Esha Gupta is a vision in white! The Indian actress from Raaz 3D, Rustom and Baadshaho, and former Miss India International, shows off her phenomenal figure in a white swimsuit via her latest Instagram post, adding a peace offering "dove" emoji in the caption. How does the beauty keep herself so fit? Read on to see 8 ways Esha Gupta stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Is a Vegetarian

Esha doesn’t eat meat. “I come from a family of vegetarians. We are vegetarians not for religious purposes though. Although I am a Punjabi, I have lots of vegetables with collagen in them,” she told Gulf News. "A plant-based diet, which emphasizes fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, legumes and nuts, is rich in fiber, vitamins and other nutrients. And people who don't eat meat — vegetarians — generally eat fewer calories and less fat, weigh less, and have a lower risk of heart disease than nonvegetarians do," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Is a Devoted Yogi

Esha’s go-to workout is yoga. “Honestly, I have been an athlete all my life and yoga has always been a part of my life. It has helped me stay active, focused and determined … Yoga is not just for my body, but for my soul,” she told Gulf News. “I have been practicing Iyengar yoga for the last 10 years. I want my body to be aligned and this form of traditional yoga helps me achieve that … Iyengar yoga is all about breath control and is a combination of postures and pranayama [breath control]. You feel elongated after a session,” she continued. "It also helps me with my strength. We use props like ropes and soft bricks. But if you are not focused, then your breath control isn’t right and your asanas [poses] are not under your control. I work out first thing in the morning because you need to concentrate while doing yoga.”

3. Yoga and Breathing Help Her Mental Health

Esha maintains that yoga and breathing exercises help her cope with the pressure of today’s world. “The generation before us was very different. There was not so much showing off or so much negativity. The maximum you may face is that ‘neighbor auntie’ who will speak something ill about you. But we celebrities get hated a lot … People have become so dependent on social media and it’s becoming difficult to switch off,” she told Gulf News. “But that one hour of yoga helps me calm down and relax. Breathing calms me down and there are times when I end up sleeping towards the end of the session. Just after five minutes of that, you feel so refreshed and invigorated.”

4. She Is Gluten- and Dairy-Free

"I am gluten and dairy-intolerant, so I avoid it completely,” Esha told Gulf News. “When I eat gluten, my stomach hurts and I get acidic. Plus, I don’t believe in having milk products because I don’t think our body needs it. I also have carbs until 6pm. For dinner, I just have dal [lentils] or soups.”

5. She Believes Health Is More About Strength Than Size

Esha doesn’t focus on the numbers. “It doesn’t matter what size you are or what body shape you are, the real question is whether you can climb a flight of stairs without any problem … Being healthy is not about being thin … I remember seeing my young cousins in Dubai and them fretting about being a size four. But I told them, you can be any size but focus on being healthy and fit. I don’t want to have a daughter tomorrow who’s concerned that she isn’t thin,” she told Gulf News. "So, our focus should be on being healthy and fit. Lots of designers have banned size zero models and that’s wonderful. American model Ashley Graham has such a beautiful face and body. You look at her and you know that she works out too and remember just because you are smaller in dress size doesn’t mean you are healthier than me.”

6. She Hydrates

One of Esha’s top tips? Drink lots of water. “Hydrate well,” she told Gulf News. “While you can drink a bit of water during the session, avoid it if you don’t want to do yoga on a full bladder.”

7. She Does Cardio and Strength Training

FASHION-INDIA-NIRMOOHASUJIT JAISWAL/AFP via Getty Images

Esha also does strength training and cardio. “I never get bored of a workout, because I feel great after a session. I currently have a lot going on, so I don’t get to exercise that much. But on a usual day, I go to my building gym in Andheri. I cannot exercise at home. I need to have that mirror in front of me, and that whole vibe of other people working out around me,” she told iDiva. What does her average workout consist of? “I do an hour of weights, which include sides and abs, followed by 30 minutes of cardio with crossfit. I alternate the two. So if I do 20 minutes of cardio, I follow that up with 10 minutes of crossfit and vice versa.”

8. She Works Out in the Morning

Esha believes that the early bird gets the workout worm! “I like working out in the mornings, but it depends on the day,” she told iDiva. “Even if I can’t workout, I start my day with Surya Namaskar. While I don’t do complex stuff, I feel like my body opens up with yoga. I always do it before a cardio session.”

Actress Parineeti Chopra loves to spend time by the water. She’s currently on vacation in Pulau and is making sure to get some photos for social media. Chopra posted a new photo on Instagram of herself taking a boat ride. She wore a black bikini, looking stunning. Chopra captioned the post, “Just give me a boat, a bikini and my dive computer …🪸⌚️ #Peace #ScubaDiving #Ambassadiver #WorldOceansDay #Sangalaki.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Parineeti Chopra stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She’s Motivated

One of Chopra’s workout secrets? She actually wants to workout. She tells Times of India, "I am a 25-year-old and there is no reason for me to look fat. I want to look great. I am taking care of myself and I am losing even more weight because I want to look better." "But you don't have to do it alone. Talk to your doctor, family and friends for support. Ask yourself if now is a good time and if you're ready to make some necessary changes. Also, plan smart: Anticipate how you'll handle situations that challenge your resolve and the inevitable minor setbacks," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Scuba Dives

Chopra loves to go to the beach and spend time in the water. She is an avid scuba diver, and has posted several diving photos and videos on Instagram. She posted this video of herself diving in the Indian Ocean, surrounded by fish and rays. Chopra captioned the video, “My meditation.”

3. She Meditates

Chopra loves to practice meditation as a way to keep a healthy wellbeing and mental state. She posted this set of photos of herself meditating in Nepal. In them, she sat outside on a mountain. Chopra captioned the post, “Daily meditation is my secret.” You could try "Emotion-centered meditation. This kind of meditation has you focus on a specific emotion. For example, focusing on how to be kind to others or on what makes you happy in your life," says the Cleveland Clinic. Or: "Meditation with movement. This type of meditation can involve focusing on breathing, holding your breath or performing specific body movements. It can also involve walking while focusing on what you observe around you."

4. She Goes Hiking

One outdoor activity Chopra loves to do is go hiking. She posted this set of photos on Instagram of herself at the Everest Base Camp. She captioned the post, “Good morning, Mr. Everest. You taught me a lesson in humility today.”

5. She Strength Trains

Chopra loves to lift weights and do strength training workouts to stay in shape. She posted this video on Instagram of herself doing dumbbell squats. She captioned the video, “Heavylifting for now. Cardio can weight.” "One sure way to break through a plateau is to change some or all of the variables in the workout program. These variables include: exercise selection, intensity, repetitions, sets, rest interval, tempo (speed of movement) and frequency (the number of exercise sessions in a specific period of time). To stimulate almost immediate changes in your body, increase the amount of weight (thereby increasing the intensity) you use in your workouts. If you find yourself not making any gains or simply want a different exercise program, here are six ways using heavy weights can help you make the changes you want to see in your body," says ACE Fitness.

4. She Doesn’t Use Her Phone When Working Out

Read on to see 7 ways 5 stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Loves Yoga

AnanyaAnanya Panday/Instagram

Ananya posted a photo of herself doing a yoga inversion. “My favourite morning ritual 🧿🦋❤️🧘🏻‍♀️ the world is truly better upside down 😝 @anshukayoga @rysapanday,” she captioned it. “ There exists an indisputable connection between a person's overall physical and mental health and the inner peace and well-being yoga is designed to achieve. Yoga suspends the fluctuations of the mind and by acting consciously, we live better and suffer less,” says one study. “Health care professionals, health educators and the like, need to be aware of the potential of yoga as an important component of a personal wellness plan.”

2. She Dances

Ananya just shared a video of her dancing. “Hooked to this step and the vibe of this song! As they say - #JugJuggJeeyo to the team and all our love for the film from Team Liger ❤️ #ThePunjaabbanSong,” she captioned it. “If you're at risk for cardiovascular disease - start dancing. More research has shown that people with heart failure who started waltzing not only improved their heart health and breathing, but they also saw overall improvement in their quality of life. Additionally, these improvements were significantly greater than those with heart failure who cycled, or walked on a treadmill,” says the Y.

3. She Eats Green Veggies

Entertainment India - March 2022Prodip Guha/Getty Images

“Sweet potatoes, carrots, red and green peppers, kale, spinach, and broccoli all contain the antioxidant carotene. Try to choose red, orange, deep yellow and dark green leafy vegetables every day,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Cruciferous veggies taste great on their own. There’s nothing like fresh arugula from the garden. The sweet, spicy crunch of a pure, translucent slice of radish or kohlrabi is like nothing else,” says the Cleveland Clinic.

4. She Indulges Once in a While

Ananya posed with a cheeseburger recently. “Never getting over Nevada 🤠🥹 throwback to the best time shooting for Liger ,” she captioned it. “Allow yourself an indulgence every now and then. A candy bar or handful of potato chips won't derail your heart-healthy diet. But don't let it turn into an excuse for giving up on your healthy-eating plan. If overindulgence is the exception, rather than the rule, you'll balance things out over the long term. What's important is that you eat healthy foods most of the time,” says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Likes a Bold Brow

Bold brows are very “in” now and Ananya is on trend. One study found stress can inhibit hair growth and another study found olive oil may stimulate hair growth. And stay active. “Participating in sports and other physical activities — particularly those that don't emphasize a particular weight or body shape — can help promote good self-esteem and a positive body image,” says the Mayo Clinic.

Rashmi Gautam missed her vacation days. And she’s making up for it when the pandemic hit. Gautam shared a new post on Instagram of herself on vacation. In it, she sat by the pool enjoying breakfast. Gautam captioned the photo, “This is how your 1st international trip after 2020 feels like.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Rashmi Gautam stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Doesn’t Care About Criticism

Gautam has no time for criticism. When someone on Twitter commented on her body, she immediately hit back. Gautam wrote, “Well I’m not almost turning 30, that ship sailed quite some time back. And coming to the weight gain it happens sometimes and since we do tv it gets noticed very visibly unlike in films where u get your gaps and time to focus exclusively on yourself.”

2. She’s Comfortable With Herself

In the same post, Gautam revealed that she’s comfortable with herself. “And also, what’s the big deal, it’s after all weight you lose some you gain some. As actresses, yes there are certain expectations from us. But I refuse to go under the knife, or endorse fad diets. Under any circumstance. Each one has a body type there is no set mold to fit in.”

3. She Embraces Aging

One thing Gautam does to feel comfortable with herself is embrace aging. “For some weird reason our society does not accept aging, which is a natural thing,” she says. “You cannot look like a teenager all your life and one should not push their lifestyle to an extent when u only live off soups and salads. Things like these build unwanted pressure on a lot of us and I personally know many who have had to take extreme measures and are battling depression so please be mindful. And I wud rather exit gracefully than go thru unwanted pressure and not have a life.”

4. She Swims

Gautam spends a lot of time in the water. She posted this video of herself in a pool on Instagram. Gautam captioned it, “Once a water baby, always a water baby.” Swimming.org reports that, “Swimming uses all the muscles in the body so whether you swim a gentle breaststroke or hammer butterfly, you will get a full body workout. Plus, exercising in water makes your body work harder so 30 minutes in a pool is worth 45 minutes of the same activity on land.”

5. She’s An Activist

Gautam is a supporter of animal rights. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram highlighting the cause. Gautam posted this photo for Animal Welfare Day. She also shared this post calling for less explosives during Eid celebrations. She captioned it, “The goal here is to save animals and make sure no animals are harmed. Asking to avoid loud noise explosives has become such a big issue.”

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She Swims

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
