Mishi Khan’s tip to nutritionists: Make healthy eating wallet-friendly
Mishi Khan has had it with hefty price tags on healthy foods. The TV host and former star spoke about nutritionists on TV giving advice for Ramadan. Taking to Instagram, she said in a video, “I heard some nutritionists on Ramadan shows telling people what to eat and what not to eat. They say things like cereals and milk, but can everyone buy that? How can a person afford cereal in such inflation? People are barely surviving and running their kitchens. Many are hardly managing one meal; people are living in big families of six people or more. I don’t understand how they come up with such unrealistic ideas. Are you guys unaware of the inflation? You are advising poor people to take cereal, fluids, and other expensive items.”

Amid ‘Katespiracy’, Meghan Markle returns to Instagram
Meghan Markle, the wife of Britain’s Prince Harry, is launching a new lifestyle brand seemingly named after the couple’s oceanside California home. An Instagram page and website for American Riviera Orchard went live without advance warning Thursday, both featuring a gold-colored crest for the new venture.
The logo featured the word Montecito, the celebrity enclave where the couple have lived since 2020, which is close to Santa Barbara — itself sometimes known as the American Riviera. The social media account’s biography simply reads: “by Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.”
A representative for the duchess confirmed her participation in the new venture to AFP, without providing further details. American Riviera Orchard appears to be a kitchen and lifestyle-themed brand.
Thursday’s launch was accompanied by a grainy, retro-style promotional video in which Meghan Markle is seen arranging flowers and baking in a kitchen. A mailing list offered users the chance to sign up to become “the first to know about products, availability, and updates from American Riviera Orchard.”
Harry and Meghan, who is American, quit royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California. Their official Instagram handle has not posted since then. Meghan’s personal social media accounts and former lifestyle blog were both closed before the couple married.
In recent years, the couple have pursued a variety of media ventures. They criticised Britain’s royal family in a string of high-profile outpourings including a Netflix documentary series and Harry’s blockbuster autobiography Spare.
The couple had a Spotify-exclusive podcast deal, which came to an end last year after just one show. Netflix also dropped an animated series created by Meghan but an executive for the streaming giant in January said multiple projects from the couple, including a movie, remained “in very early development.”
