HE BREAKS RULES, HEARTS AND RECORDS As Prem, the nation’s first love; as Bajrangi, the unlikely hero who saved the day and brought kindness back in vogue; as Tiger, the action king who redefined machismo for a new India, Salman Khan is the only Bollywood superstar who has ruled romance, comedy and action with equal ease and style. While critics share the perfect love-hate relationship with him, for his fans—who flock to the theatres with every new release, their loyalty unquestionable, their excitement unbridled—nothing can match the anticipation of a new film starring Salman Khan. His signature swagger, magnetic charm and larger-than-life persona have fascinated moviegoers film after film. In Salman Khan: The Sultan of Bollywood, through fan interviews, never-before-seen photos and insights from long-time collaborators of the star, the author has put forward an ode to the actor who has made an impact on pop culture like no other. Through controversies and comebacks, blockbusters and hard life lessons, Salman has remained cinema’s wild heart and its last true mystery—perhaps the only superstar of his kind that India will ever see.

Medicinal Herbs Beneficial for Heart (Hridya dravya) Practice in Ayurveda Dr. A. P. Anoma Jayasiri Heart disease is one of the world’s leading causes of sudden death, yet many natural remedies grow quietly around us. This book highlights important Ayurvedic medicinal plants that support heart helth and help prevent Hridroga. Drawing on classical Ayurveda texts and modern research, the author explains how each plant’s properties-Rasa (taste), Guna (qualities), Veerya (potency), Vipaka (biotransformation), and Prabhava (specific potency)-relate to its chemical composition and healing value. The structure and function of the heart are also presented through the lens of the three Dosas, offering deeper insight into heart physiology. Each plant is introduced with its botanical identity, Sri Lankan names, and traditional uses, including lesser-known species whose benefits remain underused. These insights open new possibilities for students, practitioners, and researchers. Clear, practical, and evidence-based, this guide is ideal for anyone seeking natural ways to protect and strengthen the heart.
