Too late to post how my morning looked like , but the beautiful ,soft morning Sun , yoga , green-tea & some conversations about the ancient history of traditional yoga , is still holding me ! So it’s never too late 😁 #nofilter #ofcourcenomakeup 😋
As much as creatively & professionally 2019 was a great year for me, it also happened to be one of my most difficult years in terms of health & fitness.
I was down with severe dengue, after having barely recovered from a terrible neck injury. I had drastically lost my stamina & immunity & had to soon start shooting for a film- where the crew was on hold for me.
The fear of not being able to perform to the best of my ability as an actor & not ‘looking fit’ gripped me deep within.
In the quest to look leaner and adhering to the socially constructed notion that physical attractiveness of a women is one of her most important assets, I foolishly started cutting down on food and completely stopped the much needed carbs.
Also In order to ‘appear fit’ during my hectic shoot schedule, followed by another film promotion & ad shoots , I desperately tried working out.
I got up at 5am, did yoga from 5:30am to 7am, left for my 12-13 hour shoot day, came back and again hit the gym for another hour , all this while being in immense pain and barely even getting time for 4 hours of sleep daily.
So, obviously I failed, I failed miserably.
My body needed what it needed the most, time to heal.
So for me holding this W.O.D means a lot.
From the time climbing even 4 steps on a staircase left me breathless to being here has been quite a task .
Point is, we owe our responsibility first towards our own self – body & mind, & not to any external or self-created pressure whatsoever.
Your body is your temple so take care of it, respect it , eat healthy-preferably home-cooked, although binging once in a while doesn’t hurt 😉 .
But please do not abuse it.
Remember to always take one day at a time and make each day special because you my friend deserve it. P.S.. Thank you Abbas Ali for not just pushing me to laugh after this workout but also my limits everyday @bodyholics & thank you @sarvesh_shashi @smeghe for being an important part of this journey too 🙏🏻 HAPPY WOMEN’ Day 🌷

Please stay home, avoid social gatherings , wash hands repeatedly, avoid touching your face with unwashed hands , educate your house helps , staff etc to do the same , esp on receiving a parcel etc , carry hand sanitiser if needed to go out ! WE CANNOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY ! Yesterday our honourable Prime Minister ji urged us to follow some protocols for our own safety , let’s please do the same ! That’s the least we can do as responsible citizens towards each other & our doctors who are working tirelessly🙏🏻 #combatcovid19

घर में बनाया शुद्ध नारियल-तेल !
When we have limited resources , how essential things can be created at home itself, with basic things available.. But these habits should still be encouraged ,of utilising things , even after we get through these hard times.
Prayers & efforts , in money or kind, for the needy & underprivileged should not stop. Who donated how much amount doesn’t matter ,it’s the intention that counts first. I learnt it at school , if your right hand makes a charity-your left hand shouldn’t know.. but at these times , it’s coming in public eye only to encourage people ,at large , to do the same in these desperate times , to the best capacity .. so Please don’t compare anyone & just play your own part silently…
As far as social media is concerned , I have never been an avid user or someone who constantly keeps my life updated but in these times , we can show the positive side of it by using it correctly .. Share love , positivity , express yourself in however way you want to share & it gives you happiness or don’t if you don’t wish to …
We all in this together & need to come out as better humans on the other side of it 🙏🏻🌸
