Preity Zinta: A Strong Spine Is Key to Good Health and Character
Mumbai– Actress Preity Zinta showcased her dedication to fitness with a recent Pilates workout focused on spine mobility and strength. She shared a video on Instagram performing a hanging back extension on the Cadillac machine, highlighting the importance of spinal health.
“A strong spine is the foundation for both good health and character,” she wrote, quoting Joseph Pilates: “You are as young as your spine is flexible.”
Encouraging her followers to stay active, Preity credited her trainer, Yasmin Karachiwala, for keeping her motivated.
Preity, who often shares glimpses of her personal life, recently posted a heartwarming photo with her twins, Jai and Gia, expressing how much she misses home. She and her husband Gene Goodenough, married in 2016, welcomed their twins via surrogacy in 2021.
Earlier this month, Preity also shared another back-strengthening exercise using a fitness ball, aimed at improving posture and reducing back pain, especially for those who sit for long periods.
“An amazing exercise to keep your back, glutes, and legs strong,” she captioned the post, adding her signature hashtags: #pzfit #dontgiveup #Ting.
Anurag Kashyap Summoned by Surat Court Over Brahmin Remark
Mumbai– Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has been summoned by a Surat court to appear on May 7 following a complaint over his controversial remarks about the Brahmin community.
The complaint, filed by lawyer Kamlesh Rawal on behalf of the Brahmin community, cited Kashyap’s social media posts and subsequent apology as evidence. The court accepted the materials and issued the notice. If Kashyap or his lawyer fails to appear, the court may proceed with a unilateral decision.
Rawal told IANS that Kashyap made the objectionable comments on April 16 after being asked by Aditya Dutta to refrain from making such statements. Kashyap responded, “What have you Brahmins accomplished?” Rawal filed the complaint under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including Sections 196, 197, 351, 352, 353, and 356.
Separately, RTI activist Atish Tiwari also filed a complaint against Kashyap in Mumbai.
The controversy erupted when Kashyap responded to a social media comment with, “Brahmin pe main m*******a.. koi problem? (I’ll pee on the Brahmins… any problem?).” The filmmaker later issued an apology, not for the post itself, but for the backlash it generated.
“I can’t and won’t take back what I said, but this is my apology for the hatred that followed,” Kashyap wrote, referring to the rape and death threats his family and colleagues received.
