“Acompetitive sport like a game of squash or basketball or even a swim tops my list of stress-busters. If I have time on hand, then there’s nothing like a drive down to Mahableshwar or Mulshi (near Pune) and spending the day amidst the mountains. But if I have only about five to 10 minutes to destress, then I use breath meditation techniques or classical music riyaz — that really works for me. Humour is my strength. Keep smiling — that’s my mantra.”

My workout regime I don’t workout in a gym. Till date, I’ve never taken any membership of any gym. But I dance a lot. I also do yoga which involves suryanamaskars and meditation. I’m a person who is always active, doing something or the other. I can’t sit in one place. I am extremely hyperactive. I put on music, and just go on dancing in my house. I also attend dance classes every day for two hours. It doesn’t matter what type of dance — I just have to dance. So much so that I even conduct dancing classes for children living in the same apartment complex. I believe that size zero is not something one should look forward to achieve. One needs to enjoy life, be excited about life and put one’s energy into everything you do to stay physically fit. That’s my fitness mantra. My daily diet I eat a lot and I eat everything under the sun. I eat butter paranthas, rice, drink juices, etc. I have three heavy meals in a day and sometimes four to five meals in a day.
