At the end, both the criminals go through a legal process, and much like the real-life Ranga-Billa case, the court held Babu and Rajjo fully accountable for the abduction and murders, sentencing them to the death penalty. Meanwhile, JP gets a professional closure after their arrests. But the series does not end here. No happy ending The most painful moment in Raakh comes at the end, after the case is solved. No celebration or courtroom drama is shown in the last episode. The series rather focuses on the absence left behind, even after the perpetrators are punished. Additionally, the final montage imagines an alternate reality in which Suman and Sahil choose not to accept a lift that evening and instead race each other to reach the radio station. The sequence offers glimpses of the lives they could have lived, filled with ordinary moments, happiness, and family pride. Suman's dream of singing on the radio comes true as her parents listen proudly to her broadcast, while Sahil enjoys the moment, but that was cruelly taken away from them.

<p>Raakh, inspired by the infamous 1978 Geeta and Sanjay Chopra murder case, is now streaming on Prime Video. Starring Ali Fazal, Sonali Bendre, and Aamir Bashir in lead roles, the series ends on a note that is far from what viewers might expect.<br>&nbsp;</p>

Raakh ending explained: The final episode is far more devastating than it appears

Fitness is not defined by how much you weigh. Your true health has many other aspects that people often skip. Wellness coach reveals why proper nutrition, and listening to your body matter more than quick transformations. 


We live in the age of the quick fix. Scroll through any feed & you are hit with "30-day transformations" & "miracle detoxes" that promise zero effort. Dangerous, right? Because it creates this delusion: fitness is a product you buy, not a life you build. Here's what a decade in the female fitness space teaches you: the industry changes, but the misunderstanding? It just gets deeper. It is not about counting reps anymore. It is fighting this quiet battle, the expectation that someone else holds the magic wand. "It's rewarding, don't get me wrong.

<p>With the rise of collagen-based supplements, people are now aware of how important collagen is for skin health. There are different types of products that claim to promote youthful skin. Despite being widely used and marketed, collagen supplements cannot replace food-based sources, which provide a wide variety of nutrients for your skin.</p><p>Firstly, your body produces collagen itself. The crucial thing is if your body gets enough nutrients that could help with collagen synthesis.</p><h3>The significance of collagen</h3><p>As the most abundant form of protein in the body, the importance of collagen in developing the skin cannot be underestimated. The function of collagen lies in keeping the skin hydrated and elastic. More specifically, it is known that collagen production starts to decline at the age of 25. In addition, there are many elements that could slow down the production of collagen, such as sun exposure, smoking, stress, lack of sleep, and excessive consumption of sugar.</p>

<p>Collagen synthesis reduction is what causes signs of ageing to develop on the skin.</p><h3>Nutrients that promote collagen production</h3><p>The formation of collagen is an effect of several nutrients working collectively. Among these is vitamin C, which plays a very crucial role in stimulating the synthesis of collagen fibre formation. This is achieved by some foods, including amla, guava, orange, lemon, and capsicum.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It should also be noted that proteins should be taken into consideration as well since they are major components of collagen. Proteins may be found in such foods as eggs, fish, chicken, milk, beans, and meat.</p>

<p>On top of that, it is equally important to consider other forms of nutrition for the synthesis of collagen. Zinc, a mineral, is one of the essential elements in tissue repair, and a few examples of zinc-rich foods are pumpkin seeds, beans, and nuts. However, one cannot ignore. In reality, antioxidants act as a defence mechanism of collagen against destruction by the harmful action of free radicals. Very rich sources of antioxidants are berries and green vegetables.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>According to Mr Jeevan Kasara, Chairman, Steris Healthcare, “Discussions about collagen seem to always circle around supplements; however, for one to have healthy skin, he or she needs to be well-nourished overall. There are several nutrients required for the body to be able to synthesise collagen.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>These include proteins, vitamin C, zinc, and antioxidants. One cannot hope to meet these needs by just taking some supplement, since there is nothing quite like having these essential nutrients from natural food sources.''</p>

<h3>The importance of food over a singular supplement</h3><p>One of the greatest downsides of collagen supplements is the lack of a complete solution. When ingested, collagen peptides break down to form amino acids and will go wherever they're needed most in your body. You have no way of knowing that they'll make their way to the skin where they're needed.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Food, however, gives you the full deal. With protein, vitamin C, healthy fats, and antioxidants in one meal, the body can produce more collagen while also protecting it from destruction.</p>

<h3>Skin health from a broader perspective</h3><p>Skin health is not attained by one particular element alone but rather an aggregate of many aspects, such as general nutrition, hydration, sleep, and even lifestyle factors. It is crucial to reduce excessive consumption of sugar as it can cause damage to the collagen structure by means of a process referred to as glycation. Hydration is also important when it comes to keeping the structure of the skin in good shape.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Collagen supplements have become increasingly popular due to the growing desire for a quick-fix solution. Despite this, studies continue to indicate that one should ensure that their skin health is taken care of through the consumption of healthy foods which help produce collagen.</p>

Collagen is essential for maintaining skin elasticity, hydration, and firmness, but the body's natural collagen production begins to decline after the age of 25. So is eating collagen alone

When they crossed the border, when they came to this side from the other, against their choice, they carried their 'potlis', trunks, jewellery and money. But they also carried love in their hearts. This love later became memories, which then became a kind of a personal jewel that they could return to at any moment when they felt too down or depressed."</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>The internet is currently talking about the Rs 370 biryani controversy, involving a comment made at stand-up comedian Pranit More’s show in Gurgaon. A Bigg Boss contestant was seen enjoying the remark made by an audience member about a woman, which many found derogatory, and this has dragged More into a major controversy. Not only this, but another video from another show of More’s went viral, where a woman doctor is shown making inappropriate remarks about Male reproductive parts as More laughed on. Days after the incident began, he finally issued an apology for his behaviour at the Gurgaon show.</p><h3>Pranit More issues an apology over Rs 370 Biryani controversy</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On Saturday morning, the RJ shared a video of himself in which he addressed the backlash and issued an apology to those who were hurt by the comments made on his show when he was doing crowd work. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Saying that he wanted to talk about this but was not able to because his Instagram was suspended, he said, "I feel I deserve this hate." Adding further, the stand-up said that he should have stopped that boy, but instead gave him a platform.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the video, Pranit said, “I wanted to address this issue for a long time, but I couldn’t because my Instagram account was suspended. You must have seen the crowd-work video for which I have been receiving a lot of hate. I deserve this criticism because during that crowd interaction, derogatory remarks were made. People laughed, and I got carried away. It was a lapse in judgment.''</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="Why is Pranit More being called out for his latest show?
