“I do not follow any strict diets, but I do try to eat clean at times. And oh, I’m all about cheat meals! – Chaat is my favourite! Fries, fried momos, burgers & pizzas. If I had the chance, I’d eat all of this everyday of the week!” Parul told Women Fitness about her approach to eating.

2. Five Days of Exercise Per Week

Regular exercise is part of Parul’s approach. “I work out 5 times a week. I really don’t have a choice but to work out regularly since I eat almost everything under the sun, even though I’m vegetarian. My favorite target areas are my shoulders and glutes,” she told Women Fitness.

3. She Reads

Parul enjoys reading, a great habit for mental health and longevity. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

4. Pilates

Gulati loves Pilates. In this video on Instagram she does a workout on a reformer. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

5. Self-Care

“It is supremely important that we take care of our bodies,” Parul told Women Fitness. “This is what 2020 has taught me and it’s all that we have, nothing else really matters. Being active & focusing on our physical and mental fitness are the things that can really help us in the long run!”

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."

3. She Loves Coffee

Gulati is a self-confessed coffee lover. “For the average, healthy person, the AHA recommends limiting caffeine consumption to 400 mg or less daily – to stay within that range, that’s about four 8-ounce cups of coffee,” says Joseph A. Hill, MD, PhD. “Enjoying coffee in moderation is safe for most people who follow a heart-healthy lifestyle, and might, in fact, be a health-promoting strategy, both socially and physically.”

4. Staying Active

Gulati stays active not just to burn calories, but to support overall health and vitality. “It is supremely important that we take care of our bodies,” she says. “It’s all that we have, nothing else really matters.

Not only is Gulati a successful actress, she also has her own line of hair extensions. “I always loved hair extensions and did realize it is extremely hard to find good hair extensions that are affordable,” she says. “Nobody was doing anything for hair thinning at that point, I saw a gap in the market and took advantage of the same and started an E-Commerce business.”

1. She Dances

Pandey starred in a film that required her to learn choreography. She tells Urban Asian that all this dancing helped her get in shape. “For this particular weight loss, I got on a meal plan and luckily I was doing a film. Which required immense amount of dance rehearsals that added to my weight loss. So, there is nothing specific that I did to shed my weight but I feel the meal plan worked really well. I was dancing for around four hours daily and that’s a lot of cardio which helped me a lot.”

2. She’s Confident

Pandey says that she is confident in herself and with her body. “I have always been confident of my physique,” she told Urban Asian. “I never really paid attention to what people were saying about it. I loved whichever phase. I was in physically and never really put pressure on myself to be a certain body type.”

3. She Grew Up Athletic

Pandey tells Urban Asian that she grew up playing a lot of sports, which has helped her stay in shape now. “I was always into sports. I started swimming since the 5th standard. I was into a lot of sports actually like badminton and volleyball and others. I was quite an outdoor kind of a kid. So yes, I have been a fitness freak since ever.”

4. She Swims

Pandey loves to go swimming. And she always brings a buddy with her. She posted this reel on Instagram of herself and her dog in the pool together. Pandey captioned the reel, “That’s my girl.”

According to Harvard Health, “Owning a dog can prompt you to be more physically active — have leash, will walk. Just petting a dog can reduce the petter's blood pressure and heart rate (while having a positive effect on the dog as well).”

Gould is an avid dancer. She even likes to take classes. Gould posted this video of herself doing a combination from a class on Instagram. She captioned it, “DANCE! FIRE & DESIRE! Thank you @therealtank for coming and watching class!” "Scientists gave little thought to the neurological effects of dance until relatively recently, when researchers began to investigate the complex mental coordination that dance requires. In a 2008 article in Scientific American magazine, a Columbia University neuroscientist posited that synchronizing music and movement—dance, essentially—constitutes a 'pleasure double play.' Music stimulates the brain’s reward centers, while dance activates its sensory and motor circuits," says Harvard Health.

2. She Goes Outside

Gould spends a lot of time outside. She posts a lot of photos of herself enjoying the great outdoors on Instagram. She shared this photo of herself running on the beach in Malibu. She captioned it, “Footprints in the sand.” Gould also posted this beach photo, captioning it, “Whatever is good for the soul, do that.”

3. She Swims

One outdoor activity Gould likes to do to stay in shape is go swimming. She shares a lot of videos and photos on Instagram of herself in the water. Gould posted these photos of herself in an infinity pool. She captioned it, “This planet is so beautiful.” Gould also posted this video of herself in the ocean. She captioned it, “Summer vibe always.”

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

A little bit os sun each day is essential to get your vitamin D. “Vitamin D is one of the 13 vitamins discovered in the early 20th century by doctors studying nutritional deficiency diseases. Ever since, scientists have defined vitamins as organic (carbon-containing) chemicals that must be obtained from dietary sources because they are not produced by the body's tissues. Vitamins play a crucial role in our body's metabolism, but only tiny amounts are needed to fill that role,” says Harvard Health.

5. She Has Body Confidence

Gould frequently poses online in swimsuit photos, appearing body-confident. “Avoid 'should' and 'must' statements. If you find that your thoughts are full of these words, you might be putting too many demands on yourself. Try to remove these words from your thoughts. It may lead to a healthier view of what to expect from yourself,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Focus on the positive. Think about the parts of your life that work well. Remember the skills you've used to cope with challenges.”
