Are you a fitness freak?
I believe in fitness. I belong to a family who are genetically inclined to be on the plump side, and to top it, we love food. So I have to be very careful about my fitness.
What's your exercise routine?
I go to the gym four times a week, and I have a personal trainer I work out with. I do cardio and weight. Twice a week, I do Yoga, which I believe is more for the fitness of the mind than body, which is equally important. On Sunday, I give my body a rest, and indulge myself in the thing I love most - food.
Do you follow a diet regime?
I am not very good at dieting to be honest. Though I do watch what I eat, because exercise and dieting both go hand in hand.
What's your eating schedule like?
I start with a healthy breakfast which must have fruits, with a cup of tea. Around 11 am I have coconut water. Lunch is around 1 pm which is generally one roti with a sabji and dal. I take some snacks like bhel and some tea at 4 pm and by 6.30-7 I have my dinner which primarily consists of soup and maybe some tandoori preparation.
How do you manage to keep up this schedule when you are shooting, especially when you have so much of tea, so much of oily food, snacks etc etc coming in?
I believe there can be no bigger guru than self restraint. You have to keep yourself in check. Because if you slip, you know that someone or the other is going to point out at the excess couple of kgs you are carrying, and that immediately has such a demoralising effect that you go into an overdrive of keeping away from anything that has oil in it for the next 20 days! So it's better to keep yourself in check.
Do you equate fitness with a good shape of body?
Personally, no. Sometimes, a fit looking person might not be as fit, and similarly, an unhealthy looking person might be the fittest person around. So being healthy has a lot to do with the mind. But yes, in general, fitness is a whole concept, rather than just having a good body or having a great diet program. Also, if it can be achieved through the natural process rather than through steroids or protein shakes, then nothing like it.
Any special tip you would like to share with our members to help them lead a healthy lifestyle?
Drink lots and lots of water. We have so many medical problems, and such complicated names for them as well, we have toxins, and we have fatigue, and we have so many different types of infections and what not. I truly believe that water is one single answer to all these problems. I drink at least 6-8 litres of water everyday. Also, another great tip to a healthy life style is an early dinner. Nothing beyond 7.30 in the evening. That is the best way to keep your constitution healthy.
