Bollywood superstar Preity Zinta is giving fans a glimpse at her workout routine. Zinta, 49, shared a video of herself wearing black leggings and a purple shirt, using a reformer machine. “Getting back my groove, balance and flexibility with an amazing class of Hot Pilates. I love to try different things to stay fit but pilates is always my favourite. Thank you so much @shannonnadj for pushing me & inspiring me to work out, specially after the jet lag and stiffness🙏 I was having a tough time when we started but I ended the class feeling strong and energetic. Here’s to loving yourself and taking care of your body ❤️ If any of you are struggling to get started, start now as it’s never too late,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the actress and entrepreneur is living her best life.
Fitness Mantra
Zinta mixes it up with indoor and outdoor workouts. “I love doing yoga, weight training, pilates and sports training,” she told Indulgexpress. “My fitness mantra is straightforward. Eat healthy and clean food. Eat everything, but portion control is very important, and never starve or go on crash diets. Where working out is concerned, it’s essential to stretch before and after a workout, it’s also important to drink lots of water, stay hydrated, and be consistent with your workouts. So, don’t work out one day for two hours and then not work out the whole week. It’s better to work out for 40 minutes a day, but at least work out five times a week.”
Style Philosophy
Zinta loves to express herself through fashion. “My style philosophy is to keep it simple and stay true to who I am. Your best accessory should be your positive attitude, your confidence, and your smile,” she told Indulgexpress. “Besides that, the way a garment is cut is very important to me. I like the sophistication and structure of my clothes. My mood, how I feel, and the occasion or event I have to go to, often dictate what I wear. One should wear clothes and not the other way round.

Zinta focuses on a simple, sensible approach to health and beauty. “This whole thing of ‘don’t eat,’ it’s not fitness,” she told Vogue. “Portion control is very important, there is nothing more anti-ageing and healthy than working out and oh, sleep is very important.”
Indian and Western Movies
Zinta enjoys the cultural differences from making both Indian and European/American movies. “I think the thing that differentiates us the most is music in our films,” she told L'Officiel Monaco. “Music has always been a strong part of our culture and how we express ourselves. Besides that our stories mostly revolve around family, love and social issues. We don’t have too many science fiction films as compared to the West. Some of our films are very larger-than-life, escapist, and tailored for an audience that wants to go to a theatre to forget their life and situation and just be entertained. They want to see a larger than life world, full of hero’s and infinite possibilities far away from reality.”
The Next Step
Zinta is looking forward to exciting new projects in the near future. “I want to do roles that excite me, that are thought provoking & can be a beacon of hope to people today,” she told L'Officiel Monaco. “I would also love to do a lot more of comedy, Action, and whatever moves me when I read the script.”
