Consistency is the key to getting in shape, according to Santa. "Nothing can happen overnight," she said during 2018 Instagram live per Deccan Chronicle. "Only with regular and consistent training, can your body change."

2. She Does Strength Training

Malhotra relies on strength training to stay in shape. Her workout consists of weight lifting and other muscle building exercises. In these two reels on Instagram she does deadlifts with a barbell. According to the Mayo Clinic, there are many benefits of this type of workout. "Strength training can help you tone your muscles and improve your appearance. With a regular strength training program, you can reduce your body fat, increase bone strength, increase your lean muscle mass and burn calories more efficiently."

3. She Dances

Malhotra also loves to dance, filling her Instagram and TikTok feeds with photos of herself cutting a rug. Not only is dancing fun, but it burns calories and relieves stress. "Dancing is a recreational activity which is pursued dominantly to improve one's mood and reflects the stress-reducing capability of the activity," says a PLOS One study.

4. She Maintains a “Healthy Balanced Diet”

Malhotra is also consistent with her diet. "To lead a healthy lifestyle, you need to have a healthy balanced diet, exercise and rest. I am a fan of desi food and prefer dal chawal with ghee, dahi chawal, and khichdi,” said in the above Instagram Live session.

5. She Doesn’t Put Pressure On Herself

Sanya suffered from severe anxiety early in her career. "Earlier, I was too harsh on myself as an actor,” she revealed to PTI. “I would get mad at myself for making mistakes, which was definitely not helping me with anything. I was harsh on myself because maybe I was still trying to learn about so many things, about the industry, the job. Even a small mistake used to tick me off. I was trying to be perfect in everything." Now she avoids putting that pressure on herself.

6. She Doesn’t Eat Meat

One thing you won’t find on Sanya’s plate? Meat. “I wanted to become a vegetarian for a very long time. This year, it all happened very organically. Also, because of the second lockdown amid the pandemic,” she told the Hindustan Times “Since I was alone in Mumbai, it gave me a lot of time to experiment in the kitchen and make good vegetarian and vegan stuff for myself to eat. During all that, I found a lot of substitutes for meat and eggs and dairy that I was used to eating. In fact, now, I’m actually enjoying eating all the substitutes,” she added. “I can see a lot of difference (after the decision). I have a lot of energy during the day, and just feel lighter, as opposed to the times when I used to eat non-vegetarian food."
