Tell us about your daily diet.
I make it a point to have three wholesome meals. I start my day with aloe vera juice on an empty stomach followed by a glass of warm water. I make sure I have a healthy breakfast. I have muesli or boiled egg whites and toasted brown bread with green tea. Or else I have idli and sambhar and maybe some fresh fruits and green tea. I keep lunch and dinner very simple. I prefer homemade food. I have dinner before 8 pm.

What is your exercise routine?
I do yoga for half an hour. I do pranayams and 30 suryanamaskars. I do this for half an hour every morning. I also attend yoga classes. I do not go to the gym. I prefer a fitness regime that I can handle by myself. I’ve been doing yoga for five years.
