DIET: I DON8217;T avoid any food items, but try to find a healthier option to everything I eat. My breakfast consists of a bowl of muesli with skimmed milk, some papaya and a handful of almonds soaked overnight in water. Or I opt for some whole grain toast. I don8217;t believe in big meals8212;I eat small meals every two hours. It could be anything from fresh fruits to almonds I love them, to oatmeal biscuits. Lunch is roti with sabzi or some grilled chicken, or a pasta and a salad. For dinner, I avoid carbohydrates and eat fish or steamed vegetables. And I have a sweet tooth, so I do eat dessert, but not in large quantities.

EXERCISE: I WORK out for 20 minutes to an hour and a half, three to five times a week. I do a lot of cardio, which includes walking fast on the treadmill I don8217;t run and some light weights. It8217;s quite a task for me to get to the gym, but once I8217;m there, there8217;s no stopping me. I also practise Kathak, which I love and when I8217;m out clubbing, I dance for four to five hours at a stretch8212;that8217;s the best form of exercise ever.
