Bollywood Star Elnaaz Norouzi In Workout Gear Shares Elevator Selfie

Iranian actress Elnaaz Norouzi is hitting the gym and sharing pictures of her outfits for social media. Norouzi, 28, shared a snap of herself posing in the elevator, taking a selfie in green two-piece workout gear. "Mama is back in her lift—but first gotta hit the gym," reads the text on her Instagram story. Norouzi is passionate about health and wellness, and is constantly improving herself—here's how the actress stays toned and fit.

Norouzi loves to stay active. "I have different times for working out, [it] generally depends on my work schedule," she told Women Fitness. "I try to incorporate different things while working out, it can be yoga, martial arts, dancing and even hiking when I am in Germany. The most important thing is to keep moving! My message for the reader on prioritizing fitness and health would be that fitness and health are the most important things in life everything comes later on since if you are healthy and fit then only you can excel in life therefore it's very important to keep yourself hydrated and have a good lifestyle so that you have a long and healthy life."

Norouzi says she is a loving and giving person when you get to know her. "If you see me working or chilling on the set, you might think I am not very approachable at first — or you might think I am cold, but I'm actually a very emotional person!" she told Masala!. "I love to make sure my people are happy and well taken care of. I like people who know what they want, loyalty is very important to me…what I don't like is inconsistency."

Norouzi practices intermittent fasting when she wants to reset her health and fitness. "During Covid, I put on a lot of weight around 8 kilos, this was because I felt sick and I was back in Germany enjoying food with my family but when I came back I had to lose weight because I had to start shooting for my shows," she told Women Fitness. "I started to follow intermittent fasting and it has definitely helped me a lot, I feel more energetic. It has helped in cleansing my body when it comes to eating appropriate portions and not consuming a lot of junk. My favorite cheat meal has to be pizza!"

Norouzi taught herself to speak Hindi to work in Bollywood. "It's been 5 years since Sacred Games and I can say that I haven't been fully accepted," she told Masala!. It's still a big struggle to make people believe that I can speak Hindi fluently, or that I could be as good as any other Indian actress. But I can sense that I am on the right track of being fully accepted. It's obviously been very hard but that's what I chose."

Like Billy Zane's character in Titanic, Norouzi doesn't believe in luck. "I was 14 when I started modeling," she told Mag the Weekly. "I started working with photographers, taking pictures, reading a lot about modeling. Then one thing lead to another. I don't believe in luck as such, I think I'm really hardworking. When I look back to the things I have done in life, how hard I had to work to get here, I really think I was not lucky."
