She captioned the snap shared with her 16 million followers, “beach daze.” Read on to see 6 ways Shakti Mohan 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 Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Enjoys Being Fit

Shakti doesn’t view exercise as a chore. “I think being fit is an indispensable ingredient for holistic well-being. Being in the business of the entertainment, fitness plays a more imperative role because there is a corporal representation to constantly cater to. I’m fit largely because I enjoy being fit, so 90 per cent free will and 10 per cent compulsion,” she told DNA India.

2. She Does Yoga

“I always find the time to exercise, I don’t really make excuses,” says Shakti. One of her favorite forms of fitness? “I like to start my day with meditation followed by yoga and then exercise. So I’ll wake up three hours prior to my call time on sets in case I’m shooting and make sure I burn those calories,” she said. She also has tricks for making sure she gets her zen on even while working. “I have a yoga mat in my vanity van,” she added.

3. She Dances

Another way she stays fit is via work. She told DNA, “it’s also important to note that dance is a great form of exercise and I’m constantly burning calories because I’m busy dancing all-day long.”

4. She Strength Trains

Shakti also hits the gym. “I generally workout every day for a minimum of 30 minutes with a 15 minute warm up and in case I have extra time then 60 minutes,” she told DNA. “My workouts include breathing exercises like Kapal Bhati, ab crunches and strength training. Breathing is crucial in dancing and so, it is an important part of my exercises.”

5. She Is Discliplined with Her Diet

“I’m pretty disciplined with my diet and I have been maintaining this routine for years now. Since childhood, I have been a very careful eater as I always stayed away from fried food,” she told DNA. Her day starts with a “heavy” breakfast including fruits, cereals, juices, and eggs. Hydration is also a priority. “I sip on a lot of water throughout the day,” she added. Lunch usually comprises of roti or brown rice, salad, tandoor, and curd. “For dinner, I have lots of steamed vegetables and soup. I prefer to stay away from packaged foods and junk during the week and I’m very conscious of the nutritional factor in the food. Indian cuisine is my favorite.”

6. Sunday Is Her Cheat Day

Shaki reserves time for indulging. “I do cheat on Sundays when I eat whatever I fancy. I’m not a foodie and I don’t believe in experimenting with food but also not completely restricting my cravings. You have one life and you have to live it, in a disciplined manner!” she said.

Indian actress Neha Sharma is having fun on a blink-or-you’ll-miss-it trip to beautiful Goa, India.

How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sharma 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 Bathing Suit Photos!


1. Power Yoga

Sharma works out and tries to keep a healthy balance when it comes to her diet. “[I do] power yoga combined with the gym, along with functional training,” she says. “ [I] am a big foodie.. I live to eat, so I eat everything. Just try to watch the portions as much as I can. I love cooking for friends and family. Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting is a huge hit with them, then spending time with family and my dog.”

2. Dancing Queen

Sharma is a trained dancer, and loves to practice as a fun way to burn some calories. “I had trained as a classical dancer as a kid,” she says. “Later I took classes in street hip hop, latin dancing-salsa, merengue, jive and jazz at Pineapple studios in London.”

3. Plenty of Seafood

Sharma enjoys the many health benefits of delicious, nutritious fish and shellfish. “I love seafood, I love fish because it has omega-3's which [are] good for your skin and your body and everything,” she says. “[I love] salmon... I also love mussels in coconut broth.”

4. Intermittent Fasting

Sharma fasts for 16-18 hours of the day, and drinks black coffee to keep her going until she breaks her fast. “11am or 12pm will be my first meal, which will be eggs and avocado and orange juice,” she says. “That’s breakfast/lunch for me. Dinner depends on where I am—I will eat any protein with a little bit of carbs. I can’t do without carbs.”

5. Skincare and Sleep

Sharma is diligent about taking care of her skin, which involves a basic beauty routine and at least six hours of sleep. “Basic CTM (cleansing, toning and moisturizing),” she says. “Clean all traces of makeup before going to bed, drink loads of water, get a good six hours of sleep.”

1. She Transformed For A Role

When Chandna signed on to appear in Naagin 5, she had to get in shape. She shared her process to Times Of India. "I had to say bye-bye to all the happy weight and bring a transformation because my character needed that,” she explained. “If you are playing a naagin you need to look sexy, fit and someone who can easily do the stunts. The previous seasons' actresses, who played naagins, had already set a bar so high, that it was important to look different and set a new trend."

2. She Did Her Own Stunts

In Naagin 5, Chandna did a lot of her own stunts. "When I signed up for the show, I did not have time to go to the gym, because we were shooting for 12-13 hours,” she tells Times Of India. “Naagin is not a show that requires you to be at one place throughout the day. The show had a fast pace, we had to run around a lot because of outdoor scenes and do a lot of stunts and action scenes. This helped me burn my calories, so I was burning good calories on the sets, shooting for 12-13 hours."

3. She Believes In Balance

Chandna opened up about her diet to Times Of India. She says that she believes in eating a balanced diet. "I used to eat bhakhri, rice, veggies, chicken and fish. I also consumed jowar bhakhris. I kept away from junk food but I had my 'cheat' days when I used to go out and eat pav bhaji and pizza. The idea was to be physically active and run around a lot, eat in small proportions than totally deprive yourself."

4. She Stays Consistent

When Chandna isn’t on set doing stunts, she still makes time to workout. She shared some of her favorite exercises to Times Of India. "I am thankful that I achieved my fitness goals playing a Naagin,” she says. “I have time on hand. I will again go back to doing my zumba and pilates to maintain my fitness levels."

5. She Swims

Chandna spends a lot of time in the water. She likes to swim to keep herself in shape, and shares a lot of photos of herself doing this on Instagram. Chandna shared this set of photos of herself enjoying a pool day, including shots of herself in the water. She captioned the post, “Island Girl. Day 1 in Koh Samui.” She also shared this set of pool photos, captioning them, “The ultimate water baby.”

1. She Goes Boating

Choudhury loves to go to the beach and spend time by the water. She does a lot of different aquatic activities, including going boating. Choudhury posted this photo on Instagram of herself boating, captioning it, “On my way to find aliens.” She also posted this boating reel, captioning it, “The best tour of Dubai ever!”

2. She Swims

Choudhury is an avid swimmer. She has posted several photos and videos on Instagram of herself in the water. Choudhury posted this photo of herself in a rooftop infinity pool in Dubai, captioning it, “Mood.” She also posted this travel reel, which featured herself using a float in an infinity pool.

3. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Chodhury has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She tells Indulge Express that the pandemic allowed her to re-work her beauty routine, and fix damage done to her skin. Choudhury also revealed some of her biggest beauty secrets. “I take a lot of vitamin supplements, and use jade massage rollers on my skin for proper circulation.”

4. She Kept Fit During The Pandemic

In addition to taking care of her skin, the pandemic also allowed Choudhury to work out more. She tells Indulge Express that she did a lot of exercises that didn’t require a gym.“The lockdown has helped me shed a lot of weight. I am walking and running a lot and also playing a lot of basketball, which is keeping me fit.”

5. She Limits Her Sugar Intake

When it comes to her diet, Choudhury aims to avoid eating so much sugar. “More than a balanced diet, I believe in not consuming certain things. Sugar is the culprit in everyone’s diet, and I control the additional intake of sugar strictly.” "Most Americans consume too much sugar. Only 200 calories, or 10 percent, of a daily intake of 2,000 calories should come from added sugars. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the average American consumes 22 teaspoons — or 355 calories — of added sugar every day. Consuming too much sugar sets the stage for several health issues," says the Mayo Clinic.

Alice De Bortoli doesn’t just light up Instagram with her stunning fashion and effortless style—she also shares the secrets behind her enviable beach-ready physique. The Italian influencer keeps her followers in the loop when it comes to fitness, beauty, and wellness, proving that looking and feeling great is all about consistency. From skincare rituals to core-sculpting workouts, De Bortoli’s daily habits make it clear that staying in shape is about more than just hitting the gym. Whether she’s cooking up homemade meals, breaking a sweat, or showing off a fresh new look, she’s all about feeling her best from the inside out. Here are five of her go-to habits for maintaining a strong, confident, and glowing presence all year long.

She Takes Care Of Her Skin

De Bortoli has impressive skin. Naturally, she takes care of it on a regular basis. De Bortoli shared this video on Instagram sharing her skincare routine. She captioned it, “The secret to perfect skin? Here is my step by step routine! ✨💦🎀 What product can you absolutely not live without?”

She Changed Her Hair Color

De Bortoli recently changed her hair color. She explained why in the caption of this Instagram post. “The good thing about this color is that it does not require frequent touch-ups and it easily adapts to natural hair growth, it is versatile and can enhance any body and face shape 🧡for those who are tired of blonde or brown, bronde is the solution to change harmony without distortion 🤍for those who have a fair complexion, the most golden tone is recommended 🤎 for the dark complexion, on the other hand, more ash brown ❤️ 🔥what can I say... For me the bronde conquered, and what do you think?”

She Cooks

De Bortoli likes to cook, and she was taught to do so by her grandmother. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her grandmother cooking together. De Bortoli captioned it, “Grandparents are wealth in society, my grandmother loves to cook and do it with her since I was a child. She has always inspired my creativity, patience, discipline and order but above all traditions, history, and the concreteness of nature's gifts. The greatest teaching my grandparents passed on to me is respect for people, the environment, animals and the kitchen... Today together we made Carnival Frittelle, an easy, quick dessert that adults and kids love. The ingredients are few and simple (but of high quality) and, trust me, the result is guaranteed: nice round but above all soft and tasty.”

She Works Her Abs

De Bortoli shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing core exercises like sit-ups. Core exercises are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

She Works Out With Others

In the previous Instagram video, De Bortoli is seen working out with a friend. Better Health says that this has a lot of benefits. “You’re less likely to get bored when you have a workout buddy, especially a friend. While you’re catching up, having a laugh, encouraging each other, you’re also getting healthier. It’s a win-win. Chatting to a friend during exercise and breaks can help time pass quickly too. You’ll have more options as well, such as a game of tennis or squash.”

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

She's Less Strict With Her Diet

Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

She Loves Cauliflower

Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

She Loves Salad

Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

She Works With A Trainer

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

She Shared Her Eye Makeup Trick

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”
