Model

Women don't think they need to exercise or run. They have a million excuses for why they don't have the time; they've got children at home, puja to attend to, breakfast to prepare and so on.

I think people do not associate me with the mainstream.

It is unfortunate that as a country we don't have this culture of promoting health and sports.

I identify myself as a explorer, do new things, surprise myself.

I don't like waking up early.

I never say no to an opportunity that I know nothing about.

I am an Asian food lover.

Nobody wants to cast me in films, yes that is true. I do not know why, but that is the reality.

Having control over what you eat is very very important.

The first step in empowerment is taking control of your health, respecting yourself and understanding and celebrating the value you bring to your family and society.

You learn that later on in life - it's not about how much you can lift or how fast you can run. It has a lot to do with your mental fitness, emotional balance, spiritual awareness.

For me, a holiday is doing something else apart from what I normally do.

What we call endurance sport today, we've been doing for centuries with pilgrimages, walking across the earth towards some goal, which is not all-important, because it's the journey that matters.

I used to own two gyms in Delhi called Breathe, so obviously I've entered a gym, but I don't use a gym for fitness.

There's a very simple rule to follow - never eat so much that you can't do 20 push-ups.

To run a marathon was a challenge that I had in my head since I was a kid.

Be fit. It will keep your body and skin looking good.

I want to work with people who have new visions of cinema.

I haven't been to the gym since 1998. I simply do push-ups and pull-ups, and I run. That's all.

If you run regularly for 10 to 15 kms, you get into that space where it is like meditation. There is no confusion in your head, thoughts enter and leave and you let go of all your pent-up emotions.
