1. Don’t Eat a Big Breakfast

Karishma isn’t a fan of a hearty meal first thing in the morning. “I do not like to stuff myself at breakfast. Contrary to popular belief which says that one should have a heavy breakfast to pull through the day, I believe that it makes you lethargic,” she told DNA India. “Hence, I prefer to have only a glass of milk and a banana or a mango for breakfast. At times, I have south-Indian fare like upma or idlis, but that’s rare.”

2. Eat Small Meals Every Few Hours

Snacking is a key part of Karishma’s diet. “I am a foodie,” she confessed to DNA India. “I feel like eating something every two hours - and usually I give in to my cravings. My mid-meal snack consists of something tangy or spicy - mostly it’s sev puri, a snack I can survive on for years. I just love my sev puris.”

3. Cook Your Own Food

Karishma tries to eat home whenever possible. “I have a wholesome, home-made vegetarian lunch which consists of raita, papad, pickle, subzi, dal and roti. I avoid having rice. For lunch, I make it a point to eat only home-made food,” she told DNA India. “I prefer having my dinner at home for two reasons: one, its healthier and second, because my mother is a fantastic cook. She loves to experiment with various cuisines. We follow an interesting norm at home. While lunch consists of typical Gujju fare, our dinners have an amazing variety ranging from pizzas to pastas to chop suey.”

4. Workout Hard

Karishma described herself as “a total fitness freak,” to Times of India. “My workout regime is maintained by my trainer who meticulously plans my workouts. I follow a program, which includes three days of hardcore weight training and three days of cardio exercise. I make sure to chill out on Sundays — it helps me overcome my fatigued muscles,” she said.

5. Love Your Body

Karishma has a self-love approach to fitness. “Work out, bcz u love ur body. Not bcz u hate it,” she captioned this Instagram post. “Enough of gyaan. Get up and start.” As can be evidenced by all of her workout videos, she chooses to have fun with exercise and not view it as punishment.

6. Take Time for Self-Care

Karishma is all about self-care. “MY Idea of relaxation I love stepping into a spa to unwind. A reflexology session followed by a complete de-stressing body massage and long steam with some soothing melodious music relaxes me greatly. If I can’t go to a spa, just lazing in my bed watching television or reading a book is also great. Spending quality time with family or going out for long drives rejuvenates me completely,” she told Times of India.

7. Find a Workout Buddy

Karishma suggests finding a workout buddy. Lucky for her, her husband, Varun Bangera is game. The two often share videos and photos working out together.

When Chandna signed on to appear in Naagin 5, she had to get in shape. She shared her process to Times Of India. "I had to say bye-bye to all the happy weight and bring a transformation because my character needed that,” she explained. “If you are playing a naagin you need to look sexy, fit and someone who can easily do the stunts. The previous seasons' actresses, who played naagins, had already set a bar so high, that it was important to look different and set a new trend."

2. She Did Her Own Stunts

In Naagin 5, Chandna did a lot of her own stunts. "When I signed up for the show, I did not have time to go to the gym, because we were shooting for 12-13 hours,” she tells Times Of India. “Naagin is not a show that requires you to be at one place throughout the day. The show had a fast pace, we had to run around a lot because of outdoor scenes and do a lot of stunts and action scenes. This helped me burn my calories, so I was burning good calories on the sets, shooting for 12-13 hours."

3. She Believes In Balance

The idea was to be physically active and run around a lot, eat in small proportions than totally deprive yourself."

4. She Stays Consistent

Kate Sharma, the actress, model and influencer, loves to share her everyday life with her fans, including her many outfit changes. Sharma posted a reel of herself walking and posing in a black bathing suit and see-through skirt, with the hashtag “reel it, feel it.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sharma 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 To Take Baths

Sharma loves the physical and mental benefits of taking regular baths. “Baths help many people sleep well,” says family medicine provider Amy Zack, MD. “They also create a good environment for meditation, thought and escape from everyday stressors.”

Baths have been a popular way to relax and unwind for centuries, and there are a number of potential health benefits associated with taking a soak in the tub. Here are a few examples:

1. Stress relief: The warm water and the act of soaking in a bath can help to relax the muscles and reduce stress. In fact, research has shown that taking a warm bath can lower blood pressure and heart rate, both of which can be indicators of stress.
2. Improved sleep: The relaxation and stress-reducing effects of a bath can also help to improve sleep quality. A warm bath before bedtime can help you fall asleep faster and wake up feeling more refreshed.
3. Pain relief: Soaking in warm water can help to reduce muscle pain and soreness, particularly after exercise. The buoyancy of the water can also help to take the weight off of sore joints, making it easier to move around.

2. She Swims

Sharma enjoys swimming as part of her fitness regimen. "Because the activity is less weight-bearing, certain groups of people can take advantage of it if they want to be active,” says Brian Wright, associate professor of kinesiology at DePauw University. “One can also continue to do it late into one's age, as opposed to weight-bearing activities like running.”

3. She’s a Dancer

Like most Bollywood stars, Sharma is an accomplished dance performer. “When you begin moving, you immediately release the brain chemicals dopamine, adrenaline, and endorphins, causing a powerful and lasting effect I call ‘energized optimism,’” says Kelly McGonigal, PhD.

4. She Enjoys Indian Snacks

Sharma is a big fan of pani puri, an Indian street snack consisting of fried dough balls filled with vegetables. "The water used in pani puri are flavors of cumin, mint and tamarind,” says Senior Clinical Dietician Neha Bhatia. “Mint water and cumin are good for weight loss. Not just for weight loss, mint water is good for health as well. It can help in curing irritable bowel syndrome, provide relief to indigestion and improve immunity. Mint also has fiber, vitamin A, iron, manganese and folate."

5. She Loves the Beach

Sharma loves spending time at the beach. “The physical sensation of putting your feet in warm sand causes people to relax,” says Richard Shuster, PsyD. “We’ve been conditioned to think of the beach as peaceful and relaxing. We expect when we go to the beach that we are going to relax.”

Spending time at the beach can have a number of health benefits. Here are a few examples:

1. Improved mental health: The sound of the waves and the smell of the saltwater can help to relax the mind and reduce stress. In fact, research has shown that spending time in natural environments can help to improve mental health and reduce the risk of depression and anxiety.
2. Increased vitamin D: Sun exposure is an important source of vitamin D, which is essential for strong bones and a healthy immune system. Spending time at the beach can help you get more vitamin D, which can be difficult to get from food alone.
3. Increased physical activity: The beach is a great place for physical activity, such as swimming, surfing, or playing beach sports. Exercise is important for overall health, as it can help to improve cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones and muscles, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
4. Improved skin health: The sun's UV rays can have a drying effect on the skin, but the saltwater and sand at the beach can help to exfoliate and moisturize the skin. The ocean's minerals can also help to improve skin conditions such as acne and eczema.
5. Improved sleep: The relaxation and stress-reducing effects of spending time at the beach can also help to improve sleep quality. Getting enough restful sleep is important for overall health, as it helps to repair the body and support immune function.

1. She Dances

Pandey starred in a film that required her to learn choreography. She tells Urban Asian that all this dancing helped her get in shape. “For this particular weight loss, I got on a meal plan and luckily I was doing a film. Which required immense amount of dance rehearsals that added to my weight loss. So, there is nothing specific that I did to shed my weight but I feel the meal plan worked really well. I was dancing for around four hours daily and that’s a lot of cardio which helped me a lot.”

2. She’s Confident

Pandey says that she is confident in herself and with her body. “I have always been confident of my physique,” she told Urban Asian. “I never really paid attention to what people were saying about it. I loved whichever phase. I was in physically and never really put pressure on myself to be a certain body type.”

3. She Grew Up Athletic

Pandey tells Urban Asian that she grew up playing a lot of sports, which has helped her stay in shape now. “I was always into sports. I started swimming since the 5th standard. I was into a lot of sports actually like badminton and volleyball and others. I was quite an outdoor kind of a kid. So yes, I have been a fitness freak since ever.”

4. She Swims

Pandey loves to go swimming. And she always brings a buddy with her. She posted this reel on Instagram of herself and her dog in the pool together. Pandey captioned the reel, “That’s my girl.”

5. She Has A Dog

Pandey has an adorable golden retriever, who is featured on her Instagram. Having a dog has a lot of benefits. According to Harvard Health, “Owning a dog can prompt you to be more physically active — have leash, will walk. Just petting a dog can reduce the petter's blood pressure and heart rate (while having a positive effect on the dog as well).”
