How I Keep Fit

...

You have three movies coming up: Holiday, Fight Club and Aksar. Did they require you to follow different exercise regimes?
Not really. In Holiday, I play a dancer and had to have a lean, flexible body. So I did less weight training and more cardio. I also underwent dance training for about seven months. I had to work extensively on posture and form and learnt all forms of Latin American dances, including the cha cha, the samba and tango. My favourite was the rumba.

What was more taxing, the training for Fight Club or Holiday?
All the dancing I did for Holiday was quite physically strenuous. Even though I enjoyed myself and was a good dancer to begin with, the shoot required me to always be on my toes and do numerous tedious lifts and drops in the course of a day. I used to be really drained at the end of the shoot. All I’d want would be to go home and get a massage.

Did you alter your diet? What sort of a diet do you follow otherwise?
No, I didn’t have to alter it for the films. I eat everything. I’m careful when it comes to desserts, but I don’t follow any diet plan.

What’s your daily exercise regime like?
I don’t follow a diehard regime. I go to the gym when I get time off from my shooting schedule. Sometimes I exercise five days a week, sometimes two, sometimes even a day.

Do you have any addictions or get any food cravings?
No, because I indulge whenever I want to. If I want to have ice cream one day and chocolate another, I just go ahead and have it. So there are no cravings.
