3. She Boxes

Chakravarti also loves to box as a way to stay in shape. She posted this video on Instagram of herself doing a boxing session with a trainer. She captioned the video, “Work in progress. Life in progress. Slowly and steadily.” Here's a boxing exercise that may work for you: "From a ready-stance position, perform two hooks in a row with the left hand, opening the arm and elbow out at shoulder height before rotating the hips and shoulders toward the target to deliver back-to-back punches as quickly as possible. Immediately follow the second hook with a right cross, pivoting on the right foot and rotating the hips as the right arm crosses the body at shoulder height. Repeat this 3-punch sequence as many times as possible for 40 seconds," says ACE Fitness.

4. She Swims

Chakravarti is a big fan of swimming as a way to stay in shape. She posted this reel of herself doing a hair flip in the pool, captioning it, “Reel virgin finally making a debut with a throwback! P.s after several failed attempts, finally managed to get it right (how to make a reel & the video itself) LOL.” She posted this set of photos of herself and her friends enjoying a pool day, captioning it, “Laughing away the blues.” She also told TellyChakkar, “I go to the gym thrice a week and swimming four times a week; this is the simple way I manage to stay fit.”

5. She Eats Healthy

Chakravarti tells TellyChakkar that she eats pretty healthy each day. She says that she likes to cook a lot of her own food, and makes sure she’s not eating too much. “I don’t have any diet plan; I eat everything but avoid eating junk food, and have just homemade food. I also make it a point to eat in every two to three hours and never overeat.”
