    We got in touch with Darrell Foster, who trained and guided Farhan Akhtar during his body transformation as a boxer for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s film Toofaan, and discussed the actor’s workout routine, diet plan, and the mental strength it took for him to get in the required shape.

    Farhan Akhtar Diet Plan And Manipulation For ‘Toofaan’
    Akhtar had to undergo some significant changes in the amount of food he used to consume on a day-to-day basis. In the film, the actor can be seen in two very drastic shapes, which made him bulk up first and then shed all that fat to become chiseled. 
    i. Bulking Up Phase:

    During this phase, Farhan was made to eat around 5000 calories per day, which is almost double of how much he was supposed to eat in order to maintain his weight. Foster says that he had taken away all restrictions on his diet during this time and allowed him to indulge in high-carb and high-protein foods.There were times when Akhtar would feel bloated and completely filled up to the neck and he’d still be made to consume even more calories in the form of shakes.ii. Leaning Down Phase:

    In the initial days of leaning down, Akhtar’s intake was brought down to 3000 calories per day (which is still over 500 calories more than what he’d usually consume).Eventually, the restrictions got even more severe and his intake was slashed down to 1200-1500 calories per day.Akhtar would have to wake up in the middle of the night to eat sodium-rich foods as he would lose a lot of water while training for over 6-8 hours per day.Additionally, on days he had to highlight his abs, and appear “shredded”, he had to avoid water retention - a common but potentially dangerous process that bodybuilders, athletes and actors commonly practice to appear lean.How To Get Ripped Like Farhan Akhtar From ‘Toofaan’?

    A high-speed solar storm is heading towards the Earth at a speed of 1.6 million kilometres per hour, according to NASA. The storm is expected to hit our planet’s magnetic field and it could affect essential services such as electricity supply and communications infrastructure around the world.

    The solar flare was detected from an equatorial hole in the sun’s atmosphere and can travel a maximum speed of 500 km/second. These solar storms can heat up the outer atmosphere of the Earth and it can have a direct effect on satellites. It can cause interference with GPS navigation, mobile phone signals and satellite TV. The current in power lines can also be affected and in turn blow transformers. 

    According to a prediction by the Space Weather Prediction Centre of the United States, the storm will also lead to a blackout of high-frequency radio communication for almost an hour in a vast area. The solar flare has been marked at X1 level by the Centre. Solar flares are massive explosion on the surface of the sun that releases energy and high-speed particles into space.

    The X-class flares are some of the biggest and strongest flares categorised by the Space Weather Prediction Centre. The smaller flares fall under A-class, followed by B, C, M and X. Experts also fear that the strong flare may trigger geomagnetic storms in the Earth’s atmosphere. The phenomenon also results in visually pleasing auroras in north and south latitude regions.

    Geomagnetic storms can cause major or minor disturbances occurring in the Earth’s atmosphere due to energy exchange from solar winds while entering the Earth’s space environment. These powerful solar winds can break the Earth’s Magnetic Field which causes GPS navigation, mobile phone signals and satellite TV to malfunction. 

    In some of the most extreme cases, solar winds can also increase the frictional drag of satellites and affect their orbits enough for them to fall to the Earth’s surface. Solar winds are also extremely dangerous to Astronauts who are not fully sheltered. Charged particles can risk soaking harmful radiation and may also cause damage to spacecrafts. 
    In 1989, a solar storm caused a nine-hour blackout on Hydro-Québec's electricity transmission system in Canada.

    A crypto-mining operation in the city of Vinnytsia, Ukraine was discovered where it had 3,800 PS4s and over 500 GPUs being used for crypto-farming. The farm also had 50 processors being used alongside the PS4s and GPUs. The PlayStation 4 may not be the appropriate hardware for crypto-farming since it was developed using technology in 2013.

    GPUs have been hard to get a hold of due to the chip shortage during the pandemic and it seems like this particular group depended on last-gen console hardware to get their mining done. Pictures provided by the SSU (Security Service of Ukraine) show that the crypto-miners were using the PS4 Slim variant which was released in 2016, years after the original PS4 console. It’s not surprising to see that somebody was able to amass over 3,000 consoles so easily. 

    While it is hard to determine how 3,800 PS4 Slim’s performance was for crypto-mining but it was found that the console wasn’t sufficient for Ethereum mining. The PS4 Pro uses a lower-powered silicon of the AMD RX 480 which was also not deemed useful for crypto-mining. The PS4 Pro has a slightly higher clocking refresh than the Slim variant. 
    © Security-Service-of-Ukraine
    Having said that, Ethereum mining depends more on memory bandwidth than compute performance. The PS4 Slim manages to do 176 GB/s with its 8 GB of shared GDDR5. That’s 256 GB/s less than desktop computers and 217.6 GB/s of the PlayStation 4 Pro model. 

    While the consoles don’t necessarily have enough memory bandwidth, its clear these miners were using the PS4 Slim for its affordability and availability rather than speed and efficiency. Since there some 3,800 consoles being used, it could be possible the setup may have yielded favourable results.

    However, much like many crypto-mining operations, this particular farm was stealing electricity from the Vinnytsia power grid. This means they didn’t really have any overheads apart from the hardware cost and power usage wasn’t really a big concern.

    In total, the Ukrainian authorities seized up to 5,000 pieces of hardware where all of which have been extremely short supply in almost every part of the world.

    Being an actor comes with the perks of a celebrity status they enjoy and all the love that comes their way but being famous and staying in the public eye means they have got to be working on themselves constantly even when the cameras  go off.

    Actor Rohit Bose Roy, who is a super successful face on TV and enjoys a stellar fan base recently shared his epic transformation and the secret behind it. He claimed “no shortcuts, no magic pills”, and that basically sums up his gruelling hard work which shows and how!

    Naturally, his comment section is filled with people reacting in awe.

    Rohit is known for his impressive work history which ranges from shows like Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chand, Sanjivani, and Swabhimaan. He has done some fantastic work in few movies such as Paltan, Kaabil, Fashion and Kaante as well.

    Physical transformations are an integral part of an actor’s life. Actors like Aamir Khan and Farhan Akhtar, who are known as method actors, have been perfecting the art of moulding their bodies according to the dynamics and demands of the role they take up. Nevertheless, changing shapes like an amoeba and transforming yourself is a lot of hard work, so kudos to these guys who continue doing the drill and serving motivation to us.

    Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Devdas turned 19 today. Starring Madhuri Dixit, Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the movie is extravagant in terms of sets, visual aesthetics, and costumes. For the unversed, Devdas is also one of the most expensive movies Indian Cinema has ever made.  
    It would take a genius to make a love story that speaks volumes about its aesthetics. But Sanjay Leela Bhansali hit it out of the park as Devdas managed to break multiple records.

    Akshay Kumar is the only actor in Bollywood who can give anyone a run for their money when it comes to fitness. We all know that he does most of his stunts on his own and there is no second-guessing his fitness.

    With each role in Bollywood, we have only seen him getting fitter. However, recently he got the chance to do the complete opposite for a film. Yes, you read that right!
    While filming for Aanand L Rai’s upcoming film Raksha Bandhan, in which he plays a Dilli ka ladka, he had to gain weight for this role.

    Interestingly, he lost six kgs to look leaner as a cop in Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi and then had to bulk up for his next film.
    View this post on Instagram
    In an interview, Akshay Kumar said, “I quite enjoy the process of losing or gaining weight for a character because I am able to do it in a healthy way. I have gained 5 kgs in a totally natural process. And it also allowed me the rare indulgence of eating meri maa ke haath ka halwa. What a blessing!”
    He expressed that he enjoys the process of any transformation that he does for his films.
    In June, Akshay Kumar revealed that he started filming for the film Raksha Bandhan. He also dedicated this film to his sister Alka and said, “Growing up my sister, Alka was my first friend. It was the most effortless friendship. Aanand L Rai’s Raksha Bandhan is a dedication to her and a celebration of that special bond.”
