Actor Aamir Khan has opened up about the failure of his last film Laal Singh Chaddha revealing that he was “emotionally hurt”. At the ABP Ideas of India Summit 3.0 on Friday, Aamir shared that he realised that he received “a lot of love after a flop”, which for him was “the funny side of it”. Aamir said, “It’s a film close to my heart. Advait, Kareena and the whole cast and crew worked hard and it didn’t do well. Two things happened, after a long time my film didn’t work, so family and friends would come home to ask me, ‘If I’m okay?’ I realised that I’m getting a lot of love after a flop. That was the funny side of it. The real side is, failure teaches you what really has gone wrong. It gives you an opportunity to understand what was your mistake in terms of communicating that story.” Dig Deeper

Vitamin B complex is a common supplement that people take sometimes without consulting their doctor. Being water soluble, these are not stored by the body and hence it’s important to take them regularly for important body functions like metabolism, energy production to maintaining nervous system. While it’s crucial to consume sufficient levels of all important B vitamins, having too much can have worrying side effects from cardiovascular trouble to liver damage. The best way to take your vitamins is to take them naturally through your diet. B vitamins are abundant in leafy greens, seafood, poultry eggs, dairy products, legumes, and nuts. Supplements should strictly be taken on advice of a doctor and not over the counter. Dig Deeper
