Honestly, Mark Ruffalo and spoilers go hand in hand. Sorry Mark, you brought this upon yourself. Our homeboy Mark over here is the weakest link when it comes to giving out spoilers and now, it's become one of the biggest Marvel memes. Well, he did actually give out 'Avengers: Infinity War' spoilers that one time and even got fake fired by the Russo Brothers after apparently giving out more spoilers. Everyone knows how to take advantage of Mark's weakness and have a lot of fun with it. Recently, Mark Ruffalo appeared on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' where Jimmy actually hooked him up to a lie detector test as he asked questions about 'Avengers: Endgame' because otherwise he's proven that he can't be trusted. Poor Mark was already so scared and even said, “I don't want to get fired again!” After basic test questions like 'what's your name' and stuff, then came the real deal, all the Avengers-based questions. Jimmy asked if the Hulk is actually secretly a shapeshifting alien called Skrulls? Remember Skrulls? From 'Captain Marvel'? Yep. Of course, the red light indicating that he's lying lit up. Does this mean he is a Skrull? Wait. What? Next up, “Are there any hidden clues in the latest 'Avengers' trailer that no one has figured out yet?” He was lying, we need to get to work now! Next question was about the Hulk's love life. Jimmy asked, “If Bruce Banner and Black Widow finally get together romantically in the new movie?” Well, are we getting a pairing no one asked for? Now, it's time for a question that he actually answered truthfully. “Is Don Cheadle sexier than you?” Well, he got one at least. Then come the big guns. After bringing out a The Hulk action figure, Jimmy straight up asks “Do you ever play with yourself?” Umm, it's okay Mark, we understand, but what are you doing? Now, the biggest question we've had since 'Infinity War' - “Is everyone who disappeared from the snap from Thanos actually gone or is there any way they can come back?” What an exit! Here's the entire video: He even talked about how everyone thinks Noah Centineo looks like a younger version of him. Well, Noah is on board about playing his dad. Son? https://t.co/PsRgpTmB17 — Noah (@noahcent) March 14, 2019 And then, Mark had some jokes on Instagram.

4 Unanswered Questions Confusing Every MCU Fan Who Watched 'Captain Marvel'
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
A lot of hardcore fans of the superhero genre have criticised the newest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for bad CGI and questionable casting choices (mainly for Brie Larson as Captain Marvel) while comparing the movie to DC's Wonder Woman, which admittedly is way better than Captain Marvel. Frankly, the movie was squeezed into the MCU timeline just to introduce one of the most powerful characters of the Marvel comics into the Cinematic Universe just ahead of the grand finale, 'Avengers: Endgame'. Even if some people decide to skip this one, there would be little to no information that would have been missed out on, maybe other than the mid-credit scene, which only looks like a scene from the movie. However, if you did choose to become a part of Carol Danvers' journey to becoming the superhuman that she is now, you might have left the theatres with some new, unresolved questions in your head. Spoilers Ahead. Why Did Fury Not Call Captain Marvel Before? Let's start with the most obvious one. Danvers told Fury to only give her a shout for a real emergency. If you ask us, New York City flooded with an army of combat-ready aliens ready to invade the planet to subjugate its people does feel like a big emergency. Why did he not, even once, mention anything about the strongest person/weapon he knew during the events of the first Avengers? How Is Fury Aware Of The Acronym 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' Yet? Throughout the movie, Fury calls his division - the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement & Logistics Division - by its acronym, S.H.I.E.L.D.? The events of the movie take place in 1995 when Agent Coulson was only a rookie. The idea of coming up with a shorter name for their organisation was clearly recommended by Pepper Potts during the first installment of 'Iron Man', which according to the MCU timeline takes place in 2008 and even then, Coulson said that they were “working on it”. How Did Mar-Vell Get Hold Of The Tesseract? At the end of 'Captain America: The First Avenger', we see that Howard Stark was able to salvage the Tesseract after Steve Rogers crashed the Hydra jet into the ocean. Also, Avengers (2012) shows us that the space stone was in possession of Fury. Then how was it that Doctor Mar-vell was able to take away the Infinity Stone from the extremely secure hands of a top-secret organisation like S.H.I.E.L.D.? And if that was the case then why weren't Fury & Co. actively searching for it? What Happened To 'Goose' The Cat/Flerken? Late in the second half of the movie, Fury realises that the cat he got attached to so much so quickly was actually an alien of 'High Risk Level' who could swallow multiple full-sized humans consecutively. The Flerken also swallows the Tesseract and according to the post-credit scene, coughs it out onto Fury's desk. But, what's next for Goose? Did Fury continue to keep him as a pet cat? Did he eat other people as well? Did he leave with Danvers on her expedition to free different worlds from evil? We need to know! -

Pak Cricket Board Questions The Utility Of BCCI's Impending Decision To Boycott The WC Match
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
The International Cricket Council or the ICC's quarterly meet is currently taking place in Dubai, with the agenda of India boycotting the World Cup match up against Pakistan set to be discussed on the final day of the assembly on 2nd March ie; tomorrow. Until now, the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) has shown concerns only about the security of the Indian cricket team, its players, management and the various Indian officials that will join the Indian squad for the World Cup come June. "On behalf of the BCCI, Rahul Johri raised concerns for the safety and security of the Indian team, match officials and the Indian Fans, at the CEC Meeting," a BCCI official told the Press Trust of India (PTI) on Wednesday. ICC has taken into account all the concerns shown by Johri and his team and has assured the BCCI officials that they will do everything within their jurisdiction to provide maximum security to the said personnel. However, no talks of whether the Indian cricket team will or won't be boycotting the match against Pakistan in London and Wales has been initiated as yet. Almost certain that the said agenda will surface either today or tomorrow, one of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials has come out and questioned the practicality of BCCI's impending decision on the boycott. “Pakistan's stance is that if India wants to give a walkover, it can't do anything about it. But it will pose a question as to what happens if both countries again qualify to meet each other in the knockout stages,” said the official. While the BCCI is campaigning for other ICC member nations to “sever ties with the nation from which terrorism emanates” in accordance with some of the cricketing legends such as Sourav Ganguly and Harbhajan Singh, other pundits like Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar believe that sports and politics should not be intertwined and believe that India should not only play their neighbouring rivals but also beat them, forcing them out of the knockouts. Johri along with the officials of the Committee of Administrators (CoA) also came up with an idea to force foreign cricketers to choose between playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Pakistan Super League (PSL). However, after discussing the idea in detail, no actions were taken up it as it was deemed as 'bad for business' by the IPL franchise owners. Is boycotting Pakistan during the ICC World Cup 2019 a bad idea? Yes. Why? Find out here. -

2019 in Bollywood, seems to be the year of love stories which do not follow the clichéd route of a generic, normal routine of boy-meets-girl. The upcoming movie 'Luka Chuppi' explores the complicated concept of a live-in relationship in India, 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga' was about queer romance and now, 'Photogragh' is coming our way and it looks like an unusual love story as well. The movie follows the story of a struggling street photographer played by Nawaz who convinces a Gujarati girl called 'Noorie' to pose as his fiancée for his ailing grandmother. He clicks a picture of Noorie which intrigues her and thus, they form a bond which is unusual yet special in its own way. © Amazon studios The trailer doesn't give out much and leaves us intrigued until the end. However, we totally trust the duo to give us a fabulous movie given their track record of stellar acting. Their story will unfold on 15th March 2019.

ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
If it is hard for a newcomer to make an impact with their first movie in Bollywood, it's harder, considerably more so, when one gets launched in a movie and has to share screen-space with a super established actor. This was precisely what Rohan Mehra had to face, when he made his foray into the big bad world of Bollywood, that too alongside a giant like Saif Ali Khan. However, that did not stop the lad from making an instant connection with the audience with his effortless charm and acting chops - something he seems to have inherited from his father, the iconic Mr Vinod Mehra. © MensXP Outfit Credits: T-Shirt: H&M Bomber: Nor Black Nor White Trousers: H&M Eyewear: Burberry at Luxottica It may only be the beginning for Rohan when it comes to Bollywood, but he already has established himself as a style icon among the youngsters of the country.

When anyone in the country decides to join the armed forces, it is given than their life and their soul has been authorised for serving the nation. Our brave men fight wars not just on the borders, but the wars they fight everyday in their heart when they serve the nation, while their family prays and waits for their arrival. IAF Squadron leader Samir Abrol was no different when it came to serving his country. © Facebook Squadron leader Samir Abrol and Siddharth Negi were killed while test flying the Mirage 2000 aircraft at the HAL airport in Bengaluru. The pilots tried to eject themselves but failed to do so as the flames engulfed them. This gave rise to many questioning the hygiene standards of aircrafts bought and given by the system to our pilots in the Air Force. #UPDATE The other pilot who had also ejected has succumbed to injuries in hospital. Both were test pilots- Squadron leader Negi and Squadron leader Abrol. #Bengaluru https://t.co/WZYA5RzWSU — ANI (@ANI) February 1, 2019 After Samir's brother Sushant making some valid points that are stark and alarming in questions, Samir's wife , Garima Abrol has now penned an open letter demanding answers for the loss of her husband and thousand other officers who die due to negligence in the system. Sushant Abrol: A train derails & the system wants the Railway Minister to step down but every now and then these crashes happen. Is anyone raising fingers against the Ministry, the defence minister? I have utter respect for Ma'am and I am looking up to her for an answer. https://t.co/GCaxJ4SDrZ — ANI (@ANI) February 7, 2019 Besides highlighting the pain of loss and how a soldier's family is braver than any of us, Garima raises some very valid points that demand our immediate attention. While the messages of empathy and sympathy will continue to flow for the Abrol family, let's not let this chance go and ensure that Samir's sacrifice is the face of change, not just another case of negligence.

MXP Body Love: Dheeraj Dhoopar Answers 10 Personal Questions About His Fit Physique
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
In 'MXP Body Love', we ask people with amazing bodies the key questions about how to achieve, maintain, and basically take care of our bodies in the best way possible, while seeking their guidance on the same. While we want to know hacks on seemingly superficial topics such as how to look good without clothes, we also want to delve deep and discuss bigger issues such as body positivity, acceptance, how to deal with insecurities, and also how to move past difficulties and strive to reach the best version of oneself. Our 'Body Love' expert here is actor Dheeraj Dhoopar. © Dheeraj Dhoopar 1. One food item you should never, ever eat? I feel one must never eat anything made out of refined flour (Maida). It has no nutritional value at all and causes a lot of problems later on in life. 2. The one body part you should never ignore when it comes to workout? The one body part that is ignored the most but must never be ignored is legs. Working out legs has the most benefits, amongst all the body parts. It helps develop cardio vascular strength, helps burn fat faster and also helps in increasing metabolic rate. 3. Natural fuzz vs. waxed/trimmed body hair? I feel trimming body hair is the most convenient, and hence is the best. It saves a lot of time, and also does not affect the skin adversely. If someone naturally has less body hair, then nothing like that. © Dheeraj Dhoopar 4. Grooming essentials - what are the products you can't do without? I can't do without my perfume, and I definitely cannot do without my hair products. I have a lot of them and I keep buying new stuff to experiment with. Whenever I travel out of country I make it to point to get new products, or products that are not easily available. © Dheeraj Dhoopar 5. Shave down there or trim it? I feel trimming is better any day. Saves time and effort. © Dheeraj Dhoopar 6. Best lighting for clicking nudes (or just for the boudoir)? I think natural light during monsoon season is the best when it some to shooting nudes. That light is uniform and one can play with it to any extent as it's not too harsh. © Dheeraj Dhoopar 7. Did you ever face any insecurity about your own body? What did you do to deal with it? I have never faced any insecurity with my body. I know my body well and I know what suits my body. One thing I know is that I have a tendency to put on weight, and so I make it a point to only eat and drink what my body can handle. © Dheeraj Dhoopar 8. What is the toughest challenge according to you, when it comes to obtaining and maintaining a body in its peak shape? I feel the toughest challenge is to keep at it forever. One may attain a good physique but maintaining it forever it the toughest thing to do. A lot of mental toughness and will power is required to continue doing that. 9. Not everyone is content with the way their body looks. How do you suggest one should deal with it? One most know their body to the core. Once you understand your body, you will be comfortable with whoever you are. I don't think anyone who meets you will judge you on your body, because there are a lot of other things you need to work on before you focus on that. © Dheeraj Dhoopar 10. The lines are constantly thinning, when it comes to what is beautiful and what is not. Body positivity is slowly catching up, and the 'accepted standards' of beauty and fitness are getting questioned. What are your views about it? I completely support it, as there can't be any set parameters to judge anyone physically, especially since we live in a society. I feel getting comfortable with our own body by accepting the flaws makes us open to various other forms of body types around us, which is essential for our own mental well-being. -
MXP Body Love: Kunal Kapoor Answers 10 Personal Questions About His Ripped Physique

Our 'Body Love' expert here is actor Kunal Kapoor. © Instagram/kunalkkapoor 1. One food item you should never, ever eat? I believe one should consciously avoid eating fried food. I grew up eating fried food, and the college I went to had the best Pav-Vada. I, however, have given it up completely, and haven't indulged in it since the past two years or so. © Instagram/kunalkkapoor 2. The one body part you should never ignore when it comes to workout? Legs. Unfortunately, in our country, it's always somehow about 'looking fit' than actually being fit. It's always about looking muscular and filling up the T-shirts. So people don't really work on their legs - which is absolutely unhealthy, not to mention unaesthetic. Apart from legs, glutes are also important when it comes to overall fitness, not only to look hot in a pair of jeans, but to maintain a healthy core as well. Also, we should also train the smaller muscles in our body regularly, that often gets ignored, thereby causing muscular imbalances and injuries. © Instagram/kunalkkapoor 3. Natural fuzz vs. waxed/trimmed body hair? I'm absolutely comfortable with the natural fuzz, but I'm open to trimming or waxing if a role demands it. © Instagram/kunalkkapoor 4. Grooming essentials - what are the products you can't do without? A good face wash, a good perfume (I have a huge collection of perfumes), and a nail-cutter. © Instagram/kunalkkapoor 5. Shaving Vs. trimming? Shaving seems to be a lot of work. Trimming is far easier. Anyway I like my stubble, so trimming it is. © Instagram/kunalkkapoor 6. Best lighting for clicking shirtless pictures? Till this point, honestly, I never thought about it. © Instagram/kunalkkapoor 7. Did you ever face any insecurity about your own body? What did you do to deal with it? I did, of course. Even though the popular belief runs that only overweight people get body shamed, it's not true. I was skinny as a kid, was always conscious of it. I tried to deal with it by taking up physically demanding stuff, in order to prove myself in front of other kids. I discovered the magic of exercising and workouts when I was about 16, and have never looked back since. I started doing martial arts, push-ups, pull-ups, and also started going to the gym. Even though I did it mainly to just look good at that point in time, it proved to be life-changing. © Instagram/kunalkkapoor 8. What is the toughest challenge according to you, when it comes to obtaining and maintaining a body in its peak shape? I have a terrible sweet tooth. I can finish off mithhai boxes or bars of chocolates in minutes. Even though I control it well now-a-days, it's still challenging for me. Also, I'm an overall foodie who comes from a family where everything is cooked in desi ghee and food is rich and delicious overall. Ghee is good for you, btw, provided you limit the consumption in case you're trying to build an aesthetically appealing physique. © Instagram/kunalkkapoor 9. Not everyone is content with the way their body looks. How do you suggest one should deal with it? I think the only way to deal with that is to look at it with a different approach. One should of course try to look good, but that should never be the aim with which they should plan their workouts. The goal should be to always be stronger than what you were yesterday. That way, you remain consistent, and automatically gain a better physique. I have seen really strong looking, muscular people who can't even touch their toes. What's the point of such shallow satisfaction in terms of how your body looks if it's not strong and flexible enough? Also, you should have fun while working out. Remember how we used to do somersaults and cartwheels effortlessly as children, and can't seem to do it any more when we are adults? Perhaps that's just because we forget to have fun once we grow up. © Instagram/kunalkkapoor 10. The lines are constantly thinning, when it comes to what is beautiful and what is not. Body positivity is slowly catching up, and the 'accepted standards' of beauty and fitness are getting questioned. What are your views about it? One should stop following trends, because they are just that - trends, and they will keep changing. What a body should look like will keep changing, and you can't keep up with that. What one needs to look at is their overall well-being. By that, I don't mean only physical well-being, but their mental and emotional well-being as well, and there can be multiple ways to achieve that. For example, I do an hour of meditation every morning, and that seems to help me out a lot in terms of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. So all one needs to focus on is what they feel about their own physique, and their own health, rather than focusing on what the world thinks about it. -

While we want to know hacks on seemingly superficial topics such as how to look good without clothes, we also want to delve deep and discuss bigger issues such as body positivity, acceptance, how to deal with insecurities, and also how to move past difficulties and strive to reach the best version of oneself. Our 'Body Love' expert here is actor Saqib Saleem. © Instagram/saqibsaleem 1. One food item you should never, ever eat? Karela. I just don't like Karela. © Instagram/saqibsaleem 2. The one body part you should never ignore when it comes to workout? I'd say legs. You should always train legs. © Instagram/saqibsaleem 3. Natural fuzz vs. waxed/trimmed body hair? Waxed/Trimmed Body Hair. © Instagram/saqibsaleem 4. Grooming essentials - what are the products you can't do without? A good body wash, a collection of perfumes, & a good face wash. © Instagram/saqibsaleem 5. Shave down there or trim it? No comments. © Instagram/saqibsaleem 6. Best lighting for clicking nudes (or just for the boudoir)? Why would I click nudes? I don't click nudes. © Instagram/saqibsaleem 7. Did you ever face any insecurity about your own body? What did you do to deal with it? I was a little chubby as a kid, but somehow the fat didn't make me conscious about anything. I was a sportsman. I played sports & it was all good. I eventually lost that extra weight. © Instagram/saqibsaleem 8. What is the toughest challenge according to you, when it comes to obtaining and maintaining a body in its peak shape? The toughest challenge is the diet - to get the food right & to keep it really clean. That's undoubtedly the toughest thing when it comes to maintaining a body in its peak shape. © Instagram/saqibsaleem 9. Not everyone is content with the way their body looks. How do you suggest one should deal with it? One should just be happy with whatever they have while always trying to be a better version of themselves. One should always motivate themselves, and push themselves to try and be a better person, along with working towards a better body everyday. It's essentially an everyday affair. © Instagram/saqibsaleem 10. The lines are constantly thinning, when it comes to what is beautiful and what is not. Body positivity is slowly catching up, and the 'accepted standards' of beauty and fitness are getting questioned. What are your views about it? I think one should concentrate on just being fit, rather than 'looking fit'. You don't need to have a six pack to be fit. You're fit if you can comfortably finish a 5 km run, irrespective of what people say. All I care about, superficially, is just looking good in all sorts of outfit - right from jackets to T-shirts. That is sustainable and would suffice for me. -
I entered the movie hall with a mixed perception in my head, thanks to some of the reviews (spoiler-free) I ended up reading online a day before. However, being a Potterhead I knew that not even one second would disappoint, but what I did not expect, was to keep getting the wind knocked out of me in intervals right unto the last goddamn moment! via GIPHY I had booked a Thursday night show, for which surprisingly not a lot of people showed up. So it was literally 30 odd people in the hall, who turned out to be diehard Potterheads like me. At one point after the intermission, we all ended up sitting together. Strangers yet united in love for the fandom. The unanimous “Ooooohhh” and “Aaaaaaah” and “F*****ck” was proof that we were all on the same page, as we tried to take in revelation after revelation and punched each other at every Harry Potter reference that was made. (I have a purple bruise on my arm now.) via GIPHY Look, I am not a severe critic. I don't make 'in-depth' analysis and break down the movie frame by frame and look for what went wrong. If my jaw is on the floor by the end, or I am a sobbing mess, or I am left with unending questions...that's proof that the movie has burned itself into my brain. And that is exactly what happened with 'The Crimes of Grindelwald'. via GIPHY Don't worry, I am not going to give out a single spoiler in this, however, I will let you in on a tip: The trailers are useless. Do not go into the movie hall with a very exciting notion about a particular clip you saw in the many trailers. Trust me when I say, the trailers do not give away literally anything from the movie. Yes, there is Nagini. Yes, Credence is back. Yes, Grindelwald and Dumbledore were 'closer than brothers', but that's about it. The rest of the movie, despite giving you the knowledge of these crucial things, will hit Potterheads like a freight train. via GIPHY A lot of reviews have called this movie 'miserable', 'disastrous' and 'muddled' and I just have one word for them: Muggles. via GIPHY So I have decided to list out things that, in my opinion, make this movie, a worthy sequel to 'Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them'. via GIPHY Eddie Redmayne continues to be a pure delight as the gentle, eccentric beast-loving Newt Scamander, who now finds himself burdened with a pretty massive mission by Albus Dumbledore. The kind-hearted Newt finds himself having to some touch decision which he never thought he would have to make, and I found myself sympathising for his dilemma. via GIPHY Jude Law almost steals Redmayne's thunder as the young, brilliant and ever so charismatic Albus Dumbledore, who finds himself facing his old friend-turned-nemesis Gellert Grindelwald. But, as you've seen in the trailers, he “can't move against” him, however, the reason may not be what you are thinking. © Warner Brothers There are a bunch of new beasts, who look absolutely incredible, but the entire hall collectively lost it when the baby Nifflers appeared on the screen. I swear, I thoughts Nifflers were freaking adorable, but nothing prepared me to see an even cuter version of the creature. And now, yes, getting to the part I know you want me to talk about: Credence and Nagini. How the two find each other is not as important as what they do when they are at the crossroads of their destiny. © Warner Brothers Credence is now fully aware of his powers but lands in Paris in search of answers to his past, and that is where Grindelwald comes in. He finds solace in Nagini, the Maledictus, who like him is 'different' and hates how she is forced to do someone else's bidding. Of course, every Potterhead knows that Grindelwald was not more terrifying than Voldemort, however, this movie makes it very clear, especially in one particular scene, that the dark wizard is equally capable of committing unspeakable horrors with a simple gesture, just “for the greater good”. via GIPHY Johnny Depp is brilliant as Grindelwald, channelling the dark wizard's calm yet ominously powerful presence, as he is on a mission to bring Purebloods to power and gather as many wizards as he can on his side. via GIPHY There is a lot going on in the movie, from Hogwarts flashbacks to the backstories of many crucial characters, which is why I must advise you this: ensure you are fully focused at all times. You cannot afford to miss out on anything, because everything is connected. You also need to know the books back and forth to be able to make most of the connections. via GIPHY God, I am dying to tell you the 'big thing' that happens, but of course, I won't. But believe me when I say that none of you will be ready for it. I along with the rest of the Potterheads in the hall was practically falling off my seat and clutching my head in disbelief when that particular scene unfolded. Okay. I won't say anything else. Gah, this is hard! Okay, NOW proceed with caution, as the copy has MAJOR SPOILERS. (Read on, only if you have watched the movie.) I have been holding myself back in this entire copy, and now I am going to pour out all the major questions I had by the end of the movie: . When did Abernathy switch with Grindelwald in the prison? Was Abernathy under the Imperious curse or was his allegiance genuine? How in the name of Merlin did he get a forked tongue?? . Why was the symbol of Grindelwald not splashed everywhere? In the last movie, he gave a chain with a pendant sporting his symbol on it to Credence, so why did we not see it anywhere in the movie, except that one time when Leta Lestrange goes back to Hogwarts and looks at her old desk, where the symbol is carved in there. . Did Grindelwald's henchmen actually seek out Queenie or did they stumble upon her in Paris? Did they want her on their side because she was a Legilimens, or because she was the sister of an Auror? Why was Grindelwald bent upon having her on his team? (Watching Queenie go over to the bad side broke my heart.) . Did the Mirror of Erised scene with Dumbledore and Grindelwald confirm their 'closer than brothers' relationship? Also, how did Dumbledore already have the Elder wand when they were young and were friends? . What the **** was that skull/hookah pipe thing Grindelwald was carrying around? Who did it belong to? What was its purpose and its power? . Okay, the big one now…Credence is revealed to be…Aurelius Dumbledore! (I nearly passed out when this happened). How is he related to Albus? In no way is he his direct brother if you know your timeline, so how are they 'brothers', if we go by what Grindelwald tells him. Oh, God is he lying to Credence? But then how did the Phoenix appear?

MXP Body Love: Sooraj Pancholi Answers 10 Personal Questions About His Incredible Physique

In 'MXP Body Love', we ask people with amazing bodies the key questions about how to achieve, maintain, and basically take care of our bodies in the best way possible, while seeking their guidance on the same. While we want to know hacks on seemingly superficial topics such as how to look good without clothes, we also want to delve deep and discuss bigger issues such as body positivity, acceptance, how to deal with insecurities, and also how to move past difficulties and strive to reach the best version of oneself. Our 'Body Love' expert here is actor Sooraj Pancholi. © Instagram/soorajpancholi 1. One food item you should never, ever eat? I won't comment on any food item, but I strongly advise against taking fat burners. I always see youngsters ingesting fat burners without any proper guidance, and that should be a complete no-no, for your general well-being in the future. © Instagram/soorajpancholi 2. The one body part you should never ignore when it comes to workout? Legs, for sure. © Instagram/soorajpancholi 3. Natural fuzz vs. waxed/trimmed body hair? I have never waxed my body. I'd say trimmed. © Instagram/soorajpancholi 4. Grooming essentials - what are the products you can't do without? The basics. Perfume and Vitamin E cream suffice for me. © Instagram/soorajpancholi 5. Shave down there or trim it? It really depends on the occasion. © Instagram/soorajpancholi 6. Best lighting for clicking shirtless pictures / nudes (or just for the boudoir)? Again, depends on the kind of picture I'm going for, but I'd say top lighting doesn't work for me, even though it's popular. © Instagram/soorajpancholi 7. Did you ever face any insecurity about your own body? What did you do to deal with it? I'm still insecure about my body. I feel that is what takes me to the gym every day. I feel that's not essentially a bad thing, because while I'm not obsessed with it, I don't want to feel complacent as well. I feel it's okay to feel that way, because even the most successful bodybuilders are not completely happy with their body. © Instagram/soorajpancholi 8. What is the toughest challenge according to you, when it comes to obtaining and maintaining a body in its peak shape? Diet, without a doubt. It's extremely difficult to strictly maintain a diet all year round. © Instagram/soorajpancholi 9. Not everyone is content with the way their body looks. How do you suggest one should deal with it? No one can be perfect. Perfection is a myth. Especially, with the advent of social media, especially Instagram, the pressure of obtaining a particular standard has been mounting on everyone. I feel instead of chasing something unrealistic, one should actually work towards something sustainable, and what they feel at peace with. Even the best of bodybuilders aren't 100% happy with their physiques, but they strive to achieve what matters to them. We should take a cue from them and work towards goals that we ourselves have set, and not participate in someone else's race. © Instagram/soorajpancholi 10. The lines are constantly thinning, when it comes to what is beautiful and what is not. Body positivity is slowly catching up, and the 'accepted standards' of beauty and fitness are getting questioned. What are your views about it? I think it's amazing. I feel body positivity is essential because it boosts everyone's self-confidence. One doesn't need to have an eight pack to look good. A little bit of tummy or curves are beautiful in their own way, and everyone needs to understand this. A quintessential 'beach' body might look aesthetically appealing from outside, but it's not necessarily healthy if it's loaded with steroids. I think people should focus more on being actually fit, rather than focusing on looking fit. If you feel fit, you are automatically beautiful, and no other validation is required post that. -

Grooming essentials - what are the products you can't do without? Skin oils help keep your skin hydrated, and bees wax balm - a multipurpose miraculous balm that keeps dry skin and chapped lips at bay. © Rohan Shreshta 5. Shave down there or trim it? Depends on the demand ;) © Gaurav Bhatt 6. Best lighting for clicking nudes (or just for the boudoir)? Moonlight ;) © Instagram/pulkitsamrat 7. Did you ever face any insecurity about your own body? What did you do to deal with it? Never! One feels insecure only when one starts to compare with others. Every body is different. Every muscle group reacts differently to your workout and diet regime. Find an active balance in life and make more active and wise choice of food and lifestyle. © Gaurav Bhatt 8. What is the toughest challenge according to you, when it comes to obtaining and maintaining a body in its peak shape? After sometime of hard hitting and consistent workout there comes a tipping point when your body's just about go on a roller coaster change overall. Patience is what will help here!! Just when you think body's not responding to workout or being stagnant for sometime now, throw in a challenge, change your regime, shuffle things around and the body will happily move forward with you on this fitness journey. © Instagram/pulkitsamrat 9. Not everyone is content with the way their body looks. How do you suggest one should deal with it? Never compare. Never chase any sort of unattainable Instagram-ish Photoshopped physique! Every body had strong points and weak points. Recognise them and make the weak ones strong and strong ones stronger. © Gaurav Bhatt 10. The lines are constantly thinning, when it comes to what is beautiful and what is not. Body positivity is slowly catching up, and the 'accepted standards' of beauty and fitness are getting questioned. What are your views about it? I have no opinions when it comes to what is a beautiful body! I like a fit body. That's beautiful! And fit doesn't just mean that one has to have six packs etc. It's about moving your ass every single day and shunning the sedentary lifestyle. It's about making wise food choices. It's about how you feel when you done with any sort of activity, be it weight training, functional training, jog, cycle, martial arts, dance, swimming and what not! But move that ass to keep that heart pumping in a healthy fashion. -

Our 'Body Love' expert here is model, anchor, and actor Karan Wahi. © Instagram/imkaranwahi 1. One food item you should never, ever eat? There is nothing really that I do not eat . I am allergic to corn, but I eat that too when the craving is too much. © Instagram/imkaranwahi 2. The one body part you should never ignore when it comes to workout? Legs. It's the base of your frame, and stronger legs mean a better frame. You don't have to go mad with heavy weights, but one should make it a point to work on them for sure. © Instagram/imkaranwahi 3. Natural fuzz vs. waxed/trimmed body hair? I have become a fan of natural fuzz with time, though I don't mind either. © Instagram/imkaranwahi 4. Grooming essentials - what are the products you can't do without? I believe in the basics. A body wash, a perfume, and mouthwash suffice for me. © Instagram/imkaranwahi 5. Shave down there or trim it? Let's just keep that a mystery? © Instagram/imkaranwahi 6. Best lighting for clicking nudes (or just for the boudoir)? Not a fan of nudes. If you're comfortable in your own skin, lighting honestly doesn't matter. © Instagram/imkaranwahi 7. Did you ever face any insecurity about your own body? What did you do to deal with it? I have never really faced insecurities about my body. But I make sure that if I want to achieve a certain goal, I work towards it. © Instagram/imkaranwahi 8. What is the toughest challenge according to you, when it comes to obtaining and maintaining a body in its peak shape? I think obtaining a good physique is easy, but maintaining it is the hard part. No one can be in peak shape for a really long time, so you gotta know where to draw the line, and at what point u can maintain it easily. © Instagram/imkaranwahi 9. Not everyone is content with the way their body looks. How do you suggest one should deal with it? Well, body shaming is the reason people feel uncomfortable. But I feel everyone needs to have a goal and work towards it. Every body type is different and every person is different- so what works for someone, might not work for you. Get inspired, but don't copy. © Instagram/imkaranwahi 10. The lines are constantly thinning, when it comes to what is beautiful and what is not. Body positivity is slowly catching up, and the 'accepted standards' of beauty and fitness are getting questioned. What are your views about it? I feel the pressure of looking ripped or chiselled has got to do with the fad than people actually wanting to be fit. Fitness has never been about how you look, but it's about how you feel, and in the process, if you obtain a chiselled structure, that's an add-on. People are finally realizing that it's more important to be healthy than to be size 0 or have an eight-pack. It's important to understand that accepted standards have been set by people only, and what is great for one, may not be for others. -
4 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Getting On A Steroid Cycle
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
At MensXP Health, we believe that it's our responsibility to keep our readers informed about the dark side of getting extremely fit. It's very real. It happens and staying mum about it certainly won't solve the problems associated with it. With the fitness bubble bursting at the moment all over India, there's nothing more misunderstood than the usage of anabolic steroids. We understand that using steroids is a very personal decision, but using them like idiots and under pathetically poor supervision brings a bad name to the sport of bodybuilding, which is unacceptable. So. here are some questions you must ask yourself before entering the dark gates: 1) Why, WHY? Are you a competitive bodybuilder? Do you compete at a very renowned level? Does the sport of bodybuilding put bread on your table? Are you a celebrity who has millions riding on his physique? If your answer to the above questions is a straight no (95% cases), then my friend, you have ABSOLUTELY NO business using steroids. Move on. Forget about it! 2) Are You Doing It To Have A 'Revenge Body' or Social Media Validation? The number one reason for most young dudes to get into shape is to get back at their exes. It's called a revenge transformation. To get even, they jump on steroids cycles and desire a killer physique overnight, in order to make their exes jealous. Then it is the thirst for validation on social media. More likes, more followers and more steroids. If your goal is this, then I am sorry to say that your IQ is just as good as that of a flower vase. Regret will follow soon. © Pixabay 3) What's Your Training Age & Have You Exhausted Your Natural Potential? Training age is the amount of time you have spent lifting weights. How many years have you spent under the bar? If it's anywhere below 10-12 years of hardcore lifting and religious dieting, don't even think about sticking the needle. In some cases, not even 10-12 years will suffice. Moreover, if you haven't trained for over a decade consistently, you probably still haven't tapped into your full natural growth potential. Exhausting natural potential is not as easy, as it will take a lot of patience and commitment. 4) Are You Taking Them Under The Supervision Of Dumb Desi Gym Trainers? If someone is to blame for extreme cases of steroid abuse, it is these desi trainers. Almost everything they know about steroids is false. Almost everything they know about the body's physiology is false. They operate on personal anecdotes, but our hormonal system doesn't. They think that if steroids worked on them, it will work on clients too. That's NOT how it happens. NO. Just because they are big (because they are juiced to the gills), doesn't mean they would know about hormone interactions. Believe me, 99% of them certainly don't. © Pixabay If you anyway, decide to juice up, better do it under the guidance of a doctor who lifts, or an endocrinologist who has had experience dealing with such cases. Keep a strict eye on your blood tests and the changes you are noticing in your physique. Otherwise, you are DOOMED! -

Our 'Body Love' expert here is model and actor Prateek Jain, who was also Mr World India 2014. © Instagram 1. One food you should never, ever eat? I'd give it straight to you, because I myself follow that religiously - please avoid fried and sugar laden foods. It's a must. © Instagram 2. The one body part you should never ignore when it comes to workout? Legs, definitely. Indian men have this weird fixation with working only their upper body, which results in the unfortunate and unsightly condition which is called 'chicken legs'. Please train legs, folks! © Instagram 3. Natural fuzz vs. waxed/trimmed body hair? Trimmed, definitely. I want to see my definition when I'm working out, but I can't take the pain of getting waxed. Trimming works perfectly well! © Instagram 4. Grooming essentials - what are the products you can't do without? I just can't do without three things which are basic, but extremely important: my perfume, my body butter, and my sunblock. © Instagram 5. Shave down there or trim it? It really depends on my mood. I do both, from time to time, but I'd say trimming works better when you have a busy schedule like I do. © Instagram 6. Best lighting for clicking nudes (or just for the boudoir)? Why don't I just leave it for the photographer? (Winks) © Instagram 7. Did you ever face any insecurity about your own body? What did you do to deal with it? Well, I have always been into sports. The result? I was skinny AF. Plus, when you're out in the sun all day, you get tanned like you've been to the sun. So yes, pretty much these two were the biggest issues I had with my body. © Instagram 8. What is the toughest challenge according to you, when it comes to obtaining and maintaining a body in its peak shape? Diet, without a doubt. When you want a shredded physique, you need 6 hours' worth of sleep, and probably 4 hours in the gym. But the rest 14 hours, you need to be on top of your game about what you're eating. Trust me, it's tough. © Instagram 9. Not everyone is content with the way their body looks. How do you suggest one should deal with it? Work towards getting your dream physique, of course. But along with that, it's extremely important to embrace what you have. When you're comfortable with your own body, you automatically become really attractive. © Instagram 10. The lines are constantly thinning, when it comes to what is beautiful and what is not. Body positivity is slowly catching up, and the 'accepted standards' of beauty and fitness are getting questioned. What are your views about it? I like how people have started becoming aware about body positivity. The usage of social media platforms to promote messages about inclusivity is something which I really find fascinating. No matter what size or shape you have, the key is to just embrace the same and be happy, provided you're healthy and fit. That's all! -

Our 'Body Love' expert here is actor Udaybir Sandhu, who just made his Bollywood debut with Akshay Kumar in 'Gold'. © Instagram 1. One food you should never, ever eat? Eat whatever you like but in a smart way. Do not punish yourself by not eating all the time. Eat anything and everything but once in a while. Please eat whatever you like because that will make you happy, but you need to be in control. My day comprises of 90 percent healthy food and 10 percent unhealthy food because I'm already in shape and I can burn those extra calories with one or two hours of exercise. But for someone who needs to get in shape, it has to be 100 percent healthy eating everyday (maybe have a cheat meal once a week till you achieve the results). Once you get the results, you'll know how your body reacts and you can adjust your exercise routine and diet accordingly. © Instagram 2. The one body part you should never ignore when it comes to workout? Chest and Legs both. I think these two body parts define a perfect body. © Instagram 3. Natural fuzz vs. waxed/trimmed body hair? Trimmed hair. You got to wax or trim regularly if you wish to see the results and also it makes you look younger. © Instagram 4. Grooming essentials - what are the products you can't do without? I try to keep everything very natural as I hardly use any products. Natural rose water is something I always rely on. © Instagram 5. Shave down there or trim it? Definitely trim. © Instagram 6. Best lighting for clicking nudes (or just for the boudoir)? I need to try it and get back to you on that one haha! © Instagram 7. Did you ever face any insecurity about your own body? What did you do to deal with it? Well, I have always been into sports but never had a great frame like an athlete.I had to work harder than the rest to have a defined body and that included going to the gym twice a day for 2 months when I was in college. © Instagram 8. What is the toughest challenge according to you, when it comes to obtaining and maintaining a body in its peak shape? Maintaining rock hard abs for sure. That's the time I completely go on a low-carb diet - which is very hard. © Instagram 9. Not everyone is content with the way their body looks. How do you suggest one should deal with it? Stop eating unhealthy food all the time and not doing any form of exercise. You need to maintain a balance in your daily life. Start slowly and don't give up. Start with 3 days of workout a week and then increase it slowly. Also, start with 50 percent of healthy diet at least, and then shift to a 100 percent healthy diet plan.The initial phase is always the toughest. © Instagram 10. The lines are constantly thinning, when it comes to what is beautiful and what is not. Body positivity is slowly catching up, and the 'accepted standards' of beauty and fitness are getting questioned. What are your views about it? Well, it depends on what makes you feel happy and pretty. It could be eating a lot and not working out or vice versa but you also need to respect your body by keeping it healthy. I'm not saying you become good-looking by getting fit but it definitely helps you stay active and more focused in life, and that in itself makes you feel pretty and confident. -
MXP Body Love: Actor Sahil Salathia Answers 7 Intimate Questions About His Awesome Physique
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
In 'MXP Body Love', we ask people with amazing bodies the key questions about how to achieve, maintain, and basically take care of our bodies in the best way possible, while seeking their guidance on the same. While we want to know hacks on seemingly superficial topics such as how to look good without clothes, we also want to delve deep and discuss bigger issues such as body positivity, acceptance, how to deal with insecurities, and also how to move past difficulties and strive to reach the best version of oneself. Our 'Body Love' expert here is actor Sahil Salathia, who answers 7 intimate questions about his physique. © Sahil Salathia 1. One Food You Should Never, Ever Eat? To be honest, try and avoid sugar and junk as much as you can. Keep your one or two cheat meals in place every week but don't make a habit of consuming sugar and/or junk every other day. Personally, I even avoid white rice completely. I have replaced white rice in my diet with quinoa. I have even found a substitute for wheat chapatis in 'naachni roti'. These small changes in your diet go a long way and once you form a habit of them, life seems super normal, unless you are a Bengali and just can't live without rice haha! Btw, I love Bengali fish curry with white rice. That is my ultimate food fetish. Hence, I am going to marry a Bengali girl who can make me fish curry every now and then. Rest of the time, I'll cook quinoa and 'naachni roti' for the two of us. © Sahil Salathia 2. The One Body Part You Should Never Ignore When It Comes To Workout? For me, it's legs and chest. As Indian men, we love huge shoulders and that's it, we stop there. Most of us then look like some strange species that has legs made of paper and shoulders of steel. It's very important to have a body that's proportionate and not out of order when you look at it from head to toe. Plus, having strong legs automatically helps you in building a strong core. Chest happens to be my personal favourite body part to work on. I like it tight and toned and not so huge. Lean is in, and rightfully so! © Sahil Salathia © Sahil Salathia 3. Natural Fuzz Vs. Waxed/Trimmed Body Hair? I would say it depends on my mood. Sometimes, I like to look like an animal that is not really into fixing body hair. And then, that guy with that trimmed body hair is also me! I prefer trimming body hair though because it's definitely more hygienic and weather-friendly in a city like Bombay, where I currently live. Waxing is a major no for me. It hurts, man, I have been told. 4. Grooming Essentials - Top 5 Products? 1. My medicated soap called 'Acneguard' that keeps acne under check. Clear skin is a major plus for anybody, be it a man or a woman! 2. Sunscreen/sunblock. Could be any brand as long as the SPF is good enough to save that skin under the sun. 3. B Blunt volumizing leave-in spray for that perfect hairdo. © Sahil Salathia 4. Clinique Aloe shave gel for a good shave. Since it's Aloe Vera based, it really cools the skin down and helps with cuts, if at all. 5. Clinique charcoal face wash for that extra push for a relatively cleaner face and to keep all that Bombay pollution ruining the skin under control. © Sahil Salathia 5. Shave Down There Or Trim It? I like to trim it mostly. But not that I have never shaved it. So, yup, both...depends on my mood. I'm such a moody guy I tell ya! © Sahil Salathia 6. Best Lighting For Clicking Nudes (Or Just For The Boudoir)? Top light. Body looks amazing. Now, since you are taking nudes, you might as well look your naked best! *winks* © Sahil Salathia 7. Any Last Minute Tip? Just stay happy from within, man! I know it sounds preachy but it's true AF. Meditate if you can take some time out. Don't miss your workouts because they will fix your mental health also and you will obviously look sexier naked. Now, who doesn't want that? Picture Credits: Tanmay Mainkar -
Should Men Eat Soy Protein? Here's The Answer To All Your Questions
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
There's been a long standing debate about the consumption of soy protein. Is it good for men? Can men eat copious amounts of it? Can it be a part of your nutrition arsenal? The questions are many and so are the myths. Here's the most logical and scientific take on soy protein. 1) Soy protein is one such source which is neither completely safe (at higher intakes) nor harmful (at moderate intake). 2) It`s fine to add soy protein in your diet unless you become a 'soyboy' and start consuming all of your protein from it. 3) Soy protein is good for vegans but not in any way equal or superior to milk protein when it comes to building muscle. Cheap And Widely Produced © bodybuilding wizard One third of the world's soybean is produced in the US alone. Being an easily available food source with high protein content at a dirt cheap price makes it very popular among health and gym freaks (especially vegans) to meet their protein requirement. Myth 1- Soy protein causes gyno or man-boobs The myth originates from a study where a 60 year old man consumed approx 3L of soya milk everyday continuously for 6 months. Can you see the flaw here? The man was already at an age where estrogen levels are high and on top of that he was consuming excessive amounts of soy milk. A litre of soy milk contains approx 33gm of protein. The old man's intake came to be around 99gm just from soy milk. He was most probably drinking his daily quota of protein from soy. As I said in the start of the article, consume no more than 1/3 of your total protein intake from soy and you will have no issues. Myth 2- Soy can affect fertility or decrease sperm count Three clinical studies conducted show that soy has no effect on sperm concentration or quality. As a matter of fact, in one case, daily iso-flavone (found in soy) supplementation for 6 months resulted in normalization of sperm quality and quantity in the male partner of an infertile couple. © Thinkstock Images Myth 3- Soy protein is better than whey protein This is usually nothing more than a vain attempt by soy manufacturers to sell their range of products. Be it soy milk, tofu or soy protein, they are good in general but when compared to milk proteins like cheese, cow milk and whey, soy simply gets beat down. Biological value (measure of proportion of protein absorbed from a food) of whey is much higher than that of soy. Not only B.V, but the Branched chain amino acid (BCAAs) content of whey protein is higher than that of soy protein. Soy protein is fine no doubt, but calling it better than whey or milk protein is simply stupid. Myth 4- Eating Soy products reduces testosterone Answer to this is not simple, i.e. not black and white. Without causing any confusion among readers citing different studies with different outcomes, I can tell you that if you are a male and want to consume soy long term, as long as you are not exceeding more than 1/3 of your total protein from soy products, you will be fine. So it`s better not to go crazy on soy and add other protein sources in daily diet as well. I will conclude this article by saying while soy can be great for a vegans or vegetarians, meat eaters can also consume it without having to worry about any downsides. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5188409/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19524224 Daman Singh is an internationally certified sports Nutritionist and an athlete competes in Strongman and powerlifting without the aid of Anabolics .He also runs a YouTube channel named :- SIKHSPACK and you can follow him on Instagram and trains Drug free population . -

ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
When they said your body is your temple, they actually referred to a temple with good maintenance, not an ancient structure that will fall apart and is only dependent on your prayers. You need to take care of your body and do your best to make it reach its best version, because honestly, that is the only thing you really own, and the only thing money can't buy you. A well-built body, and the efforts you have put in to achieve that, legit count as your best investment. In MXP Body Love, we will ask people with amazing bodies the key questions, and seek their guidance on the same. Our Body Love expert here, is actor Tushar Khanna, who answers 7 questions on how to look good without clothes. © Instagram © Tushar Khanna 1. One Food You Should Never, Ever Eat? For me, it has got to be sugar. Sugar is one of the most dangerous food items because it's the hardest to get rid of from your diet, and causes the most damage. I have read that getting rid of a sugar addiction is as hard as quitting drugs, because they impact the same part of your brain. I try avoiding it as much as I can, but I give in a little bit on my cheat days. A man's gotta survive! © Instagram © Instagram 2. The One Body Part You Should Never Ignore When It Comes To Workout? Legs. When it comes to Indian gyms, I have noticed most people are just obsessed with their upper bodies, mainly chest and arms, and end up ignoring their lower body. The result? A weak core, and a weird, misshapen body. Chicken legs are not sexy, homies! Also, your upper body strength increases when your legs are equally strong. © Instagram 3. Natural Fuzz vs. Waxed/Trimmed Body Hair? I am more of a natural or neatly trimmed person. I anyway don't have an excessive growth, plus waxing is just not my thing. I don't think I can ever get waxing done, because it hurts even while thinking about it, haha! © Tushar Khanna © Instagram 4. Grooming Essentials - What Are The Products You Can't Do Without? Face wash, sun block and a moisturiser. I also think it's extremely important to scrub once a week, to get rid of dead skin. I only use products by Kiehl's, as they suit my skin type. © Instagram 5. Shave Down There Or Trim It? Trim, always. © Tushar Khanna 6. Best Lighting For Clicking Nudes (Or Just For The Boudoir)? If you're in good shape, the lighting doesn't matter! *winks* © Instagram 7. Any Last-Minute Tip? If you ask me, I'd just say that confidence is the key to looking good, with or without clothes. Just be proud of who you are, and be confident, and you'll automatically look good.
