After sparking widespread concern with his recent physical change, actor Rajkummar Rao, 41, clarified that his dramatic 10 kg weight gain and thinning hair were intentional transformations for his upcoming biopic, Nikam, where he portrays special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam. Rejecting prosthetics in favor of authentic "hard work," Rao indulged in a high-calorie diet of pizzas, biryani, and sweets to age his appearance, following a pattern of extreme method acting seen in previous films like Trapped and Bose. However, expert Garima Goyal warns that such rapid weight cycling can severely impact insulin sensitivity, heart health, and metabolic rates, stressing that while actors manage these shifts under strict medical and nutritional supervision, the general public should prioritize gradual, sustainable changes. As Rao now transitions into "Ganguly mode" to portray cricket legend Sourav Ganguly, the focus shifts to preserving muscle mass and cardiovascular health through a strategic recovery plan rather than aggressive restriction.
Under the proposed change, only families with an annual income of up to ₹8 lakh will be eligible for the scholarship from the next academic year.

Cancer survivor Lisa Ray, 53, recently broke her silence on the "shame and stigma" of entering chemo-induced menopause at the age of 37, highlighting the lack of emotional and medical roadmaps for women facing early hormonal shifts. Consultant gynecologist Dr. Richa Bharadwaj explains that chemotherapy can cause an abrupt cessation of ovarian function, triggering intense symptoms like hot flashes, hair thinning, and extreme fatigue that are often mistakenly dismissed as general cancer recovery. This "second shock" is emotionally taxing as survivors often feel pressured to be purely grateful for life, leading them to internalize grief over lost fertility and identity changes. To reclaim their well-being, experts emphasize the necessity of transparent conversations about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), bone health, and lifestyle interventions—including strength training and protein-rich diets—to manage the long-term metabolic and mental health impacts of mid-life transitions after illness.
