Vartika Singh is currently enjoying the appreciation coming her way after the success of her latest film HAQ, starring Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam. The actress, who has been steadily building her place in the industry, believes this project has opened new doors and brought her closer to her long-term dreams. While the spotlight is shining brighter on her now, Vartika is already thinking ahead about the kind of roles and collaborations she wants next.

Vartika Singh Wish To Work With Ranbir Kapoor

One of her biggest wishes is to work with superstar Ranbir Kapoor. Expressing admiration for his craft, Vartika shared what makes him stand out in her eyes. She said to Bollywood Bubble, “There are many, but I’d love to work with Ranbir Kapoor. He has this ability to make a scene feel alive even in the simplest moments. I like actors who make you react honestly instead of ‘performing.’ He definitely does that.”

Known for her grounded personality and strong screen presence, Vartika believes that acting is about connection and honesty rather than just delivering lines. She hopes to explore more layered characters in future roles that challenge her and help her grow as an artist.

With HAQ now gaining attention from both audiences and critics, the actress feels grateful but also motivated to push harder. She credits the learning experience of working with experienced co-stars and says it has shaped her approach toward her craft.

As her journey continues, Vartika is focused on choosing meaningful work and collaborating with storytellers and actors who inspire her. And if things go her way, a Vartika Singh and Ranbir Kapoor pairing might just be something fans get to witness in the future.

Excess salt negatively impacts heart health. Typically, salt is associated with high blood pressure risks, but the dangers also extend to cardiovascular health. Dr Sameer Pagad, director of intervention cardiology at Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai, shared with HT Lifestyle in an interview that with excessive sodium or salt intake, there’s a higher risk of developing heart diseases.

The cardiologist pointed out that a high-sodium diet targets the heart’s muscle function, disturbing the ability to pump blood. How it happens, he explained, “Sodium is found to thicken the heart walls, causing a condition known as left ventricular hypertrophy. As the condition progresses, the heart finds it difficult to pump blood efficiently. The sodium-rich diet also alters the calcium levels in the heart cells, affecting their ability to contract and relax, dramatically increasing the chances of heart failure.”

Now that you are aware of how high salt intake strains your heart, to the extent of affecting the heart’s main function, let’s see how you can reverse the ill effects of a sodium-rich diet if you have been on one for some time.

Dr Sameer Pagad recommended eating potassium-rich foods to reverse sodium’s effects. He said, “Eat potassium-rich foods, including vegetables such as spinach, amaranth, fenugreek, bottle gourd, pumpkin, etc. Also consume fruits like banana, guava, oranges or mosambi, pomegranate and papaya. Include pulses like moong, masoor, chana, and rajma in your diet.”

Along with this, for hydration, he suggested adding a glass of tender coconut water to your routine.

Now what about non-vegetarians? For them, the cardiologist recommended eating foods that contain Omega-3 fatty acids. Elaborating more about the sources, “Non-vegetarians should consume fish rich in omega-3 fats, which are considered to be anti-arrhythmic and cardioprotective. One to two meals a week can be inclusive of sardines, bangda, Indian salmon or raavas.”

All in all, the cardiologist advised to prioritise naturally available foods over supplements, and suggested personal consultation with a cardiologist or a dietician before changing or adding anything to your diet.

What is the safe limit for salt intake?

Even if you decide to add salt to your food for the purpose of taste, make sure it is within the safe limit. According to Dr Sameer Pagad, reducing even 1g of salt intake in your diet can substantially improve the blood pressure levels. He added, “If you want to keep your heart healthy, limit your sodium intake to approximately 2 g per day and reduce the chances of developing hypertension, arrhythmias, coronary events, stroke or heart failure.”

Maintaining low-salt intake along with eating potassium-rich foods helps to protect your cardiovascular health in the long run.
