From Shah Rukh's six-pack to Kareena's 'size-zero', Bollywood has become fitness crazy! It seems every other day a star is telling us, "I can't fall asleep until I hit the gym for two hours. Else, I'll never unwind! And my diet? I eat dal, chapati and salad."
But what does this say for the rest of us? What's wrong here? Why can't we reach the gym with a spring in our step and a smile on our face? Why do we choose butter chicken over boiled veggies? Are these Bollywood stars even normal? Enter Priyanka Chopra.
With a Miss World crown atop her head, a slew of hits in her wake and a collection of upcoming lead roles already in the bag, this girl's got it all. But unlike many of her big-screen peers, she would rather curl up in bed to watch a movie than go for a late night run on the treadmill.
Your looks: Genes or hard work?
Genes definitely have something to do with it. I come from a very wholesome, middle-class family. So I think my upbringing and healthy lifestyle has also helped.
What's your diet like?
Well, it's hard, but I usually just eat my normal home food, like roti, subzis and chicken, basic Punjabi food. I'm not a huge fan of all this dieting, but I do have one rule: Watch those carbs! When it comes to international food, I enjoy it, but usually only go for it when I'm out of the country. I absolutely must have my food, though!
Are you always in the gym?
To be honest, I'm not really a great fan of working out (laughs). But if I have a certain type of role, and need to be trim and fit, I'll definitely get motivated. Still, I usually need a trainer to be really tough on me, to get me to the gym. A personal trainer is a big help. At the end of the day, though, I'd rather curl up in bed to read or watch movies. I love books from the best-seller lists and I'm huge fan of films. Although recently I've been so busy that I hardly have time. I've been reading the same book for two months!
Socialite or homebody?
I have to attend a lot of these (social events). But I really love my home! I love being there and just relaxing.
Any cosmetic tips?
When I'm not going for filming or an event, I wear light make-up. Of course recently, for Love Story 2050, I had to dye my hair red two different times!
Did you like the look?
I was nervous at first, because I wasn't sure how people would react to it. But every one was saying how nice it looked, and I soon grew fond of it. It was very different! But, unfortunately, all the chemicals really fried my hair, from the dying. I had to cut off a few inches (motions to her hair)!
Can you go back to the red 'do?
I'm not sure. I'm really excited to see how people react once the movie launches!
