Tumm Se Tumm Tak's Niharika Chouksey on World Self Care day: 'Not just about diets & workouts but..'

As Self Care Month continues to highlight wellness and personal wellbeing actress Niharika Chouksey who plays Aru in Zee TV’s popular show Tumm Se Tumm Tak shares her refreshing view on what self care really means.

Instead of focusing on strict diets or intense fitness plans Niharika believes real care comes from joy and balance. “To me self care is not just about diets and workouts. It is about striking that sweet spot between what is good and what brings me joy,” she said.

Every morning she starts with a simple meaningful ritual. “Every morning I start my day with my favorite coconut water. It is a simple ritual but one that instantly refreshes me and sets a positive tone for the day.”

During the week she stays focused and disciplined but weekends are for treating herself. “I try to stay disciplined during the week but weekends are my time to indulge. I have an undeniable sweet tooth cakes donuts pastries you name it. And I never feel guilty about enjoying them.”

Her message is clear wellness is not about restriction. It is about listening to your body and honoring its needs. “Real self care is about listening to your body balancing your cravings and embracing your needs,” she added.

As Self Care Month continues Niharika plans to keep up her routine just with more sweet treats. “This Self Care Month I am continuing my routine just with a few extra sweet treats along the way because caring for yourself should always feel this good,” she said.

Her approach reminds us that taking care of yourself should never feel like a chore it should be a celebration.
