Alia Bhatt’s nutritionist warns this sweet treat, often considered healthy, is nothing but sugar water

Fruits should be an essential part of your daily diet as they are packed with essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and fibre. It is always recommended to eat whole fruits, especially those that are in season. However, people mostly substitute it with fruit juices, thinking they are getting the same essential nutrients.

This is actually not the case. Fruit juices, especially the packaged ones available in markets, are nothing but sugary water, according to Dr Siddhant Bhargava, celebrity nutritionist and doctor known for guiding celebrities like Alia Bhatt, Ananya Panday, and Sara Ali Khan.

In a March 16 Instagram video, Dr Bhargava highlighted why fruit juices are not good for your health; rather, they only add sugar to your body.

Why are fruit juices bad for your health?

Stressing that fruit juices are poisoning us, the nutritionist said, “I have been saying the same thing over and over again. Saying it once more with a more entertaining video. Please remember FRUITS are healthy, but without their fibre, vitamins, and minerals, they are nothing but sugar water.”

According to the nutritionist, the notion that fruit juices are healthy is just a myth, as they are nothing but coloured, sugary water. But then how are whole fruits healthy, but fruit juices aren’t?

The nutritionist explained that whole fruits contain vitamins and minerals you won’t find anywhere else. “But they also contain a lot of sugar. And none of the sugar in fruits is healthy, which is why there is so much fibre in the fruits you consume,” he added.

How does the fibre in whole fruits help?

The nutritionist noted that the fibre in fruits prevents the sugar in your fruits from being absorbed quickly into your bloodstream, preventing insulin spikes, and keeping the fruit healthy.

“But when the juice is extracted, the fibre gets separated. Moreover, due to the increased heat during the juicing process, vitamins and minerals also get lost, leaving only the sugary water behind, which is causing a loot in the market in the name of being healthy. So, next time you feel like drinking juice, eat fruits instead of juice,” he warned.

PVR’s Aamer Bijli says animated films are working at box office as they are no longer considered ‘kids’ cartoons’

It has been a great year for animation in India. Animated features have broken the glass ceiling when it comes to box office collections in the country. International studios and franchises are tailoring their films to the country in some cases. This boom has largely been the result of a shift in how audiences perceive animated storytelling, believes PVR’s Aamer Bijli.

PVR’s Aamer Bijli talks about the state of animation in India ahead of the release of Shin Chan: Spicy Kasukabe Dancers.

In conversation with Hindustan Times, Aamer touches upon the success of some animated films at the box office, and also how the upcoming Shin Chan film can take it forward.

Why animation is suddenly working in India

Aamer Bijli, Lead Specialist – Innovation, Film Marketing, and Digital Programming at PVR INOX, has been an anime fan for years now. Hence, he is quick to praise the box office success of Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. The anime has minted ₹65 crore in India. The previous record for an anime in the country was ₹9 crore.

Bijli says, “I think animation has been synonymous in India, especially with cartoons, for a very long time, which has really aided in limiting its acceptance, unfortunately. I was a massive fan of Pokémon, Beyblade, and Dragon Ball growing up. What I have realised is that the initial nostalgia really helps now. There are a lot of parents who are doubling down on that nostalgia by making their children watch all of these things for the first time. I think it’s only creating a newer and larger audience.”

But it’s not just anime that has succeeded in India recently. Mythological epic Mahavatar Narsimha exceeded all expectations by grossing over ₹300 crore worldwide, 10 times as much as any Indian animated film had made prior to that. Talking about its success, Bijli adds, “Mahavatar Narima relied on our roots. It embedded mythology with philosophical insights, and it also resonated with the collective identity of a story that we’re already familiar with. All of this drew the audiences to the cinemas.”

The Shin Chan movie’s India setting

In this climate, the Japanese animated film, Shin Chan: Spicy Kasukabe Dancers, is releasing in India. Shin Chan already enjoys a sizable fan base in India. And on top of that, this film sees the beloved character travel to India. Is the Indian setting a nod to the country’s growing popularity as a market for animation? “I’ve been asked that question a lot,” says Bijli, adding, “I feel that would be an honour if they thought to set something in India consciously. It sure seems like it from the trailer that it is a show specifically done for India. I think it also makes sense considering Shin Chan is one of India’s most-watched international animated IPs, and has an extreme nostalgia-driven loyalty amongst millennials and young adults. So I wouldn’t be surprised.”

You know the different markets I think different horses for different courses right there are a lot of films that do extremely well in the US that don’t translate as well in India and and you know we face it all the time in our distribution business where we bet on films certain you know that that we believe will perform really really well uh in the Indian market due to the trickle down effect from Hollywood but unfortunately that’s not always the case. So I just think that the consumer base is so different sometimes uh that um it doesn’t always translate directly.

Shin Chan: Spicy Kasukabe Dancers is being presented in India by PVR INOX Pictures in association with Japan’s TV Asahi. The film releases in India this Friday, September 26.

Why Is ‘The Bear’ Considered a Comedy? Its Emmys Category Explained – Hollywood Life

The Bear has invited countless viewers into the world of running a restaurant. For better or worse, each character of the show goes through their own emotional rides in their personal and work lives. So, why would such a dramatic series be considered a comedy at the Emmy Awards and other awards shows?

Hollywood Life breaks down the reason behind The Bear’s category, below.

Why Is ‘The Bear’ Considered a Comedy?

The show encompasses a wide variety of categories, as it’s widely considered to be a psychological comedy-drama. However, the show focuses on dark humor. Even with difficult topics such as mental health, breakups, abusive bosses, and more dramatic situations, The Bear implements enough dark humor to elicit some uncomfortable laughs out of its audience.

Take the season 1 finale, for example. Viewers have wondered how on earth that wild — and aggressive — scene could be considered funny. Ayo Edebiri‘s Sydney stabs Ebon Moss-Bachrach‘s Richie with a kitchen knife, and they get into a tense altercation. Meanwhile, Jeremy Allen White‘s Carmy screams over the cacophony of kitchen chaos while struggling to hold down the fort. Then, to make matters worse, Sydney quits.

By seasons 2 and 3, viewers have more backstories to unpack, from Carmy’s trauma to Sydney’s anxiety. However, the show manages to inject enough sarcasm, wit and irony to make it funny.

After fans watched Carmy unknowingly break his girlfriend Claire’s heart, the aftermath still has its humorous moments. Toward the end of season 3, Carmy is asked whether or not he thinks about Claire anymore, to which he nonchalantly responds that he thinks of her every day.

Come season 4 is even more drama! Between Carmy and Claire’s argument to his mother’s admission of abuse, viewers learned how much pain he’s been living with.

Who Is in ‘The Bear’ Cast?

Apart from Ayo, Jeremy and Ebon, the rest of The Bear cast includes Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliot, Matty Matheson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Edwin Lee Gibson, Oliver Platt. Molly Gordon and several others.
