Rajkummar Rao praised Huma Qureshi’s performance in Maharani Season 4 and said he’s looking forward to Delhi Crime Season 3, where Huma joins as Badi Didi.

Huma Qureshi’s Maharani Season 4 has been getting love from fans and critics since its release. The show is known for its intense storytelling and political drama. The fourth season follows Rani Bharti, played by Huma, as she steps down as Bihar’s Chief Minister and moves to Delhi to take on the Prime Minister, played by Vipin Sharma. The story picks up after she hands over her post to her daughter, Roshni. It delves into power, betrayal, and political intrigue at the national level.

Huma’s performance has been winning hearts, including that of her friend and actor Rajkummar Rao. On November 9, he shared the trailer of Maharani 4 on Instagram and praised Huma’s work. He wrote, “Maharani is already doing phenomenally well and now we have #DelhiCrime coming. @iamhumaq you are killing it with all the amazing work. So proud of you Dost. Upwards and Onwards.”

Huma replied by resharing his story, writing, “Thank you Raju… means so much my talented friend,” showing their close bond and mutual respect.

Experts weigh in on the hidden health impact of Delhi air pollution, beyond lungs: Skin, hair, bones, and even fertility

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Every winter, as a dense grey haze blankets Delhi, the familiar conversations around pollution return. But the crisis today goes far beyond coughing fits and watery eyes – it’s silently disrupting deeper aspects of health, from hormonal balance and fertility to skin, hair, and even bone strength. Doctors across specialities are reporting a steady surge in pollution-related ailments among Delhiites.

Experts advise reducing exposure and wearing masks as temporary solutions to protect yourself from pollution.(Hindustan Times)

HT Lifestyle spoke to three specialists for their insights on how Delhi’s toxic air is taking a toll not just on the lungs but also on the skin, hair, fertility, and bone health. The experts include Dr Karuna Malhotra – founder, cosmetologist, and aesthetic physician at Cosmetic Skin and Homeo Clinic, Rajouri Garden; Dr Shobha Gupta – medical director and IVF expert at Mother’s Lap IVF Centre, Pitampura; and Dr Akhilesh Rathi – director of joint replacement, orthopaedics, and sports injury at Sri Action Balaji Hospital, Paschim Vihar, and founder of Rathi Orthopaedic and Spine Clinic, Dwarka.

Skin and hair

As the body’s outermost barrier and first line of defence, the skin and hair bear the brunt of toxic air exposure – taking some of the harshest hits from Delhi’s rising pollution levels. Dr Malhotra explains, “Air pollution in Delhi is a cocktail of particulate matter, industrial chemicals, and toxins. These particles are so tiny that they penetrate the skin barrier, triggering inflammation, pigmentation, dullness, early wrinkles, and stubborn acne flare-ups.”

Pollution particles trigger the production of free radicals that break down collagen, causing the skin to age faster. The cosmetologist also highlights that dermatology clinics across the city are reporting a surge in cases of contact dermatitis and eczema during peak pollution months.

Hair is just as vulnerable – pollutants settle on the scalp, clog follicles, weaken the roots, and interfere with the natural hair growth cycle. Dr Malhotra points out, “Over the past few years, I’ve seen a sharp rise in brittle hair, excessive hair fall, and itchy, flaky scalp conditions every time pollution peaks.” She stresses the need for double cleansing and antioxidant-rich skincare routines during this season.

Pregnant women and fertility

A growing yet often overlooked consequence of air pollution is its harmful impact on reproductive health – affecting fertility, hormonal balance, and even pregnancy outcomes. According to Dr Gupta, “Long-term exposure to toxic air increases oxidative stress in the body. This can disturb hormonal function in women, reduce egg quality, and in pregnant women, raise the risk of complications such as low-birth-weight babies and preterm deliveries.”

The gynaecologist explains that microscopic pollutants can enter the bloodstream and even cross the placental barrier. Expecting mothers with pre-existing respiratory conditions often experience heightened breathlessness, fatigue, and disrupted sleep during periods of severe pollution.

Men aren’t spared either – they are affected equally. Prolonged exposure to air pollution can drastically plummet sperm count and motility. Dr Gupta notes, “Among couples trying to conceive, we are increasingly seeing pollution-linked decreases in sperm health. This is now an emerging factor in infertility, especially in urban settings like Delhi.”

Bone health

While the effects of pollution on the skin and lungs are well recognised, its impact on bone health remains surprisingly underreported. According to Dr Rathi, “Air pollution interferes with how the body processes calcium and Vitamin D. Because people avoid going outdoors and sunlight is blocked by smog, Vitamin D deficiency becomes almost universal in winters.”

The orthopaedician points out that vitamin D deficiency weakens bones, raises the risk of fractures, and exacerbates conditions like osteoporosis. Moreover, pollutants can indirectly trigger inflammation in the body, intensifying joint pain – particularly among older adults.

Dr Rathi adds, “Many patients complain of stiffness, knee pain, and chronic fatigue during the pollution season. These are not just age-related changes; pollution is a key contributing factor.”

A call for awareness and collective action

Dr Malhotra notes, “Pollution may be external, but its impact is deeply internal. Awareness and proactive care can prevent long-term damage.” While masks, air purifiers, and lifestyle tweaks can provide short-term relief, experts emphasise that meaningful change requires systemic, long-term solutions. Until then, individuals must take proactive steps to safeguard their health. Doctors recommend adopting antioxidant-rich diets, using air purifiers indoors, following regular detoxifying skincare routines, supplementing with vitamin D and omega-3s, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak smog hours.

Delhi’s pollution crisis has evolved from an environmental concern into a full-blown public health emergency. Toxic air is silently damaging everything from skin and hair to hormonal balance, fertility, and bone strength. What makes it even more alarming is its invisibility – few connect everyday issues like fatigue, joint pain, or hair fall to pollution. As the city battles its annual smog surge, experts urge citizens to protect themselves while pushing for systemic change – because clean air isn’t a privilege, it’s a fundamental right.

Emraan Hashmi would give up on his diet for this succulent Delhi staple — recipe inside

by jummy84
written by jummy84

The true origins of the butter chicken may be contested enough to turn into a legal slip knot (literally). But for all contemporary practical purposes, the silken, succulent menu favourite has Delhi written all over it, much of the thanks for this going to the untouchable legacies of city hotspots like Gulati, Havemore and Moti Mahal to name a few.

Emraan Hashmi would ghost his diet for Delhi’s butter chicken — Chef Sanjeev Kapoor’s recipe (Photos: Instagram, Gulati)

Emraan Hashmi, who was recently in the capital to promote his upcoming film, Haq, also starring Yami Gautam, spilled a little secret. During the audience questions round for Stars In The City with Sonal Kalra, he admitted Delhi’s butter chicken to very much be the dish he’d cheat on his strict diet for.

If you’re looking to give him company in spirit, follow the recipe below.

Butter chicken

Ingredients: Boneless chicken (cut into 1/5 inch pieces) – 400gms, lemon juice – 1tbsp, Kashmiri red chilli powder – 1tsp, salt to taste, butter – 2tbsps; for the marinade — yoghurt 1/2 cup, ginger paste – 2tsps, garlic paste – 2tsps, Kashmiri red chilli powder – 1/2tsp, garam masala powder – 1/2tsp, salt to taste, mustard oil – 2tsps; for the makhni gravy — butter – 2tbps, green cardamoms – 2, cloves – 2, black peppercorns – 2 to 3, cinnamon – 1 inch, ginger paste – 1tsp, garlic paste – 1tsp, tomato puree – 1/2 cup, red chilli powder – 1/2tsp, salt to taste, sugar/honey – 2tbsps, kasoori methi – 1/2tsp, fresh cream – 1/2 cup

Method: Massage the chicken pieces with the lemon juice, chilli powder and salt and refrigerate for half an hour. Hang the curd in a muslin cloth for 10 to 15 minutes as you mix all the ingredients for the marinade. Massage this onto the chicken pieces and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours. Once the meat is done marinating, pre-heat the oven to 200C and pop the pieces onto skewers. Cook this for 10 to 12 minutes followed by a generous basting of butter. Cook for 2 more minutes and take off heat.

For the makhni gravy, heat generous amounts of butter in a non-stick pan. Add all the spices and cook for 2 minutes; then go in with the ginger and garlic pastes and cook for 2 more minutes. Now add the tomato puree, red chilli powder, salt and half a cup of water. Bring this to a boil then drop the heat to a simmer for 10 minutes. Add the sugar or honey with the kasoori methi next, followed by the cooked chicken. Simmer for 5 more minutes then go in with the fresh cream in a generous swirl.

Serve piping hot with stretchy naan.

(recipe from Chef Sanjeev Kapoor)

So who’s still following through on their diet?
