The actress can be seen doing the deadlifts in the video, which she shared on her Instagram Stories.
She wrote in the video, “Dear diary, hmmmm… shooting nights for so long that I don’t know where to begin. Came back to my room at 8 in the morning after the night shoot, had my meal, but couldn’t sleep at all. So, I read a book and went to bed around 12 noon. Woke up at 6 in the evening, wanted to do some cardio but didn’t feel like it. Instead, I did some work on the phone and read a book. However, my body kept craving for some food (as usual), so I had a few snacks here and there.”
The actress further mentioned: “Around 1 in the night, I went for a workout… did 100 kg deadlifts today and some legs… felt like a powerful beast. Also, I watched a movie while at it. Oh, and now my knee is also well-rested, so I can’t wait to start running again. Came up to the room, had dinner, and headed to shoot. Shooting with Dhanush sir, Shekar sir, Niketh, and the Kubera team is so much fun. It’s the 30th today, and it’s 7 in the morning, nowhere close to being sleepy. My sleep cycle is so messed up.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, the actress has a slew of projects in the pipeline, including ‘The Girlfriend’, ‘Chhaava’, ‘Rainbow’, ‘Kubera’ with Dhanush, ‘Animal Park’, and ‘D-51’.
Kajol’s cryptic reply after she’s trolled for old post about her being ‘rude’ to autistic server
Mumbai– Actress Kajol, who is being recently trolled on social media for allegedly being rude to an autistic boy, shared a cryptic post on Tuesday, saying ‘when you aren’t ready for that level of nonsense and need a minute to recalibrate’.
The backlash stemmed from a viral post on Reddit, where a user recounted an incident involving his/her brother.
The post, which was posted years ago, read: “I love my brother so much, he is on the autism spectrum, so life has been really hard for him, until a few years ago. People finally began accepting him for who he was, and he got to work at a high-end restaurant in Juhu, where people encouraged him to work. He had been really, really happy with his job for the past few months, until yesterday. He is a huge fan of Kajol. And usually sees a single film of hers on repeat (either ‘Dilwale’ or ‘My Name Is Khan’) and that brings him joy. Yesterday, Kajol came with a couple of friends to the restaurant where he worked, and he was overjoyed. He usually gets back-end duties because he is good with numbers, but they allowed him to handle the bill once the dinner was finished.”
The note further read: “All he wanted to say was that Kajol brought him a lot of happiness and that he wished the best for her future. My brother was overwhelmed and started crying, but all she did was say, ‘hogaya? Ab nautanki ban karo aur bill loh’. And she complained to the manager about employing people like him. From the bottom of my heart, F*** you Kajol. You couldn’t even say thank you. It’s not like he interrupted you while you were eating. I hope and pray no one treats you like you treated my brother, and you will have more awareness about what my brother is going through in the future. A lot of celebrities have come to the restaurant he works in, some even bigger than you, but guess what? A large number of them might have demands but are at least not insufferable like you.”
“For once in my life, my brother felt good about having a job in a society like India, which doesn’t even understand or respect my brother’s condition. Now he feels really shy about talking to anyone else. I am super pissed at you and you alone,” it added.
In response to the online trolling and the viral post, Kajol shared a quirky photo of herself making a confused face.
Along with the picture, she wrote a cryptic note, which read: “When you aren’t ready for that level of nonsense and need a minute to recalibrate #honestyday #givemeaminute.”
On the work front, Kajol was last seen as Devyani in ‘Lust Stories 2’, and Noyonika Sengupta in the web series ‘The Trial’.
She next has ‘Sarzameen’, ‘Do Patti’, and ‘Maa’ in her kitty.

How Seerat Kapoor copes with daily grind of soaps: ‘I walk on sets in between takes’
Mumbai– Seerat Kapoor, who portrays Mannat in the show ‘Rabb Se Hai Dua’, shared that the daily grind of daily soaps puts a strain on their health, due to the lack of time for regular exercise.
The actress said that working around the clock can sometimes take a toll on an actor’s health, but she believes that maintaining a positive attitude, following a healthy diet, and ensuring proper rest can mitigate these challenges.
Seerat said: “The daily grind of daily soaps does put a strain on our health, especially because we don’t get the time to exercise daily. And with the changing weather, we have to eat right, drink a lot of water, and take proper rest. I try to walk on the sets in between my takes just to keep my body in rhythm.”
The actress believes that daily soaps are a blessing for any actor because they give them instant fame and make them a household name.
“I believe that for an actor, daily soaps are a blessing. Not only because of the regular income but also because of the things you learn during this time. The kind bonds you create and the kind relationship that you build with the audience are precious,” added Seerat.
The show stars Dheeraj Dhoopar as Subhaan and Yesha Rughani as Ibaadat.
‘Rabb Se Hai Dua’ airs on Zee TV. (IANS)
