It's Work Out Time:
Don't be surprised if you see a slimmer and leaner Kittu on SaharaOne's Kittu Sab Jaanti Hai in the coming days. Ami Trivedi, who plays the lead role, has been asked by the producers to try and achieve a leaner look.

Camera adds bulk
Confirming this, Ami said, "Yes it is true that I have put on weight in the last few weeks. I think it's due to the fact that I am eating delicious unit food, and sitting on the sets for long hours. I have hardly been indulging in any form of exercise."
She adds that the camera also adds extra kilos, so she has to be careful. "People around me have mentioned that I have become a bit plump. Even though I have minimal makeup on, I know that on the screen, one tends to look more chubby than in real life."
Battling the bulge
To fight the fat, Ami has started going to Nautilus, a health club close to her house. "I love my workout sessions now. In fact, my lethargy has reduced and I feel more fit and fresh." When does she have the time to work out? "I try and do it a few hours before shoots, or even in between. In fact, my friends complain I have no time for them, since my days are divided between work and the fitness club."
Ami says her main issue is that she puts on weight easily. "It shows on my cheeks; they become puffy. I have learnt to have a controlled diet and a healthy workout routine."
On the personal front, Ami says she is happy about the success her show has had, but there are also downfalls with popularity. "My biggest regret is losing touch with my close friends. We would make it a habit to meet at our local park in the evening, despite my shoots. But now, with my workouts, that time too is occupied."
There is loads of romance on screen for Kittu, but Ami doesn't see anyone suitable off screen. "If I get a boyfriend, he will probably leave me in a couple of days - I won't have any time for him. So it is better to stay single, at least for the moment."
