1. She Cooks Healthy Food

Shah opened up about her journey with her weight to Times of India. She says that one of her secrets was cooking healthier foods. “I started cooking during the lockdown which I have never done. I started cooking healthy food and Krushna started losing weight because of me. I began eating healthy food, smaller portions and suddenly in October I checked my weight. Till September I had not checked my weight. Because we celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi and make delicious food, I wanted to eat. I decided to check my weight and I lost 11 kgs. I didn't even realise that I had lost so much weight because I did not step out of the house and wore clothes which I wear at home like shorts, t-shirts. We all were shocked.”

2. She Sticks With It

When it comes to weight loss, Shah is consistent. She tells Times of India that she kept motivating herself to work hard. “I told myself, if I can lose 11 kgs then I can get rid of one more. In the last month, I lost two kilos. I was always 56 kgs, now I am 58.”

3. She’s Confident

Shah isn’t going to let her age or profession stop her from feeling confident in herself. She tells TellyChakkar that she’s still confident with herself, and is still showing off her body. “There is this mindset that once a woman becomes a mother, she can’t do bold photoshoots,” she says. “This country is known for its strong women. Why are you telling us to sit at home just because we are mothers?”

4. She Uses Clothes To Motivate Herself

One thing Shah did to motivate herself was buy smaller clothes. “I would wear a 4 size dress, but when I gained weight in December I would not fit in 4 and not even 6. I was fitting into 8 sizes and the large size L became my size. I went to a mall to buy winter clothes because we don't have cold weather here. So, I had not carried a sweater. When I went to buy a sweater, I realised that I had to buy sweaters which were L. I was so upset that I did not buy warm clothes and a sweater in that cold weather. I went and bought all the small 4 sizes. I told myself that I won't wear it this year, but I will make sure to wear it soon. I kept that as a mark. I told myself I eat too much and now I have to look after myself. I came back around Christmas and Krushna also told me let the New Year's go then start. Then we started from January 3. Krushna also started dieting with me.”

5. She Doesn’t Care About Others Opinions

Shah has a lot of confidence, and she doesn’t care what other people say about her. She tells TellyChakkar, “I am not going to let some silly 14-year-old or 24-year-old with their mother’s phone run me down or shake my confidence. I was like this at 19, 29, 39 and today at 49, I am proud to give myself another chance. I am also happy that I am going back to Bigg Boss, it marks my comeback.”

Kashmera Shah is 50 and fit! The Indian actress celebrated the monumental birthday by showing off her fabulous figure in a swimsuit. “A milestone birthday today and my only advice to those who are decades and miles behind me in age as well as spirit… Never Grow Old…Just Age Beautifully,” she wrote. “The less you think of what others think of you the more it will show on your face and body. Love you all my fans and friends. Wait for the next few years for more sinful pictures and even more kickass work in films. And thank u to my husband @krushna30 for always supporting my ambition and always letting me be comfortable with my enviable body ( yes I say it myself as I think we don’t tell ourselves enough how much we love us) Good Luck to the next 50 years.” How does the star manage to look half her age?

1. She Gained Weight Due to IVF

Kashmera explained to The Times of India that she gained weight when undergoing IVF. “I stopped looking after myself,” she admitted. She started eating “anything and at odd times” and failing to exercise. “The entire focus got shifted,” she continued. She ignored herself until January 2020, when she stepped on the scale and realized she had put on over 26 pounds.

2. She Worked with a Nutritionist

Kashmera revealed that her IVF doctor put her in touch with a nutritionist in early January 2020. “So, I started my diet and workout regime,” she continued. During the lockdown she fell into a depression and started losing even more weight. She even started to eat less in fear that she would run out of food due to supply chain issues.

3. Cooking Helped Her Lose Weight

Kashmera found a new hobby during the pandemic. “I started cooking during the lockdown which I have never done. I started cooking healthy food and Krushna started losing weight because of me,” she said about her husband. “I began eating healthy food, smaller portions and suddenly in October I checked my weight.” She discovered she had lost 24 pounds. “I didn't even realise that I had lost so much weight because I did not step out of the house and wore clothes which I wear at home like shorts, t-shirts. We all were shocked.” She went on to lose over four more pounds.

4. It’s All About Discipline

Kashmera believes her weight loss all boiled down to setting goals and actively achieving them. “I realised that discipline is everything,” she explained.

5. The Buddy System Also Helped Her

Kashmera maintains that her weight loss journey motivated her husband as well. “I told him very clearly to eat whatever you want to eat at night, but during the day you will eat what I give you,” she said. As a result, he lost over 15 pounds.

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday, Sis!” commented Kelly Hu. Many others, including Nicky Whelan, simply added lots of fire emojis. How does the 56-year-old stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Tia Carrere 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 Pay as Much Attention to Food and Exercise as She Did In Her 20s

Tia has explained that her approach to diet and fitness has evolved over the year. “Being 23 and doing Wayne’s World in those short tight dresses and bikinis, I had to pay more attention to food and exercise. I was never unhealthy about it or obsessed, but just aware of what I wanted to look like on film. A 23-year-old metabolism certainly helped though!” she confessed to InBetween. When her role as Lady Danger in AJ and the Queen came along, she “was over the moon” that she “could be who I am right now at this time in my life,” she added. “I’m more voluptuous in my look and the way I express myself. It was liberating being fully myself without feeling self-conscious at all. Meanwhile, my male co-star was on a strict diet and exercise plan for those abs he was showing all the time! Hilarious!”

2. She Believes Inner Beauty Trumps All

What is Tia’s message to her teenage daughter? “I am always trying to reinforce the thought that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and that confidence is the most attractive part. Unfortunately, we live in a time of social media and hyper-focus on the image we project in the world. No matter what I say or how many times I say it, she will have to navigate this time in her own way. Adolescence is such a fraught time and now with media, it’s almost too much pressure for these kids,” she told InBetween.

3. She Doesn’t Want to Be a “Plastic Surgery Victim”

Tia is embracing the aging process. "When I was first starting, I was just thankful. Being an attractive, young female certainly afforded you some luxuries. People will see you, they are drawn to you. But then as time goes on, as you transition from your 20s to 30s and then 40s and 50s, there are treacherous waters that you need to navigate,” she said in an interview. "If you only value yourself for your physical beauty and youth, you’re going to be lost. Because as time marches on, you can never be the girl that you were now that you’re a woman years later. You have to create a life, and you have to find joy and fulfillment outside of that identity. That’s why you do see these plastic surgery victims – they’re eternally chasing 28. You have to leave that. You have to mature and grow and find fulfillment elsewhere."

4. She “Knows What Works for Her”

In August, Carrere explained to Yahoo Life’s "Unapologetically" that posting bikini photos on social media wasn’t her thing. "I would love to get into amazing shape to show a bikini picture, but I prefer one-pieces anyway," she said. "I know what works for me and I know what works for my body and what makes me feel comfortable. I could become a triathlete and go, ‘You know what? I can’t believe I have a 12-pack for the first time in my life,’ and maybe I would want to celebrate that with a bikini picture. But, as of yet, I haven’t gotten to that point."

5. She Is “Comfortable” in Her Skin

Tia told Yahoo that she is "comfortable” in her skin. "I’ve done incredibly well with maintaining a balanced mind, body and spirit for having been in this business for almost 40 years now. And unfortunately, we’ve all seen the carnage along the way. It’s very, very difficult when you’re the product not to take it personally when your stock goes up or down, when people take nasty potshots at you, as they can with easy access now with social media. You really, really have to work on your internal core strength so that the marketplace doesn’t dictate whether you’re happy with yourself,” she said.

2. She Accepts Herself As She Gets Older

Kapoor says that one of her wellness secrets is being comfortable with herself. She says that she has developed this confidence as she got older and more sure of herself. “I was obsessed with my body when I was in my twenties,” she says to Vogue. “The beauty about getting older is that you start accepting yourself with all your flaws.”

3. She Does Yoga

Kapoor is a big fan of practicing yoga at home as a way to stay in shape. She posted this set of photos on Instagram of herself doing a side pose and a tree pose on her mat.

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.”
