Kavita Kaushik, most famously known as Chandramukhi Chautala from F.I.R., and from Bigg Boss 14, has the right attitude toward life. As a certified yoga instructor, she not only has a Zen perspective but looks great in a swimsuit by the pool. “Be done with what u don't like, not jealous or angry! Just done🙂” she wrote on a video of just that. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kavita Kaushik 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 Licensed Yoga Instructor

Kavita is a Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher and Owner of Aparna Aunty's Ayurvedic homemade beauty secrets. “The fountain of youth, wellness and overall health is yoga and if you are lucky yoga will change your life by changing YOU . Look forward to change as that’s the only permanent truth,” she has said. In one study, Kundalini Yoga "practice had an immediate effect on salivary cortisol….a significant decrease of perceived stress in the study group was found.” Another study showed Kundalini Yoga "resulted in lower levels of anxiety relative to the treatment-as-usual condition.”

2. She Believes in Ayurvedic Herbs

“You are real, you are raw and unique, you are beautiful, yes you have some damaged parts but only you are going to heal yourself,” she has said, regarding her Aparna Aunty's Ayurvedic secrets. The Ayurvedic herbs have healing properties, she says. Ayurvedic herbs can heal; ashwagandha, for example, can calm you. “The serum cortisol levels were substantially reduced in the Ashwagandha group, relative to the placebo group. The adverse effects were mild in nature and were comparable in both the groups. No serious adverse events were reported,” says one study.

3. She Shows Off Her Hard Work

Kaushik showed off one post-workout photo. “So ! It took just a bit of discipline and sweat and help from a dear friend who taught me few different asanas to get rid of the flaws here n there BUT mainly because I think happy and feel happy ! Now, those who write crap in comments pehle kutch aisa kar ke dikhaao jissey you feel proud of urself n then spread your negative energy or don’t na , it takes lesser to be a positive n lovable person ! AND !!! I’m not done , this body is not even half way of what I’m aiming to achieve!!! So! Watch this space for more fun and motivation maybe 😬🧘‍♀️🐒 #yogasehoga #yogi #love #sweat #milestogo #nofoodisworththis

4. She Thinks We’re Defined by Milestones

“What makes each of us unique, different from each other? Isn't it the milestones in life that we step into? Each milestone, where we are at a crossroads and we have to take strong decisions—it brings about a change in our life. And our actions then define the course of our life, our destiny, they shape us into who we are and who we can become. And I think it is those milestones where there's a voice that we hear, a voice that echoes from within us that sometimes screams, sometimes pleads, asks us, asks the universe: What now?” she asked in her inspiring TED Talk.

5. She Will Keep Getting Up

“I stand here today, far from perfect, in fact, heavily flawed, stumbling, falling each day, but getting up with immense gratitude for this life full of ups and downs, failures and success, victories and defeats, fame and embarrassment, peace and unrest, everything,” she said in her TED Talk. “Every mistake that teaches me till today to work on them and become better than what I was yesterday. I have gratitude in realizing that everything that happened in my life—my school, my college, every little thing—has given me a chance to carve myself (I'm not saying I'm very well carved) but I'm just saying that I make a promise to myself that I'll never drop the chisel down till I breathe my last. I'll keep carving on myself. I'll keep reinventing. I'll keep falling. I'll keep getting up. I promise never to hold anybody else responsible for my bad and take the responsibility of all the wrong with the right in my life. And most importantly, I promise to not be fearful of that voice that echoes periodically, but embrace it each time it echoes from within me saying, ‘What now?’”

1. She Got A Wakeup Call

Sinha opens up about her health and wellness secrets in an interview with Times of India. She says that she was inspired to lose weight when she first went to the gym at 18. “When I got on the treadmill, I couldn’t run for more than 30 seconds! I was huffing and puffing! That’s when I decided to lose weight. Not because I wanted to be an actor, but because I knew it was needed.”

2. She Doesn’t Stress About Food

When it comes to her diet, Sinha tells the Times of India that she doesn’t like to stress over it. She says that she eats what she wants to eat. “Like, if you want to make an omelette, make an omelette, but don’t be like, ‘Oh God, the egg has to be the perfect shape and this specific colour! Don’t obsess over these things! If you want to make an omelette, just go make it!”

3. She Doesn’t Let Trolls Get To Her

Entertainment India NovemberProdip Guha/Getty images

Sinha unfortunately has been subjected to harsh trolling throughout her career. Most of the comments were about her weight and body. Sinha says to the Times of India that she is learning to ignore those comments. “Eventually, I told myself that I wouldn’t let them bring me down because they had no idea what I had been through, how hard I had worked to get here. And, in the end, it really didn’t matter what they thought. They were not the ones in a big-ticket Bollywood film, I was.”

4. She Spends Time Outside

Sinha is a big fan of spending time outside. She posts several videos and photos on Instagram of herself enjoying the great outdoors. Sinha posted this video of herself spending time on the farm, where she is petting horses. She captioned the post, “If this isn’t a happy place, I don’t know what is. Spent my day off really well!”

In an ETimes interview, Gupta spoke out against racism and white supremacy. "Some Indians have the mindset where we think like white supremacy. Americans are fighting it.

When I work out, you might often see me without shoes unless I am doing cardio exercises.”

4. She Cuts Out Certain Things

Entertainment India - August 2022Prodip Guha/Getty Images

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’s Vegetarian

Gupta tells Gulf News that she adopts a vegetarian diet. “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.”

1. She Once Wanted to Change Who She Was

INDIA-ENTERTAINMENT-CINEMA-BOLLYWOODSUJIT JAISWAL/AFP via Getty Images

When she was younger, “I just wanted to change who I was. I wanted to be somebody else. I just didn't like who I was. I just decided that, you know, why do I have this hair? Or why do I have this, these lips? So why do I have this body? Why can't I just look like everyone else? And just be a part? And I didn't want to stand out. I wanted to fit in.” One worry? “I used to never put on the light in my bathroom. My bathroom would be dark because I didn't wanna look at my skin,” she told Pinkvilla.

2. Be Humble and Turn Vulnerability Into a Strength

Entertainment India - March 2022Getty Images

Gupta eventually found strength in her feelings. “If you lose touch of humility in your life, everything can go south,” she told Pinkvilla. On the other hand, “Sometimes when you think that your vulnerability is a weakness, it's actually your strength.”

3. She Played Tennis

“I was playing professional tennis. Of course it would play on my mind. Am I doing the right thing for my skin? Will I start looking a certain way? Uh, and at the same time, will I just become so muscular or just become so sort of heavy that, you know, I don't have any femininity left in my body. All of those thoughts came to my mind, but I never wanted to give up my sport because of it,” she told Pinkvilla. She finally gave it up to look after her mental health.

4. She Trusts Her Gut

“In my head, being authentic and being yourself is the most powerful thing a person can do. It is also very liberating. But at the same time, when you’re sitting in a room full of people sometimes, they might not appreciate that, might take it for granted or they might look at you and not take you seriously, and think you are a frivolous person or judge you. Yes, people can judge you for the emotions you have. I am a very emotional person myself. I’ve spent my whole life taking decisions based on my gut and my emotions,” she said, according to HealthShots.

5. She Promotes Self-Love

“Self-love is something that happens when you’re not looking. It’s not one of those things that you decide, ‘Okay, I am going to love myself today’, and it will happen tomorrow. It’s a way of life, it’s a course correction where you say to yourself, ‘Each time I lose track of why I love myself, I have to remind myself,'” she told HealthShots.

So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa...

She Runs

She captioned the post, “Decided to seas the day!” Better Health says that running is very beneficial. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits.

Natasa Stankovic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Wednesday Challenge"

Stankovic shares her go-to workout moves, from squats to lunges, cardio, Pilates, and strength training.

Entertainment India - March 2023

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
