1. Swimming

Those cute swimsuits aren’t just for show—Lahiri enjoys swimming. Water activities are a great way to get low-impact, joint-friendly exercise. “It doesn’t just have to be swimming,” says Erik Van Iterson, PhD, MS, Director of Cardiac Rehabilitation at Cleveland Clinic. “You can take a water aerobics class or water walking in both shallow and deep-water.”

2. Animal Lover

Lahiri loves animals, especially her dog. Studies show bonding with a pet offers many physical and mental health benefits. “Research shows that pets can lower blood pressure, reduce stress, raise blood oxytocin levels, and, in some cases, may reduce direct pain,” according to Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine.

3. Professional Dancer

Lahiri is an accomplished dancer. “Dancing is accessible to everybody,” says Dr. Lauren Elson from the Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Rehabilitation Network. “People who can’t stand can use the rest of their body while seated, people who have lost movement in their arms can dance with their torso and legs. It’s a way to connect to your own body, to music, and to other people. It just depends on whatever your goals are. But we know that there are so many benefits of dancing — cognitive, physical, and social — that it merits consideration by everybody.”

4. Home Cooking

Lahiri loves to cook at home. “We already know that the more people cook at home, the healthier their diet, the fewer calories they consume, and the less likely they are to be obese or develop type 2 diabetes,” say Monique Tello, MD, MPH, and Rani Polak, MD, Chef, MBA. “A growing body of scientific evidence supports teaching patients how to cook meals at home as an effective medical intervention for improving diet quality, weight loss, and diabetes prevention.”

5. Avid Reader

Lahiri loves sharing the books she is reading on social media. Research shows reading books can help support good mental health. “Reading can be a wonderful (and healthy) escape from the stress of everyday life,” says the University of Minnesota. “Simply by opening a book, you allow yourself to be invited into a literary world that distracts you from your daily stressors.”

1. She’s Grounded

Sharma is extremely grounded. She talked about this to TheNorthEastToday.com. “Growing up in Assam taught me how important it is to be rooted, to never forget where you come from. The inherent simplicity, the innocence of Assam in my growing up years is something I shall carry with me forever. When I was growing up, especially around my teenage Assam was going through a very different volatile phase, where I think we all largely felt 'neglected' by the rest of the country, literally alienated & that somehow I think ingrained in me the fact that wherever I go, the first thing I am going to proudly announce is ‘I am an Assamese’. I continue to do that.”

2. She Goes For What She Wants

Sharma wants to inspire others. Specifically, she wants them to go after what they want in life. “If I have inspired even one person from the region to follow their heart & take up a profession that makes them happy, then I feel fortunate,” she tells TheNorthEastToday.com. “At the end of it, it's about believing in yourself & never giving up on your dreams.”

3. She Listens To Herself

Sharma is a big believer in following her own intuition. She advises others to do the same in her TheNorthEastToday.com interview. “Do what you feel is right, in your heart. Never get swayed by other people's opinions, especially opinions of you. When you listen to your gut, everything falls into place.”

4. She’s Consistent

Sharma makes sure to take care of her skin. She says that one of her secrets is staying consistent. Sharma talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Here’s the thing about skincare … It isn’t a ‘makeover’! It's sort of a diligent process over many years. Slow, steady… & Yes you need to take care of your skin, even if you have genetically good skin.”

5. She Uses An Avocado & Coconut Mask

Sharma likes to make her own skincare products with organic ingredients. In the previous Instagram post, Sharma makes a mask out of coconuts and avocado. “So here is my super basic avocado - coconut oil mask for the winter. ( my first attempt at cutting an avacado myself . & I haven’t got it right yet 😀 ). But the point was to feed the skin & myself ( made some avacado/ guacamole toast too ) hence manageable! Happy winter skin people …”

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 !

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?’”

4. She’s Gained Confidence

Dimri tells the Hindu Times that she is a lot more confident. She says that she’s gained this from her roles. “For Poster Boys, my agency said I shouldn’t do this film, but I was like ‘I want to, tomorrow, I might not get this opportunity, I don’t want to miss out’. I am glad I did it. It got me noticed, as I was very shy then. This film gave me the confidence of being around so many people, the film camera, and interact with people from the industry. I think everything is important.”

Indian actress Kate Sharma is enjoying a magical trip to the island of Koh Samui, Thailand.

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."
