Kyunki Shubhaavi bhi kabhi Meera thi Food n Fitness quotient of TV's most hated vamp |
She plays the role of the vamp Meera in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi to perfection. You love to hate her. However, in real life, Shubhaavi is quite the opposite. Young, health conscious and energetic, she possesses a maturity that belies her age. In the on going TV saga, she has devoured her co-stars for breakfast (with her acting prowess), lets see what she has for her meals... off-screen ShaadiTimes unveils Shubhaavi's health and beauty regime. A day in my life... I take a warm water bath early in the morning; this is a must for me. It refreshes me completely and I am ready to face the day. I do not find time for exercise, but ideally, I would love to exercise. On a friend's advice, I am going to start skipping as an exercise, everyday for an hour. I don't have any carbs after 6 p.m. I have only one subzi , rice and dal for dinner. But these days, because of erratic shooting schedules, I am compelled to have carbs for dinner. I avoid oily food and non-veg food. I love sweets and I make it a point to have something sweet once a week. I believe that the body should not be deprived of anything for long periods. I have a chocolate or a brownie once in a while. I love sizzlers. I just can't do without having one every now and then. From waist 35 to waist 30... I was a 35 waist before and now I have reduced it to 30. It was a conscious effort to cut down the extra fat and maintain a good, healthy body. I did not go on a drastic diet. I did control my eating habits, but nothing drastic. These crash diets are not good for the body. I am just 25 years old right now and I want to have a healthy body and eating is an important factor. Our food intake should have a healthy combination of all type of foods, be it carbs, fibre or anything else. My favourites... Chicken Satellite Sizzler is my favourite dish. I am a multi-cuisine person. I like mushrooms, I like eating at McDonalds, I love the salads at Just Around The Corner... I love to eat and I eat a lot! Cooking and me? I do not cook. I can cook khichdi , aloo ki subzi and dal , but I am not a great cook. Although, people who have tasted food cooked by me have said that I can be a very good cook. My nani is the best cook in the world. There's just no comparison. She makes the tastiest fish curry, sukha chicken and kori roti . She's from Mangalore and has spent most of her life there and has not been exposed to different cuisines, but if given a chance, she can be one of the best cooks. Water tanker I remove my make up by using pure coconut oil, smuggled especially for me from Mangalore by my uncle! (Laughs). For good health, one should not starve. Gymming is a very good way of maintaining your body. If you cannot work out, cut out on fatty stuff. Have as much water as you can. I drink about 4 litres of water daily. It's a great cleanser and also a very effective coolant. |
