Indian Actress Malaika Arora In Workout Gear Says “Work That Core”

Indian actress and dancer Malaika Arora is showing fans what her mat yoga workouts look like while using a stick. Arora, 50, shared a video of herself wearing shorts and a white sports bra, doing several different poses with the wooden instrument. “#DandaYoga 🧘‍♀️#workThatCore,” she captioned the post. “Love this Wonder Woman,” a fan commented. Arora is thriving as she enters a new decade—here’s what her wellness and beauty routine looks like.

1. Daily Routine

Arora is passionate about skincare. “I keep my daily beauty routine absolutely simple,” she told Miss Malini. “When I’m not working, there’s absolutely no gook or gunk on my face. I keep my skin absolutely clean. I follow the basic steps of literally cleanse, tone and moisturize. And that’s how it should always be, no matter what. Make sure you follow these three steps religiously. You must also follow a good diet, get loads of sleep, drink lots of water and don’t forget to use SPF when you’re in the sun.”

2. Fashion Designer

Arora collaborated with Disney to create a line of clothing. “I am nostalgic and elated to be designing a collection with Disney’s Mickey Mouse,” she told Zee Zest. “It was the right time for this nostalgic collaboration too. We knew as a team that it was time for something colourful, joyous and nostalgic. Mickey Mouse inspired us to do just that!

3. No Shortcuts

Arora is proud of her achievements, and hopes to inspire others. “The trajectory of my life should inspire people to take charge of their circumstances,” she told Grazia India. “There are no shortcuts, and the sooner you embrace your opportunities underpinned by a tough as nails work ethic, success will follow. My mother embodies this; I have duplicated that mantra in my own life, and so many others, too, have managed to make something out of the lot they have been dealt.”

4. Style Foundations

Arora has a few go-to pieces she builds her style around. “It’s important to have a few pillars in the wardrobe that match everything,” she told Zee Zest. “Mine are blue jeans, black trousers and a white shirt, that’s it! I can match these with any piece of the Disney edit or any couture piece off the runway too. I inspire myself every single morning. And that’s what we all really need to do!”

5. Sustainable Fashion

Arora wants to encourage sustainable fashion. “In a world where we need to practice sustainability at its highest level, being smart about our wardrobe choices is very important,” she told Zee Zest. “The Label Life designs and styles signature essentials with the single-minded goal that they can be worn in at least five different ways. We practice a style-forward versus a trend-forward attitude in our design. In fact, the Disney Edit is designed to mix and match pieces as well as wear with your wardrobe basics seamlessly.”

Bollywood star Malaika Arora is dedicated to her health and fitness routine, which includes intense workout sessions with her personal trainer. Arora, 50, shared a video of herself wearing yellow shorts and a matching sports bra, doing a mat workout at home. “Always killing it, this one ♥️Starting the week off with some fun cardio and a dose of Casper’s energy ☺️💪,” trainer Jahnavi Patwardhan captioned the Instagram post. Here’s how Arora is in the best shape of her life in her 50s.

1. Beauty From the Inside

Arora believes beauty comes from healthy habits. “I believe beauty is inner health,” she told Harper’s Bazaar India. “If you are healthy and good from within, you can take on any new change or trend and ace it. I believe that being beautiful inside is more important than being beautiful outside. For this, one needs to lead a healthy lifestyle. Have lots of fruits and fresh juices, sleep on time, drink lots of water, exercise regularly and keep an active lifestyle. We are aware of all this but sometimes just need a little extra nudge to follow it.”

2. Hair Oil and Pilates

Arora prefers clean beauty products and swears by regular Pilates sessions. “I start my day with warm water and lemon every morning,” she told Femina. “I use organic, chemical-free make-up as much as possible and ensure that I remove my make-up every night before bed – in fact I cleanse twice while removing my make-up. I also oil my hair once a week. A sunscreen is important – even in the winter. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate – it’s my perpetual mantra! Keep active for at least 30 minutes everyday – my favorite go-to exercise is Pilates.”

3. Intermittent Fasting

Arora makes most of her food at home, rarely eating out. “I do intermittent fasting, so I don't eat anything in the morning because my last meal is at 7-7:30 in the night,” she told Times of India. “So, I fast for about 16 to 18 hours. I start my day with a lot of liquids, which is warm water, ghee or coconut oil, in the morning. The liquid could be whatever you like--plain water, jeera water, or water with lime. I do all of that in the morning and I break my fast with nuts--walnuts and a mix of nuts that I have.”

4. Limiting Screen Time

Arora takes break from screens for her mental health. “Practicing detachment from the noise on social media can be challenging but not impossible,” she told Harper’s Bazaar India. “It requires setting clear boundaries, limiting screen time and being mindful of emotional responses. Having self-awareness and focusing on real-life connections can help create a healthier relationship with social media. I also take breaks and prioritize mental well-being to find a balance and reduce the impact of the online world on my emotions.”

5. Her Beauty Rules

Arora’s beauty mantra is based on self-love and inner beauty. “I have three fundamental rules when it comes to beauty. Firstly, I advocate embracing uniqueness,” she told Harper’s Bazaar India. “It means recognising that beauty cannot be confined to a single standard but rather stems from embracing and celebrating your distinctiveness and unique attributes. Secondly, I emphasize the importance of prioritizing self-care, both physically and mentally. It plays a crucial role in exuding inner beauty and confidence. Lastly, I encourage individuals to be kind, compassionate and understand that genuine beauty emanates from acts of empathy, thereby contributing to a more beautiful world for all.”

Nature makes me feel more present, more calm and more focused on my yoga practice.”

3. She Works To Improve Her Metabolism

One thing Arora aims to do to stay healthy is improve her metabolism. She explained why in this Instagram reel. “We often forget that at the base of every function in the body, lies metabolism.

4. She Reduces Belly Fat

5. She’s Consistent

Arora is consistent with her workouts. She encouraged her followers to stick with their fitness routines on this Instagram post. “Get on the mat and show up every day for yourself,” she wrote. “Consistency is the secret. Nothing else.” "Aerobic exercise keeps your muscles strong, which can help you maintain mobility as you get older. Exercise can also lower the risk of falls and injuries from falls in older adults. And it can improve your quality of life," says the Mayo Clinic. "Aerobic exercise also keeps your mind sharp. Regular physical activity may help protect memory, reasoning, judgment and thinking skills (cognitive function) in older adults. It may also improve cognitive function in children and young adults. It can even help prevent the onset of dementia and improve cognition in people with dementia."

Indian actress Sara Ali Khan is giving her 45 million Instagram followers a look at what a typical core workout looks like. Khan, 28, shared a video of herself wearing green shorts and a sports bra, doing slow, controlled abdominal exercises on a Pilates reformer machine. “Start your day right, hold your core tight. I shall invest in some more gym wear soon! Till then I’m more than happy in my green,” reads the text over her post. Khan famously lost almost 90 pounds through diet and exercise—here’s how the star keeps it off and focuses on her health.

1. Her Fitness Goals

Khan changes up her fitness goals depending on her work—for example, having to look a certain way for a certain role. “But my fitness endeavor started before the realization that I wanted to become an actor,” she told Elle India. “My fitness goal is to wake up every morning and get in at least an hour of some form of exercise so I am a stronger and happier version of myself. I think the hormones that one has going after a good workout and just the feeling of satisfaction and conviction in yourself after a good workout is irreplaceable. That feel-good-serotonin that just rushes through your body is my goal.”

2. Moody Day Workouts

Khan does specific workouts to lift her mood when she needs a boost. “Usually a swim or a boxing session helps,” she told Elle India. “But if it's an extremely low day, and then I think a piece of chocolate that guilts me into working out even harder the next day keeps me going.”

3. 90-Pound Weight Loss

Khan lost almost 90 pounds and transformed her life. “My weight loss journey has been a profound learning experience, unveiling crucial insights into wellness and self-care,” she told Lifestyle Asia. “The massive impact nutrition has on overall fitness has been my key takeaway from my journey. It is rightly said beauty truly begins in the kitchen. I have come to appreciate the nourishing power of natural ingredients for nurturing my skin from within.”

4. Yoga, Meditation, and Self-Care

Khan has a holistic approach to health and beauty. “I think beauty tips are very subjective because it depends on how comfortable you are with the products you use,” she told Lifestyle Asia. “But for me a couple of these things are essential on a daily routine basis – a good, nourishing shower gel with skin conditioners, an effective sunscreen and lots of water throughout the day. I usually keep an hour in the day to meditate or practice yoga which also lets me unwind and relax.”

5. Her Fitness Advice

Khan has good advice for fitness beginners. “Don’t get disappointed if you don’t see immediate results, anything worth it takes time,” she told Elle India. “Look good, feel good, work harder—I work out better when I look better so dress for yourself in the gym. Set a weekly target for yourself with a reward system, so you can keep going. Working out is just half the battle, eating right is as important. Change up your routine; body, mind and souls enjoy variation in workout!”
