IIFAs primer: ‘TIFF on steroids’

This weekend, the International Indian Film Academy blows into Toronto with celebrities, film premieres and concerts, culminating with the Floriana IIFA Awards, which almost 700 million people around the world will tune in to watch.

“This is an award show that travels to different cities every year. It’s a wonderful ambassador, spreading the message of Bollywood wherever it goes,” says acclaimed Indian actor Kabir Bedi, who hosted the IIFA awards in South Africa and is in Toronto taking part in festivities. “The brand of Bollywood is something that has become very big in the last 10 years … and that market is growing by the year.”

With rabid fans expected to converge along the “green” carpets and events happening all over the Greater Toronto Area, one organizer jokingly called it “TIFF on steroids.” The Post’s Melissa Leong takes a look at the big things to come:


The Big Stars

Bollywood’s biggest names will be in Toronto to walk the green carpet, host fashion shows, speak at forums, accept awards and, of course, sing and dance. Shah Rukh Khan, one of Bollywood’s highest-paid stars, will perform the finale number at the awards show June 25 where he is nominated for best actor. Actresses Dia Mirza and Mallika Sherawat are also among the many stars slated to take the stage at the Rogers Centre Saturday.

On Friday, actor, producer and director Karan Johar, whose film My Name is Khan is nominated for best film at the awards, and actress Anushka Sharma, who is nominated in the best actress category, will co-host the IIFA Rocks charity event at Toronto’s Ricoh Coliseum.

Also expected at events around the city are former Ford supermodel and actress Bipasha Basu, and winner of the 2007 Celebrity Big Brother UK Shilpa Shetty. Anil Kapoor, who played the smarmy game show host in the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire and is a nominee for best comic role in No Problem, as well as the famed Deol siblings (Bobby, Esha and Sunny), will also take part in festivities.


The Big Awards

About 22,000 people will watch India’s biggest media event, the Floriana IIFA Awards, live at the Rogers Centre Saturday evening. There will be glitzy song and dance numbers and, of course, a recognition of the best in film.

Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, a story about two gangsters surviving in Bombay in the 1980s, and Dabangg, a film about a mischievous and corrupt cop, are tied for the most nominations with 11 nods, including best film, director and actor.

My Name is Khan, which was highly popular overseas, is nominated in seven categories. It tells the story of an Indian family living in American during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorism attacks. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has been recognized for his lead role as the Muslim patriarch who suffers from Asperger’s syndrome. Rounding out the contenders for best film are Band Baaja Baaraat, a rom-com about feuding wedding planners and Raajneeti, a political thriller.

For best actor, Khan faces off against Salman Khan in Dabangg, Ajay Devgan in Once Upon a Time in Mumbai, Ranbir Kapoor in Raajneeti and Hrithik Roshan in Guzaarish. Roshan’s co-star, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, often cited as the most beautiful woman in the world and recipient of IIFA’s female star of the decade award in 2009, is nominated for best female actress in a lead role.

Bollywood Stars and normal people going on crash diets


 


When 29-year-old Shikha Arora went on an “all fruit” diet to lose weight before her wedding, she managed to lose 10 kg in a record one-and-a-half months but she had to deal with low BP and severe headache on her D-Day.

She is not the only one. Every day people are going on crash diets to meet immediate draconian goals, but experts warn it is equivalent to abusing your body.

“This is a very common problem. Miracles don’t happen in a day. One has to be persistent and dedicated in losing weight. But people don’t want to work hard, they just want shortcuts. Unfortunately, there is no shortcut to weight loss. You end up abusing your body,” Aashu, a gym trainer, told IANS.

“Most of the girls who come to me want to fit into their wedding lehenga. Then there are those who have been warned by doctors that they have to lose weight if they want to live long,” said Aashu.

Their shortcut to success is answered in yo-yo diet, described as an extreme form of losing weight. It has a cyclical pattern of weight loss and gain and often seen as a harmful weight-losing technique.

Then there is all protein diet or liquid diet option – it helps to lose weight quickly, but leaves its side effects too.

“There is no other way to lose weight so quickly than by going on crash dieting because you don’t eat anything till you achieve the result. But in a short span of time you gain weight again because you have been depriving yourself of calories and food,” Ritika Samaddar, chief dietician at Max Healthcare Samaddar, told IANS.

Movie stars play an important role in common people’s lives and the tale of gaining and losing weight to fit into the skin of characters is prevalent in Bollywood and Hollywood.

Actor Christian Bale lost 28 kg in three months to enact the role of Trevor Reznick, a paranoid insomniac in “The Machinist”, and right after that he had to bulk up for “The Dark Knight”, for which he reportedly gained 100 pounds (45 kg) in over six weeks.

Similarly Abhishek Bachchan had gained 11 kg for “Guru” and Vinay Pathak had also piled on kilos for “Bheja Fry 2″.

But it doesn’t do any good to the body, says Althea Shah, VP operations and fitness expert at Gold’s gym, Mumbai.

“Quick gaining and losing causes havoc with the metabolism. The body systems get adjusted to food patterns and takes some time to change from a set routine. The digestion process gets affected if the body is put on crash diets or binge eating,” Shah told IANS.

According to studies, a liquid diet high on protein may lead to headaches, fatigue and nausea. Protein-based liquid diet can also cause constipation because it lacks fibre; it can also cause loss of lean muscle mass and a decrease in metabolism.

Hrithik Roshan, who had piled on 15 kilos to play a paraplegic in “Guzaarish” and binged on all sorts of junk food, said: “I didn’t workout for six-seven months. After 15 years, I found out the taste of batata vada and samosas. I binged like anything. But when I was on this toxic programme, health took a very bad shape.”

When 53-year-old Arjun Jaivir realised he was suffering from breathing problems and was on the brink of having a heart attack, he decided to lose weight and went on “only lime-water” diet. He managed to lose weight and has maintained it till date, but his muscle strength is zero and he lacks stamina.

Crash diets could lead to multiple side effects, says Mumbai-based fitness guru Sheru Aangrish, adding that problems like haggard look, dark under eyes, dull skin, sloppy posture and less stamina are very common among such people.

“Quick weight loss is not healthy either because that leads to loss of more muscle mass than fat. The process of losing fat and gaining muscle may vary from individual to individual but there is no short cut. I don’t recommend to anyone instant weight gain or weight loss,” he said.
