Just say no to diets, says Priyanka. "I don't really have a diet. I wing it by the seat of my pants," she explained to ELLE. "It's such a girl thing to do, like if I feel, 'Ughh, I put on a few pounds' and I feel gross about [myself] I suddenly start eating salad, protein, and soup. Otherwise, if I am feeling like I am in great shape I am okay with cheeseburgers and pizza. So, when someone asks me about my diet I feel terrible saying that I don't really have one."

2. Drink Lots of Liquids

Priyanka told the Times of India that "juices and water are very high on my intake list. In fact, water is a must for everyone, at least 10 glasses a day. I often overshoot that, but it does wonders to your skin,” she said about her hydration goals.

3. Try Jump Roping

Priyanka jumps her way to a fantastic figure. "I love skipping. I learnt it really really well in school and then I learnt it even better during Mary Kom, so I try to get my cardio in my skipping. It's easy to carry, you have your skipping rope in your bag, it's easy to do,” she revealed in an interview.

4. Don’t Eat Too Late

"I never worked out as consistently as I have during quarantine," Priyanka admitted to People. "I also pay attention to my diet.” One of the major changes she made? Eliminating late night eating. “I was very used to eating dinner right before I went to bed, but I changed that completely. I try not to eat after 8 o’clock. I start my day with some exercise, and I make sure I’m drinking lots of water."

5. Take Care of Yourself

"If you have the ability to look out for your well-being, you also have the ability to look out for your family and friend's well-being," she said about prioritizing self-care. "If you are inherently happy inside and you're investing in yourself and taking care of your own self, that's truly what wellness means.”

6. Don’t Obsess Over Exercise

Priyanka doesn’t work out daily. “Honestly, I work out only when I need to. My body responds very quickly to exercise, so I don’t need too long to tone up and get into shape," she explained to Vogue India. “I want to hit the gym but I work 15-hour days and I’m exhausted by the end of it.”

Priyanka Chopra is on the cover of the February 2022 issue of Vanity Fair, getting up close and personal about her life in the interview. Aside from looking absolutely gorgeous in the photos, the star’s inner beauty truly shines in the pages of the magazine. What did the 39-year-old have to say?

1. She Isn’t Comfortable with Social Media

While Priyanka is active on social media, it is still a little uncomfortable for her. “It’s a very vulnerable feeling, actually, that if I post a picture, everything that’s behind me in that picture is going to be zoomed in on, and people are going to speculate,” she said. “It’s just a professional hazard…. Because of the noise of social media, because of the prevalence that it has in our lives, I think it seems a lot larger than it is. I think that we give it a lot more credence in real life, and I don’t think it needs that.”

2. She and Joe Jonas Want Kids

Yes, Priyanka and her husband, Joe Jonas, have babies on the mind. “They’re a big part of our desire for the future,” she revealed. “By God’s grace, when it happens, it happens.” And, even though their lives are full, they are still trying. “No, we’re not too busy to practice,” she says. When the time is right, will she be ready to settle down into motherhood? “I’m okay with that,” she maintained. “We’re both okay with that.”

3. She Is a “Worker Bee”

“I’ve always been such a worker bee,” Priyanka confessed in the interview. “My priority has always been the next job. I’m a very, very ambitious person. But I think the woman in me is craving balance. I’m craving my family life. I’m craving being able to do things for the soul that I didn’t do because I was just ‘blinders on’ and working.”

4. She Is Becoming More Introverted

Priyanka is “becoming a lot more introverted” as her journey continues in the entertainment business. “I’m starting to protect myself a lot more because I realize how much it takes out of you. It takes a part of your soul, constantly trying to make sure that you say the right thing, do the right thing, dress the right way, not make a mistake, not trip because the whole world is going to watch. Or not fall when you’re walking up on a red carpet or say something wrong,” she said.

5. 2022 Is Going to Be Her Reinvention Year

According to Priyanka, 2022 is going to be a year of change. “I feel like I am at a precipice of reinvention,” she said. “What is the new me? I’m very excited about the future. I’m terrified of it too. Change is always scary. But I’ve done it multiple times in my life.” One of the things she want to do? Prioritize self care. “That’s what I want to do. By the time this piece comes out, that’s what I will be doing.”

With so many awesome roles to play—in The White Tiger, The Matrix Resurrections, a new show Citadel, being Nick Jonas’ real-life wife—it’s surprising Priyanka Chopra has any downtime. But she carved out a space this weekend. “Sundays like this tho…” she captioned an Instagram photo, with a heart emoji. She’s seen lying down in a black bikini top and red bikini bottom; in another photo, she’s on her belly in the same outfit, as hubby Nick pretends to carve into her with a knife and fork. The caption: “Snack.” Read on to see 5 ways Priyanka Chopra 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 Bikini Photos!

1. She Aims to Own Her Own Personality

“The pressures on women around the world, I think, are the same: the reach of trying to look like perfection, which is not possible for real women,” she told Vogue. “I don’t think it’s just America or India at all, [the ideal of] being impossibly skinny or having impossibly perfect skin. What is very important for women is to own who you are and accept who you are and run with that. To be able to own your own personality is one of the most difficult things on the planet because we are inundated by these extreme, unachievable ideologies of what beauty should be. But I think true beauty really comes from having a sense of confidence—that you walk into a room and people wonder why you’re so confident. I think that makes for intrigue.”

2. She Preserves Herself

“In everyday life, we wake up in the morning and go for our jobs. Nobody has the luxury to spend time taking care of their hair or their skin or giving it a regimen, right? I don’t have time to get a facial. I don’t have time to go to the spa and get my body wrapped in seaweed or whatever. I don’t get deep-conditioning treatments,” she told Vogue. “That’s why my shampoo is awesome. It’s important for us to have products that give us the ability of looking like we’ve just stepped out of a salon. It’s really important to find things that protect and preserve us how we want to be protected and preserved. Like, for example, drinking as much water as you can and staying hydrated, or trying to eat foods that are [rich] in antioxidants, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator—things that you can build into your life to take care of yourself.”

3. She Has Said She Doesn’t Diet

"I don't really have a diet. I wing it by the seat of my pants," she told ELLE US. "It's such a girl thing to do, like if I feel, 'Ughh, I put on a few pounds' and I feel gross about [myself] I suddenly start eating salad, protein, and soup. Otherwise, if I am feeling like I am in great shape I am okay with cheeseburgers and pizza. So, when someone asks me about my diet I feel terrible saying that I don't really have one." "You don't have to starve yourself," Chopra told Women's Health. "I love having my pizzas and burgers and buffalo wings, on the side, for sure."

4. She Stays Super Agile

“Honestly, I work out only when I need to. My body responds very quickly to exercise, so I don’t need too long to tone up and get into shape," she told Vogue India. “I want to hit the gym but I work 15-hour days and I’m exhausted by the end of it,” she told Vogue India. “I have to stay super active and agile because I do my own stunts. I do all my fights myself. I trust my body and my instincts,” she confirmed. “I try to be active in everyday life—I take the stairs instead of the elevators or walk instead of driving,” she shared.

5. She Has Done Yoga

“I also do yoga and find it both relaxing and very energizing,” she told the India Times. “It’s great to keep your mind and body healthy. It’s definitely something I would recommend. My gym work-outs usually last for about an hour.” Says the Mayo Clinic: "Since yoga is based on breathing, parts of the nervous system are affected when exhales are lengthened and breath is controlled. This is cued throughout particular yoga sequences. Specifically, yoga can help lower the fight-or-flight response and improve the body's 'rest-and-digest' response. Practicing slow, controlled breathing stimulates the body's vagus nerve, which takes information about the current state of relaxation and relays it to the rest of the body, including the brain."

Priyanka Chopra is celebrating “Throwback Thursday” on Instagram. And the memory she chose to revisit is a gorgeous one. In her most recent post, Chopra shared a photo of herself posing on a beach. In it, she wore a leopard bikini, with her abs on display, and her hair flowing in the wind. She captioned the photo, “Circa November 2000. Presenting my 18 year old ‘smolder.’” How does she stay so fit?

Chopra has played a lot of roles in action films and TV shows. She tells Vogue that she does a lot of her own stuntwork in these roles. “I have to stay super active and agile because I do my own stunts. I do all my fights myself. I trust my body and my instincts.”

1. She Uses Organic Skincare Products

Chopra has amazing skin, and shared her secrets in an interview with IntoTheGloss. She says that she loves to use organic products on her skin. “Lemon or lime in water is really great for skin,” Chopra revealed. “Coconut water, too. I had troubled skin, but I never had acne. My skin just didn’t glow much, so I learned early that what I eat really matters. In India, people love turmeric. They make turmeric milk, and sometimes I mix it with some cream or yogurt and turn it into a scrub. You’d be amazed at what it can take off your skin.”

2. She Cleanses

Chopra tells IntoTheGloss that cleansing is a crucial part of her skincare routine.“My skin is being 'traumatized' all the time with all this makeup, which is why cleansing is supremely important. Obviously if you don’t abuse your skin the way I do, then it’s not that bad. What I do in the morning, especially before a shoot, is wash my face. Sometimes I use Chanel's Lait Confort, which is really great for your skin. People don’t know this, but just like I take yogurt and use it as an exfoliator, I can also use it to cleanse my face. It’s hydrating. It smells funky, so you should do it at night, but it's amazing if you have dry skin.”

3. She Does Oil Massages

Chopra has amazing hair, and shared her haircare secrets in her IntoTheGloss interview. “I also do oil massages on my head. You put coconut oil on your roots and just massage. It’s a very old Indian tradition, even though coconut oil is just catching on in the States. It helps create healthy hair, but you have to wash it off with another conditioner after about an hour. You can get it done at spas, too.”

4. She Doesn’t Force Herself To Do Things

Chopra makes sure to work out, however, that doesn’t always mean working out on a regular basis. She tells Vogue that she doesn’t want to push herself too hard when it comes to fitness. “Honestly, I work out only when I need to. My body responds very quickly to exercise, so I don’t need too long to tone up and get into shape. I want to hit the gym but I work 15-hour days and I’m exhausted by the end of it.”

5. She Jumps Rope

Chopra does a lot of traveling, and she revealed in an interview that she one of her favorite workouts is something she can do on the road. “I love skipping. I learnt it really well in school and then I learnt it even better during Mary Kom, so I try to get my cardio in by skipping. It’s easy to carry, you have your skipping rope in your bag, it’s easy to do.”
