1. She’s Coming Into Her Own

In her Women’s Day Instagram post, Dandekar opened up about her journey with herself. She revealed that she feels like she has come into her own in the past few years. “I really feel like I’m coming into my own. Calmer (sometimes, unless you are really close to me then not yet haha) more sure of who I am, less people pleasing and more self loving. Stronger, happier and basically my fearless younger self with much more knowledge.”

Dandekar began taking boxing classes in 2018, and has been doing them ever since. She posted this video on Instagram that year, of herself doing boxing workouts with a trainer. She captioned the video, “I literally feel like being an athlete would have been a better calling for me, it gives me life! I’m not a gym person AT ALL! Everyone asks me what I do to stay fit, truth is my body has been so good to me, I need to start some kind of permanent exercise to keep my strength and stamina alive, which I’ve always had without doing much! But you can’t take blessings for granted! This is my 5th class and I’ve never done boxing before... It’s pure magic! Loving MMA with this incredible super woman, trust me I’d give her a cape for sure! @kamli_gurung.”

3. She Does Pilates

Dandekar is a big fan of practicing Pilates. She posted this video on her YouTube channel of herself working out with her Pilates trainer, Namrata Purohit. The two went through the special Pilates routine Purohit designed for Dandekar, which includes them doing shell stretches, hip rolls, and ab-preps. According to a study from Allied Academies, Pilates has a lot of benefits for your body. “The results of this pilot study suggest pilates exercises as an effective method to improve respiratory muscle strength, physical capacity, mobility and quality of life.”

4. She Embraces Aging

Women in the public eye unfortunately deal with a lot of scrutiny, especially when it comes to aging. This has led to women wanting to run from getting older. However, in her Women’s Day post, Dandekar talked about her approach to aging, mainly that she is embracing it and loves it. She wrote, “People think the worst insult is to call me old, I am older and I love being who I am and looking and feeling how I do!”

5. She Wants To Inspire Others

In addition to being gorgeous, Dandekar wants to give back. She wrote in her Women’s Day Instagram post that she wants to inspire others and help support causes, like animals and the environment, which are important to her. “The most incredible and constant compliment I get is that I inspire You, it’s huge to know and feel that I can help someone someway… oh and may we always help animals always. That’s just my thoughts today.”

Kate Sharma, the actress, model and influencer, loves to share her everyday life with her fans, including her many outfit changes. Sharma posted a reel of herself walking and posing in a black bathing suit and see-through skirt, with the hashtag “reel it, feel it.” 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. She Loves To Take Baths

Sharma loves the physical and mental benefits of taking regular baths. “Baths help many people sleep well,” says family medicine provider Amy Zack, MD. “They also create a good environment for meditation, thought and escape from everyday stressors.”

Baths have been a popular way to relax and unwind for centuries, and there are a number of potential health benefits associated with taking a soak in the tub. Here are a few examples:

1. Stress relief: The warm water and the act of soaking in a bath can help to relax the muscles and reduce stress. In fact, research has shown that taking a warm bath can lower blood pressure and heart rate, both of which can be indicators of stress.
2. Improved sleep: The relaxation and stress-reducing effects of a bath can also help to improve sleep quality. A warm bath before bedtime can help you fall asleep faster and wake up feeling more refreshed.
3. Pain relief: Soaking in warm water can help to reduce muscle pain and soreness, particularly after exercise. The buoyancy of the water can also help to take the weight off of sore joints, making it easier to move around.

2. She Swims

Sharma enjoys swimming as part of her fitness regimen. "Because the activity is less weight-bearing, certain groups of people can take advantage of it if they want to be active,” says Brian Wright, associate professor of kinesiology at DePauw University. “One can also continue to do it late into one's age, as opposed to weight-bearing activities like running.”

3. She’s a Dancer

Like most Bollywood stars, Sharma is an accomplished dance performer. “When you begin moving, you immediately release the brain chemicals dopamine, adrenaline, and endorphins, causing a powerful and lasting effect I call ‘energized optimism,’” says Kelly McGonigal, PhD.

4. She Enjoys Indian Snacks

Sharma is a big fan of pani puri, an Indian street snack consisting of fried dough balls filled with vegetables. "The water used in pani puri are flavors of cumin, mint and tamarind,” says Senior Clinical Dietician Neha Bhatia. “Mint water and cumin are good for weight loss. Not just for weight loss, mint water is good for health as well. It can help in curing irritable bowel syndrome, provide relief to indigestion and improve immunity. Mint also has fiber, vitamin A, iron, manganese and folate."

5. She Loves the Beach

Sharma loves spending time at the beach. “The physical sensation of putting your feet in warm sand causes people to relax,” says Richard Shuster, PsyD. “We’ve been conditioned to think of the beach as peaceful and relaxing. We expect when we go to the beach that we are going to relax.”

Spending time at the beach can have a number of health benefits. Here are a few examples:

1. Improved mental health: The sound of the waves and the smell of the saltwater can help to relax the mind and reduce stress. In fact, research has shown that spending time in natural environments can help to improve mental health and reduce the risk of depression and anxiety.
2. Increased vitamin D: Sun exposure is an important source of vitamin D, which is essential for strong bones and a healthy immune system. Spending time at the beach can help you get more vitamin D, which can be difficult to get from food alone.
3. Increased physical activity: The beach is a great place for physical activity, such as swimming, surfing, or playing beach sports. Exercise is important for overall health, as it can help to improve cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones and muscles, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
4. Improved skin health: The sun's UV rays can have a drying effect on the skin, but the saltwater and sand at the beach can help to exfoliate and moisturize the skin. The ocean's minerals can also help to improve skin conditions such as acne and eczema.
5. Improved sleep: The relaxation and stress-reducing effects of spending time at the beach can also help to improve sleep quality. Getting enough restful sleep is important for overall health, as it helps to repair the body and support immune function.

1. She Once Wanted to Change Who She Was

When she was younger, “I just wanted to change who I was. I wanted to be somebody else. I just didn't like who I was. I just decided that, you know, why do I have this hair? Or why do I have this, these lips? So why do I have this body? Why can't I just look like everyone else? And just be a part? And I didn't want to stand out. I wanted to fit in.” One worry? “I used to never put on the light in my bathroom. My bathroom would be dark because I didn't wanna look at my skin,” she told Pinkvilla.

2. Be Humble and Turn Vulnerability Into a Strength

Gupta eventually found strength in her feelings. “If you lose touch of humility in your life, everything can go south,” she told Pinkvilla. On the other hand, “Sometimes when you think that your vulnerability is a weakness, it's actually your strength.”

3. She Played Tennis

“I was playing professional tennis. Of course it would play on my mind. Am I doing the right thing for my skin? Will I start looking a certain way? Uh, and at the same time, will I just become so muscular or just become so sort of heavy that, you know, I don't have any femininity left in my body. All of those thoughts came to my mind, but I never wanted to give up my sport because of it,” she told Pinkvilla. She finally gave it up to look after her mental health.

4. She Trusts Her Gut

“In my head, being authentic and being yourself is the most powerful thing a person can do. It is also very liberating. But at the same time, when you’re sitting in a room full of people sometimes, they might not appreciate that, might take it for granted or they might look at you and not take you seriously, and think you are a frivolous person or judge you. Yes, people can judge you for the emotions you have. I am a very emotional person myself. I’ve spent my whole life taking decisions based on my gut and my emotions,” she said, according to HealthShots.

5. She Promotes Self-Love

“Self-love is something that happens when you’re not looking. It’s not one of those things that you decide, ‘Okay, I am going to love myself today’, and it will happen tomorrow. It’s a way of life, it’s a course correction where you say to yourself, ‘Each time I lose track of why I love myself, I have to remind myself,'” she told HealthShots.

Nidhi also likes riding her bike to get around. Not only is bike riding better for the environment than driving, but it is a great workout.

4. She Hikes

Nidhi can often be found hiking in mountains around the world. “This mountain has given us the most wholesome start to many of our mornings lately. Liveliness surrounds you from everywhere on this stunning rock formation,” she captioned this post from one of her expeditions.

Nidhi spends as much time in nature as possible. Whether she is in snowy mountains or in the sand by the ocean, she feels her best and most connected when she is enjoying earth. “Being away from cities does me good. My secret to a clear skin and mind,” she captioned a post.

Growing up in the public eye was difficult for Shroff. She was often subjected to criticism of her body and appearance. However, she tells India Today that she let those comments motivate her. “Growing up, I was on the heavier side and for a lot of my years growing up till I was about 15 years old, I was always overweight. And at the time, I feel like I allowed a lot of these outside voices to really impact me and influence my mindset. And there were a lot of negative things being said, especially when I would go out with my father and there were the media and paparazzi. Then photos were being put out there…But where a lot of people could feel defeated and sort of pulled down, I used that as motivation.”

2. She Looks Up To Her Brother

Shroff’s older brother, Tiger, is one of her main sources of inspiration. She told The Hindustan Times, “Tiger has always been my inspiration. I always say that I have been blessed to grow up with someone like him. Can you imagine living a life with a real-life superhero? There is so much to look up to…I’m always the one to look at the silver lining, and who can say they had a brother like Tiger Shroff to grow up with? Or who can say that they have that kind of inspiration in their house every single day when they wake up?”

3. She Works Out Her Legs

Shroff shares a lot of her favorite exercises on her Instagram. In this video, she shared some of her favorite leg and lower body exercises. Shroff does two different kinds of squats with a barbell, one regular squat, and one where she leans forward as she bends her knees. She also does plie squats with a hand weight, and deadlifts. Shroff captioned the post, “Happy hump day! Here are a few of my favourite movements for y’all to try out on your next leg day.

4. She Weight Trains

Shroff does a lot of weight and strength training to stay in shape. In several of the workout videos she posts on Instagram, Shroff is seen using weights. In this video, she does squats with a barbell. Shroff captioned the post, “30 KG away from my one-rep max (90 KG) after over a month off is probably still your PR, so just gonna leave this right here for ya.”

5. She’s Persistent

When it comes to working out, Shroff is all about being persistent. Especially when it comes to overcoming gender bias. She shared this plank challenge on her Instagram, and encouraged other women to try it in the caption. “Gotta keep going, just when you want to give up,” she wrote. “There’s no better challenge to prove fitness is not about gender—it’s about mind over matter.”
