1. Yoga Every Day

Bhalekar says yoga and martial arts are a daily constant in her exercise routine. “Yoga is a very important part of my life, I start my day with basic yoga and lots of stretching,” she says. “It helps me calm down because the entire day is very hectic, especially with shooting. In the afternoon I go to the gym, maybe in the evening I go to the gym. In the entire day, I have to go and practice my martial arts.”

2. Eggs For Breakfast

Bhalekar enjoys milk, egg whites, and almonds for breakfast. “Eggs are a good source of protein (both whites/yolk). They also contain heart-healthy unsaturated fats and are a great source of important nutrients, such as vitamin B6, B12 and vitamin D,” says Kurt Hong, MD, an internal medicine specialist at Keck Medicine of USC.

3. Lentils and Rice For Lunch

Bhalekar’s lunch usually consists of rice and lentils. "Lentils are rich in fiber, folate and potassium making them a great choice for the heart and for managing blood pressure and cholesterol," says nutritionist Kerry Torrens. "They are also a source of energizing iron and vitamin B1 which helps maintain a steady heartbeat."

4. Protein Before a Shoot

Bhalekar is extra-careful about her diet before a shoot, focusing on quality protein (like chicken), juices, and fruit. “So many women I work with are not eating nearly enough protein to maintain their muscle mass, let alone build it,’ says Dr. Shawna Darou. “The bare minimum amount of required protein is 1 gram/kg of (ideal) body weight, but I would argue that this often falls too short. To put your body in a state of building muscle or protein synthesis, you may need to reach more than 100 grams of protein per day, which is approximately 20-25% of your daily calories.”

5. Light Dinner

Bhalekar likes to keep dinner light, avoiding carbs and fruit before bedtime. "You have this internal biological clock that makes you better at doing different things at different times of the day,” says Courtney Peterson, an associate professor of nutrition sciences at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. “It seems like the best time for your metabolism in most people is the mid- to late morning... Your body processes calories differently when you eat late in the day. It tips the scale in favor of weight gain and fat gain.”

1. She Once Wanted to Change Who She Was

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

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.
