," she says. Eat natural to live happily. vasudha@tribunemail.com
The journey and the road ahead
Rujuta Diwekar works out of Mumbai, practises yoga in Rishikesh and treks in the rest of the Indian Himalayas. Winner of the Nutrition Award 2010 from the Asian Institute of Gastroentrology, she is currently working on her third book, which will focus on exercising. “Again the subject has several myths involved. I just want to state facts,” she says. The book will be out in September.

Dressed to perfection
Women love to dress up, but how many of them actually do it as they should? So, the latest show called What Not to Wear-India, by the lifestyle channel TLC, is all about giving the participants a makeover and guiding them about their image and wardrobes.
The show is an Indian version of International makeover series and has thirteen participants which were nominated by their friends and families. The personal style guides Soha Ali Khan and Aki Narula will teach contestants lessons on style. Heart talk The fair and lovely Soha Ali Khan co-hosts this reality show that begins from September 3. Says Soha, "I really enjoyed the show and I liked the concept so much that I thought of foraying into television once again." The Indian woman is handling so many roles, right from being a housewife, a mother, to a working individual that somewhere they forget what they should dress up like. "In some of the episodes, we have tried to re-invent the overall look of the women by keeping their body shapes and sizes in mind," adds Soha. So, imagine a celebrity and a stylist going through your wardrobes and telling you what you should wear and what you shouldn't. Obviously, Soha must have come out with some interesting observations? "First of all, a woman is never happy with her physical appearance and secondly she is scared of experimenting, which is a major drawback when it comes to fashion sensibilities in India." We wonder what is Soha busy with after this show? "I'm a part of Tigmanshu Dhulia's Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster Returns, a thriller, Chaarfutiya Chhokare and Mumbai Cutting which is still in the pipeline after so many years. Rest, I have been away from Mumbai for a few months." Everybody is all ears to her when she answers to brother Saif Ali Khan's confused wedding dates. "It's really difficult to plan a wedding and especially when you are working in the film industry. If not by this year then by next year Kareena and Saif will surely tie the knot." And what about her D-day? "Saif needs to get married first and till then me and Kunal are spending quality time with each other." From the style corner Fashion designer and Bollywood stylist Aki Narula says that the journey of the show was very exciting for him. "It was like I have finally put in my years of experience into practical usage. I had already designed for so many movies and celebrities when this concept came across. I was more than ready to take it on," says Aki. Each and every episode has dealt with styling issues, clothing problems and insecurities about physical appearances. "Nobody is perfect in this world, but one can do wonders if one wears what suits them," adds Aki. We wonder how he dealt with the real show. "It was a very different experience because when you work on a movie, the script has to be kept in mind and when it came to What Not To Wear-India, we had to face a reality check." The stylist has contributed his designs to Ranbir Kapoor's upcoming movie Barfi! What would be his one style mantra before signing off? "Do not be a fashion victim, rather wear something you are comfortable in." sabiatalwar@tribunemail.com

In sync with extreme
Gary Humphrey and Bill Wu, two complete opposites, one former British special forces operative, another a chiropractor; get together to bring a brand new show One Car Too Far. If you have enjoyed shows like Man Vs. Wild, Dual Survival or I Shouldn't Be Alive…well, this one goes a step further.
The duo dropped off into extreme conditions along with a car, not only have to survive the inhospitable terrain, but reach a safe station. Here's their take on the extreme adventure… Thrilling show Gary, having survived adventures around the globe, found a lifetime opportunity to explore the extremes in here. For Bill, an expert off- roader, being the part of such an adventure has been a huge thing. "This was an opportunity, we really couldn't say no to," chorus the two. Challenges abound Having already wrestled a 12-foot Anaconda and many such adventures, Gary, the survival expert had his hands full here too, "It was a hell lot of adventure," he says. For Bill, it was a new experience all together, "The show gave me the chance to be at places I never imagined…the volcanoes or the rainforest, it has been amazing." Tuning together "Had we been similar, we would have acted in tandem and it would have been a no-show," says Bill. But the show makers chose drastically diverse people. "It took us time to tune into each other. There have been highs, lows and lots of learning happening in between," says Gary. India calling This duo, soon to debut their show in India on September 3 at 10 pm on Discovery, are keen on exploring this country too. In fact, Gary's been a yoga practitioner. He opted for it while struggling with health troubles. "I initially thought yoga to be a big gun for me, but once in it, the benefits have been tremendous," says Gary, who is fascinated by our colourful country. mona@tribunemail.com

Hair is how
Fashion forward hair styling with international products is what Affinity in association with Sebastian offers to tricity residents. The salon, spread over 5400 sq ft, offers cutting edge hair styling with Sebastian, an international hair care and styling range. Says Rob Samet, “Sebastian is branded as edgy, rocky, contemporary hair styling. At the same time, it’s a versatile product that can lend any look in the expert hand of the stylist.” The pricing they say has been kept affordable. mona@tribunemail.com
Chandigarh’s own VJ Bani J, was the show stopper at Affinity’s launch. Her punk look replete with rather Gothic eyelashes in black and pink epitomise the futuristic look that the salon promises the city. The girl has a thing for tattoos. She reveals, “It’s my mode of self expression,” says Bani, who has 23 tattoos in total on her. Stars, flowers (roses in red and black with complementing green leaves on right arm) and inscriptions like Rise and Shine, Karma and Truth (each on left and right arm) and birds, tribals, symbols of strength find place on her arms, wrists and back. She was 16 when she got her first one on a shoulder. And an unlikely company for her tattoo treats is her mom, who is also fond of inking her skin.

Curb your hunger
Sachin kalra
The biggest challenge when it comes to weight loss is controlling your appetite. Fortunately, there are many healthy foods that can curb your appetite naturally. Incorporating these health foods will suppress your appetite, banish hunger pangs and recharge your metabolism. So, snack on these healthy foods to stay full while consuming fewer calories. Water Water, a zero calorie drink, is perhaps the best appetite suppressing agent when you are planning to lose weight. Drinking water throughout the day and anytime you start feeling hungry deceives the brain into thinking that the stomach is full. Drinking adequate amounts of water daily will purge toxins and suppress your appetite. Oatmeal Oatmeal, another fibre-rich food, contains good carbohydrates that burn slowly and thus makes you feel less hungry. The high-fibre content also makes you feel fuller faster. Moreover, oatmeal is ideal for diabetics as it is low on the glycaemic index. You can have this power-packed breakfast food with some low fat milk. Green Tea If you easily get sick of water easily, try sipping on a cup of hot green tea. Green tea is known for its antioxidant benefits. However, it can also stimulate the release of hormones that can control or limit food cravings while creating a feeling of satiation. Green tea works by promoting thermogenesis, which increases the metabolic rate, inhibiting fat digestion, and boosting your energy. It is also a natural fat burner. Apple Apples of all varieties and types help suppress hunger for a number of reasons. Apples are not only low in calories and fat, but are also great appetite suppressing foods because of the high fiber content. The fiber helps you feel full longer because it expands in your stomach so it takes less food to satisfy your hunger and prevent you from overeating. Apples also contain natural sugars, which maintain a healthy blood sugar level. This prevents your body from developing the urge to consume more carbs. Finally, apples require lots of chewing time, which helps slow you down and gives your body more time to realise that you're no longer hungry. Dark Chocolate The bittersweet taste of pure dark chocolate helps in suppressing appetite. Some studies indicate that dark chocolate antioxidants can act as an appetite suppressant while helping you lose weight and control blood sugar. But remember only very small portions of dark chocolate are good for you. Flax seeds Flax seed supports weight loss because it is a natural appetite suppressant and a good source of dietary fiber and omega-3 fatty acids as well. The best part about flax seeds is that you can sprinkle them on anything you want to eat, be it salads, smoothies, sandwiches or curries. Eat in moderation. Almonds Almonds have been shown to increase feelings of fullness in people and help with weight management. (Kalra is a Chandigarh based fitness expert)

Being a sport
Trends and styles are there all around for anyone to emulate but only those who suit it to their persona and carry it effortlessly, qualify to be trend setters. Commerce student Paramvir Rajput has his own views on the subject: Your sense of style I am always impressed by folks who are well groomed especially the hair and physique.

Asin to play a Marathi girl
Asin is putting in her best to play a Marathi girl in an upcoming action comedy that also stars Akshay Kumar and Mithun Chakraborthy. Since the Marathi language and customs are alien to Asin, she is picking up the nuances of the language from her co-stars who are familiar with the language as well as unit hands.For a wedding scene that was shot recently, Asin was seen in a navvvari green kashta sari, mundavalya (bridal jewellery), chandrakor (crescent moon) bindi and nathni (nose ring studded with pearls and beads) and green glass bangles. Though she has essayed a bride in several of her films, this was a unique experience for her. Dressing up for her Maharashtrian character was something novel for her. The film has Asin essaying the role of Mithun’s sister Maya. Incidentally, Mithun is essaying a character called Tatya Tukaram Tendulkar. The typical Marathi lingo has been incorporated to add a zing to the yet untitled comic caper being produced by Akshay Kumar’s Hari Om Productions and H R Musik of Himesh Reshmmiya.
Gold, brown, red…bring it on!
Bipasha Basu has gold, brown and red streaks in her hair. And these days she is a frequent visitor to a beauty salon in Bandra, getting the streaks touched up because dark-red and gold are high maintenance colours.
The Bengali bombshell’s crowning glory bears a strong resemblance to the hair streaks sported by Deepika in Cocktail. And one wonders whether her hair colour is inspired by Deepika. One hears that a lot of girls are walking into salons these days and asking for a style that resembles Veronica’s tresses.
Actors setting trends for common people is heard of but not for other actors!

Fingers crossed
Colors' show Madhubala-Ek Ishq Ek Junoon started with a bang and a TRP of 2.8 which is really high for a fiction show. But soon the ratings dipped and though the cast boasts of names like Vivian Dsena (RK) and Drashti Dhami (Madhu), the show isn't generating numbers. Guess now post the marriage track, there will be some high drama and action.
All work, no love
Nausheen Ali Sardar is looking forward to anchoring with her Kkusum co-star Anuj Saxena in a show called Crimes of Passion, which will air on Big TV from August 27. But the question she is asked by one and all is about marriage. She says, she plans to get married in a year.
Fitness on priority list
Ashish Kapoor who is seen in Sony's Love Marriage Ya Arranged Marriage flaunted six pack abs on the show. The handsome actor maintains his physique with regular gymming. He says, he feels incomplete if he doesn't work out. Between shooting and commuting to the sets and driving for four hours total, we wonder where he gets the energy from.
Still a team
Hina Khan, aka Akshara of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai is a docile bahu on-screen but off-screen she is a young girl in love. She has been dating director of her debut show, Neeraj Baliyan since three-and-a-half years. Even after he quit the show, their bond remained strong. Buzz is that they plan to get married soon.
Against the reel
Monaz Mevawalla who is currently seen as Jharna in Rajshri Productions' Jhilmil Sitaaron Ka Aangan Hoga on Sahara One does not approve of the custom wherein a groom lives in the bride's house as Ghar Jamaai, even though Jharna's husband Raj (Pravin Hingonia) is shown to be a living in his mother-in-law Angana Raichand's house.
Best of the lot
Talent gets younger
SAB TV, for the first time ever is coming up with Nanhe Superstars, a special reality show on Saturdays. The name, itself suggests that this show is going to be all about little wonders. Nanhe Superstars will provide a unique platform for the young and aspiring stars for showcasing their talent. It will be a fun filled, highly energetic and extremely competitive variety entertainment family show with never seen before acts and dance moves.
The theme of the show is the war of the sexes i.e. fights between the boys and girls team. Television industry's most popular child comedy artiste Saloni Daini aka Gangubai will anchor Nanhe Superstars and lead the girl's team. Atharva Karve will lead the boy's team.
In a new role
Atif Aslam has nothing but music on his mind and is looking forward to the keenly-awaited Indo-Pak musical extravaganza, Sur-Kshetra, a new singing based reality show. The show will simulcast on Sahara One and Colors from September 8. Atif will scout for top ten singers from Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad and mentor them to compete against India singers in a squad headed by composer, singer and actor Himesh Reshmmiya. Atif Aslam talks to Lifestyle about his journey from singing to judging a musical show.
You are one of the most talented singers in sub-continent today. What prompted you to be a judge on Sur-Kshetra? I was recording for Bollywood films like Faltu and Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya. Gajendra Singh, the pioneer of many singing based reality shows gave this offer to me. As a singer, it is good to be connected to viewers but you know TV is a great medium to reach the audiences. Tell us about this show. Music has always inspired me to explore new avenues. With Sur-Kshetra, we aim to touch newer heights. It is a great show, which will be judged by the legendary Asha Bhonsle, Abida Parveen and Runa Laila. The scale of this show is very big. How is this show different from the other singing based reality shows? With this show we are trying to revive the golden era of melodies and bring forth the best of the talent from India and Pakistan. There will be great musicians from both countries and music lovers will experience a set of new generation of singing talents. What qualities are you looking at in a contestant to be good singer? The first quality I am looking for in a contestant is his voice quality and sur. My focus is on a different voice, which we will try to select from 20 contestants. What is the format of this show? It will be telecast every Saturday and Sunday starting September 8, this reality show has 20 contestants. Ayesha Takia has also been roped in as the anchor. — Dharam Pal
