1. She Transformed For A Role

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

Chandna opened up about her diet to Times Of India. She says that she believes in eating a balanced diet. "I used to eat bhakhri, rice, veggies, chicken and fish. I also consumed jowar bhakhris. I kept away from junk food but I had my 'cheat' days when I used to go out and eat pav bhaji and pizza. The idea was to be physically active and run around a lot, eat in small proportions than totally deprive yourself."

4. She Stays Consistent

When Chandna isn’t on set doing stunts, she still makes time to workout. She shared some of her favorite exercises to Times Of India. "I am thankful that I achieved my fitness goals playing a Naagin,” she says. “I have time on hand. I will again go back to doing my zumba and pilates to maintain my fitness levels."

5. She Swims

Malla spends a lot of time in the water. She likes to go swimming all over the world. Malla posts a lot of videos on YouTube of herself swimming in different places. Malla posted this video from Goa. She also shared this video of herself at the beach from Dubai. The Mayo Clinic reports, “Water’s buoyancy supports your weight. When you’re submersed up to your neck, the water cancels out about 90 percent of your body weight, significantly reducing stress on your weight-bearing joints, bones and muscles. Instead of landing on a hard surface with the impact of your full weight, you land with only 10 percent of your bodyweight. This reduces risk of injury.”

3. She Works Out Her Abs

Malla makes sure to workout her abs. She shared some of her favorite abs exercises in this YouTube video. In it, Malla does mountain climbers, bicycle crunches, and holds a plank. Malla also posted this longer ab workout on YouTube. In it, she does things like leg raises, crunch twists, and heel touches.

Malla works out her entire body. Including her back. She shared this video on YouTube of herself doing back exercises. In it, Malla is seen running for ten minutes, squats and squat jumps, and doing foot fires. She also uses weights to do press outs in a squat and tricep curls.

5. She Loves Yoga

Malla likes to practice yoga to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on YouTube of herself doing hot yoga. Harvard Health states that yoga has a lot of benefits. “Yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body. It's not about physical appearance.”

Indian actress Kate Sharma is enjoying a magical trip to the island of Koh Samui, Thailand. Sharma shared a reel of herself swimming in a beautiful pool, wearing a bright pink swimsuit and sarong, with palms and blue skies in the background. “Poolside paradise 😍,” she captioned the post. 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. Fresh Lime Soda

Sharma’s go-to drink is fresh lime soda. “Limes are packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients," says Carly Sedlacek RDN, LD. “Limes are low in calories, high in micronutrients and punch above their weight with regard to both water and fiber content. They’re really good for us, but most of us aren’t going to make a snack of them. The juice — without added sugar — is the best we can do.”

2. Running Outside

Sharma loves running outside, especially at the beach. “There’s good evidence that spending time outside can reduce stress, depression levels, and anxiety,” says Josh Lawler, a UW environmental & forest sciences professor. “We suspect that one of the routes for the physical benefits is through [the] decreased stress and anxiety.”

3. She Chooses Happiness

Sharma says she chooses happiness in her personal life. “I don't date much but I have had rough patches in relationships. Ups and down are part of life and moving on is an art of life,” she says. “Break ups were there but that all made me so strong and I am a girl who looks at the broader aspect in life. So pain was there but feeling the pain and being sad is a choice.

So I chose happiness. It took time to heal but today I learned happiness is the most important thing in this world.”

4. Bathing Beauty

Sharma loves to take baths. “Taking a bath has great physical and mental health benefits,” says family medicine provider Amy Zack, MD. “Soaking in a tub is something many people have access to but don’t take advantage of enough. But it can be beneficial for a lot of people.”

5. She Is an Artist

When it comes to her career, Sharma loves the benefits creativity brings to her life. “Artist is an artist, no matter where he/she performs," she says. "It’s always a pack of feelings and entertainment which we have to give to the audience. Films and music videos both tell a story. The only difference is that films are on a larger scale in every form, while music videos take less time but require the same level of consistency and hard work as an artist."

1. She Tried Ice Baths

As you could see in her Instagram post, Koechlin decided to try the popular method of ice baths as a way of muscle recovery. While Koechlin didn’t spend too much time in the bath, she did still get some form of healing. Ice baths have a lot of benefits, according to AceFitness.org. “Cold water immersion (CWI) is frequently used as a viable method to recover from an exercise-training session or competitive performance because it is believed to aid in lessening muscle fatigue and soreness, and, ultimately, reducing the overall time needed for recovery.”

2. She Spends Time Outside

Koechlin loves to spend time outside, and she loves to post photos of her adventures on Instagram. She likes to swim in the pool, sunbathe, and hang out at the farm. Spending time outside has a lot of health benefits. According to the CDC, “The outdoors offers many opportunities to be physically active.

Koechlin is open about being a feminist. She tells Programme Eve that she wants to help fix some of the inequalities that women face in the acting world. “I think that the glass ceiling is an issue in all industries. The film industry is no exception, especially when it comes to gender parity. And it’s not just in Bollywood – even in Hollywood, women are paid less than men for doing the same job.”

4. She Grew Up In A Free Household

Koechlin opened up about her childhood in her Programme Eve interview. She says that her parents never imposed any gender stereotypes or religion on her. She thinks that this has helped her become the person she is today, and advocates for gender equality. “I grew up in a household where I wasn’t imposed on religion or a way of thinking. I was supposed to make my own decisions and find my own path. At home, I was treated the same way as my brother, and we were given the same importance. I was taught to change tires and bulbs, my brother was taught to help out in the kitchen, and we grew up with shared responsibilities.”

5. She Looks Out For Others

Koechlin tells Programme Eve that she thinks it is important to look out for other women. “And women – clearly it’s in our best interest to look after each other! If we don’t start helping ourselves and each other out, we can’t wait on the men to do it for us. We have to lead the way. I’ve always believed that the sisterhood, the idea of sharing women’s stories, understanding other women, knowing that you are not alone is very empowering.”

Rakul Preet Singh is best known as the Bollywood star of films like De De Pyaar De and Nannaku Permatho, but she could also probably get a gig as a yoga instructor if it came to that. The woman knows what she’s doing! And the results pay off for mind and body, as made clear by the swimsuit photo she just shared. “Smile away !! It’s free therapy💕💕 #islandlife 🏝” it said. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways Rakul Preet Singh 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 Does a Lot of Yoga

Rakul Preet Singh does yoga, and frequently shares her practice online. “Just flow,” she captioned one video of her doing a Cobra pose. To do Cobra, “you lie on the floor on your stomach with your legs straight and your toes pointed. Put your hands next to your chest on the floor. Inhale and keep your hands lightly on the floor. Lift your head, shoulders and upper back. Squeeze your buttocks and engage your core to help support your back. Hold for five breaths. Then exhale and bring your body back down to the floor. Repeat,” says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Loves Inversions

“#happyinternationalyogaday to all of you,” she once wrote. “I was never a yoga person until I did a class with @anshukayoga . These inversions have been life altering. My world is perfect when I hang upside down ..internal peace , happiness , calm and recovery from injuries . Thankuuu @anshukayoga.” Positioning your body downward that can lead to lymphatic drainage and other benefits. “Results from this study show that yogic practices enhance muscular strength and body flexibility, promote and improve respiratory and cardiovascular function, promote recovery from and treatment of addiction, reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, improve sleep patterns, and enhance overall well-being and quality of life,” according to one journal. To put it another way: “When life turns upside down simply adjust your view,” she has said.

3. She Loves a Good Stretch

“Choose stretching over stressing,” Rakul Preet Singh has said. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage,” says Harvard Health.

4. She Relaxes With Yoga Nidra

“Yoga nidra involves slowing down and chilling out. So does meditation. While some people tend to lump them together, they really are two different practices,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “Yoga nidra is like meditation, but yet it’s not,” says yoga therapist and yoga program manager, Judi Bar. “There are overlaps, but there also are key differences. With yoga nidra, you are lying down and the goal is to move into a deep state of conscious awareness sleep, which is a deeper state of relaxation with awareness. This state involves moving from consciousness while awake to dreaming and then to not-dreaming while remaining awake — going past the unconscious to the conscious.”

5. She Brinks Barley Water

"Thinking how to beat the summer heat?” Rakul Preet Singh asked once, and then recommended barley water. Any kind of water is great for you, as long as it’s unsweetened. “Drinking water can help your:

• Blood: Water ensures that your blood is just the right consistency to carry oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood to the areas that need it, including your brain, heart, kidneys and muscles.
• Joints: Think of your joints like the gears of your car. They need to be well-lubricated to work and last.
• Kidneys: Drinking adequate amounts of water can prevent kidney damage and disorders,” says the Cleveland Clinic.
