When you think of the fittest actors in Bollywood, Akshay Kumar would definitely be on that list. Time and again, the superstar has proved that he takes his fitness way too seriously and has proved to be an inspiration for not just his fans, but for other celebrities too.

For him, it has never been about having the biggest biceps or a six pack at all times. It’s all about being disciplined and consistent with his workout routine and diet and not taking shortcuts to build a “hot” body for the short run.

And once again, the Khiladi of Bollywood is giving us major goals with his lean and fit bod.

While on a vacation with wife, Twinkle Khanna, Akshay posted a picture with his “good boy”, soaking up the South African sun and we are definitely awestruck.

9. But some couldn’t help but notice that he does look leaner than usual.

Lost some weight? Akshay is looking weirdly thin dunno why🤔 or is it jus camera angle

— Adawiyah Khan (@spazy_belle) December 28, 2017

ittna weight lose 😓 https://t.co/JycOKnLpMG

— Rishabh Tomar (@Stylish_Khiladi) December 28, 2017

Given that Akshay is a health freak, we are pretty sure he is taking good care of himself and he looking thinner is just because of a camera angle. Nevertheless, we definitely want to see more pictures of him and seeing that cute dog is just the icing on top of the cake.

It has been over 25 years since the release of Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, but Ayesha Jhulka has some unforgettable memories related to the film, for which she gave her best efforts and blood — literally

It has been over 25 years since the release of Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, but Ayesha Jhulka has some unforgettable memories related to the film, for which she gave her best efforts and blood — literally. In an interview with IANS, Ayesha recalled how she met with an unfortunate accident while shooting for the climax of the Mansoor Khan directorial, which also featured Aamir Khan, Deepak Tijori and Deven Bhojani.

Ayesha, 45, said she was shooting in a stadium when a nail injured her forehead. “It was bleeding a lot and the shooting was stopped. Everyone came running and Aamir was screaming and shouting at the spot boys to get ice. He put a big block of ice on the wound and I could only see his expressions and people around,” Ayesha said.

Later, she was taken to a hospital and got stitches on her forehead.

“I got a surgery done and was asked to take rest for three days, otherwise the blood would flow through my nose to my throat if I kept my head straight,” she said. Because of her injury, Ayesha heard people talking about how there would be a “big problem” if she wouldn’t be able to shoot. However, Ayesha shot for the scene with a red cap to hide her stitches.

“I told Mansoor that, ‘Don’t worry, I will shoot just give me something to cover these stitches’. So they gave me a red cap. I used to keep my head up just before the shoot and give expressions. Everyone used to tease me that, ‘You have given blood for Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar’.”

The movie, which clocked 25 years since its release in May this year, will be aired on &pictures on January 1.

You seem to have an online store and have big plans. You got a snazzy online store, you have started promoting it and business is coming in. Times are good. Congratulations!

By the way, who is maintaining your website? Anyone?

After hosting an online store, it is important to maintain it. Updating different segments on the store is an effective way of making your site look new to shoppers. Sites that are poorly maintained look outdated and untidy to customers, and therefore reduce their selling potential. Online store maintenance has to be part of your ecommerce strategy yet many merchants ignore it – quote often to the detriment of their business.

Benefits of Online Store Maintenance:

Online Store Maintenance

Site Security:

Regular updates of themes and plugins fight security attacks from hackers, scammers, viruses and many other nefarious entities. When you do routine maintenance of your store, you will be aware of possible threats and dangers, and take preventative measures beforehand.

A single breach can cause theft of confidential customer data, that in turn creates legal issues and also customers lose confidence in the business.

SEO maintenance:

Store maintenance should also include periodic SEO revitalization. Maintaining SEO through regular updates is necessary to maintain your ranking in search engines. Through regular maintenance, research new keywords and add them to your search term lists to improve internet accessibility. And don’t forget to adjust your SEO for voice based searches.

Regular maintenance should also include your social media sites, their integration with the website and making sure current content is posted regularly on the social properties of the company.

Increased Site Functionalities and User Friendliness:

Online shoppers are taking a risk when they go shopping and if for any reason they don’t feel secure, or they don’t see the information that they need or the shopping cart is too complicated, they abandon the site and go elsewhere. Abandoned shopping carts is a big issue for online merchants and one way of minimizing abandoned carts is to constantly monitor your online store and ensure that everything is working.

Some small business owners wonder why they need to maintain their store when it was working just fine 6 months ago. The reason is that the underlying software changes, the plugins change, the operating system changes and there are new security threats. If you don’t update regularly, soon you will have some sections of the webstore that no longer function. You may not know and be losing sales.

Upload Products to Marketplaces like Walmart, Amazon, Ebay, Google Shopping etc:

The more people see your products, the better your chances of making a sale. That is why savvy merchants list their products on marketplaces like Walmart, Amazon, Ebay, Google Shopping etc. However; unless you just have a handful of products, it becomes very difficult to manage and synchronize inventory across all these marketplaces. If you don’t, you may end up cancelling orders and that lowers your ratings. A good ecommerce specialist will help you use services like UploadMyProducts.com to upload inventory in bulk and synchronize across multiple marketplaces.

Room To Add New Opportunities:

You should have an ongoing relationship with a webmaster so you can add new functions and features as new opportunities arise. When you have an ongoing relationship, the web master has a vested interest in the company’s success and will be more than eager to explore new opportunities.

Who can help you with online Store Maintenance?

We can. At interloperInc.com, we specialize in small business online stores and can help you with routine maintenance, enhancements, SEO and CRM. Let’s talk.

Katrina Kaif has opted out of the Shahid Kapoor-starrer Batti Gul Meter Chalu due to paucity of time to prep for the role due to her choc a bloc schedule

Katrina Kaif has opted out of the Shahid Kapoor-starrer Batti Gul Meter Chalu due to paucity of time to prep for the role. Blame it on her busy schedule as she is shooting back-to-back for Aanand L Rai’s untitled next with Shah Rukh Khan and Vijay Krishna Acharya’s Thugs Of Hindostan, which stars Aamir Khan.

Katrina Kaif

Says a source from the creative team, “The director [Shree Narayan Singh] had given her a script narration. She loved the story and asked her team to work out further details.”

As Kapoor plays the protagonist — a lawyer — the makers were looking for a top A-list female actor opposite him. The source adds. “She has an equally strong role as she plays his friend, philosopher and guide. Kaif seemed to fit the bill. Also, this was the first time Shahid and she would be working together.” But things appeared to fall apart after the narration.

The source continues, “It’s a challenging role and the character mouths dialogues in a particular style as the film is set in Uttarakhand. Kaif would not just have to look the desi character, but also learn the diction, which would be tough given the time constraints, hence she thought it would be better to say no right at the outset. She was keen on being part of the project, but there was no way she could juggle the dates. She tried to work out the schedule, but it looked tough to fit in the prep along with the shooting of the two films.”

Singh, who is on a recce in Uttarakhand, remained unavalibale for comment. Producer Prernaa Arora says, “We approached Katrina as she was our first choice. She loved the subject and the character. We were ready to work together, but there was a clash of dates. There were workshops she couldn’t attend as she’s shooting continuously for Aanand L Rai’s film and Thugs Of Hindostan till March next year.”

Arora further adds, “Batti Gul Meter Chalu needs to be shot in cold climes on outdoor locations in January and February. The story demands a winter backdrop. As Katrina will not be free till March, we couldn’t wait for Katrina.”

There is no denying that 2017 was primarily owned by superheroes, Jedis, mystical creatures and clowns who love to feast on kids. But, no matter how successful they were; it was ‘action’ that turned out to the ultimate winner, ruling our hearts like no one else. At least, the recently released Forbes list of top grossing actors proves the same, after actor Vin Diesel grabbed the top spot.

Vin Diesel defeated his ‘Fast and Furious’ co-star Dwayne Johnson aka ‘The Rock’, and ‘Wonder Woman’ Gal Gadot to become this year’s top grossing actor. According to Forbes, Diesel’s ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage’ and ‘The Fate of the Furious’ collectively raked in $1.6 billion, thanks to the gigantic success of the eighth installment of ‘Fast and Furious’.

Johnson’s movies ‘Baywatch’, ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ and ‘The Fate of the Furious’, on the other hand made $1.5 billion so far. It seems, even a good star cast couldn’t help save ‘Baywatch’ or make Johnson inch closer to beating Diesel. 

As ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ has hit the theatres recently, it will continue adding to his total, but for this year he has lost the crown to Diesel. Honestly, had his voiceovers from ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’ as the adorable Groot been included in the picture, Diesel would have easily crossed $2 billion.

Surprisingly (or maybe not), the third spot was taken by none other than ‘Wonder Woman’ actress Gal Gadot whose films, which also includes ‘Justice League’, made $1.4 billion globally. Her debut as Diana, the Amazonian princess and an unconquerable warrior, was undoubtedly the biggest blockbuster of summer. In fact, ‘Wonder Woman’ also became the highest grossing live-action movie ever directed by a woman (take a bow Patty Jenkins). Furthermore, her performance in ‘Justice League’ too added millions to the already huge figure that Gadot was already taking home.

Apart from Diesel, Johnson and Gadot, the list also includes Emma Watson, who shed her Hermione avatar to become Belle in this year’s smashing hit ‘Beauty And The Beast’ and grabbed the fourth spot with $1.3 billion. 

The list also includes, Johnny Depp ($1.1 billion), Daisy Ridley ($1.08 billion), Tom Holland ($888 million), Chris Pratt ($864 million), Chris Hemsworth ($845 million) and John Boyega ($815 million).
