I go to the gym six days a week to work out and tone my body along with keeping it in shape. At the gym, I do cardios and lots of running on the treadmill which helps me increase my stamina.

Weights and abs follow. When in Mumbai, I take a walk in the evening as the weather is very pleasant. As far as my daily dietary intake is concerned, my day starts with five glasses of plain water, which helps me cleanse my system and keep my skin looking fresh and healthy.

Breakfast consists of fresh fruit juices or milk. Seasonal fruits are also a part of my breakfast. I drink lots of water all day long as it is the best remedy to keep the system clean and the skin glowing. For lunch, I have a portion of rice along with pulses, one vegetable, two chapattis and salad.

As an evening snack I drink coconut water or juice along with digestive biscuits. Dinner starts with salad and soup, followed by chapattis, pulses, one vegetable and curd. If I feel hungry between meals, I snack on fruits and salads.

Chocolates are something I can't resist, but I minimise my intake. I am a pure vegetarian and I believe that vegetarianism is the healthy way of life. I generally do not drink or smoke. Occasional drinking while socialising consists of wine only.

For my skin, I do not use any chemicals like facial bleach. I have never had a facial done till date, as I strongly believe that home remedies are very helpful for my skin. I use malai on my face to keep it baby soft. Good skin is part of my genes and so I do not have to worry too much about it. If need be, I use multani mitti as a face pack.
