Actor and Member of Parliament Ravi Kishan on ‘fruitful’ weight loss journey: I lost 18kg by changing how I eat

Published by Parlour News

At a time when weight-loss drugs dominate transformation conversations, actor-politician Ravi Kishan says he relied on dietary changes and exercise to lose 18kg. (Before and after) Ravi Kishan in feature film Laapataa Ladies and currently in a slimmer avatar “I was 90kg and dropped to 72kg. Prepare kar raha hoon apni body ko, ripped kar de raha hoon, shrink kar raha hoon,” the 57-year-old tells us. Political duties and visits to his Gorakhpur constituency led to some weight gain, he says, but he has now returned to a fruit-heavy diet to regain a leaner frame. He says, “I lost 18kg by changing how I eat.” His changing screen appearances prompted the transformation. “Laapataa Ladies (2024) required me to look heavy, in Mirzapur: The Movie I will look lean, while in Naagzilla I have a super-fit body. When you are in your 50s, it’s not easy, but food changes can help, as 70-80% is what you eat and the rest is exercise,” he says. Kishan clarifies that his regimen is flexible rather than strictly fruit-only. “It’s …

‘Not Up to Standard’: Sikandar Raza Slams Harare Pitch After Zimbabwe’s 7-Wicket Loss to India

‘Not Up to Standard’: Sikandar Raza Slams Harare Pitch After Zimbabwe’s 7-Wicket Loss to India

Published by Webster

3 min readJul 24, 2026 10:16 AM IST Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza was highly critical of the Harare Sports Club pitch used for the first T20I against India, where the hosts were thrashed by seven wickets on Thursday. Raza said the surface was “not up to the standard” and made batting difficult, particularly with the new ball, after Zimbabwe managed only 125 for seven after being invited to bat first by Indian skipper Shreyas Iyer. “Again, not up to the standard, I think. In the morning, the moisture certainly played a part, but I didn’t think it was going to play a part for that long. I thought it remained tough with the new ball. Unfortunately, we didn’t hit many boundaries up front as well, so the ball stayed new, and because of that, I felt the movement off the deck made batting even tougher,” Raza said after the loss. India fielded an inexperienced pace attack featuring Mayank Yadav, Prince Yadav, and debutant Ashok Sharma. However, Mayank, making a comeback after two years, combined with …

This came after the side was also clean-swept 2-0 by Ireland. The ODI series loss was India’s third defeat in the 50-over format with Shubman Gill at the helm, with his only win coming against Afghanistan at home.

The inexperienced attack – featuring Prince Yadav, Gurnoor Brar, Prasidh Krishna, and Arshdeep Singh – conceded 387 runs as India lost by 27 runs, adding another white-ball series to their growing list of defeats. Speaking about Gill’s captaincy, Vihari said, “Having just five bowlers in the last ODI, he (Gill) was struggling with his bowling …

The status will continue for other purposes until final adjudication by the concerned authority. A three-judge bench presided by Chief Justice of India Surya Kant pointed out that it had already made this clear in its judgment upholding the Bihar SIR. The comments came as the bench, also comprising Justices Joymala Bagchi and V Mohana, was hearing a plea seeking its intervention to streamline the hearings before the tribunals set up to hear appeals against exclusions from the voters list.
