Shilpa Shetty stepped into Bollywood through ‘Baazigar’ in 1993, almost 18 years back. Unlike most who struggle with keeping their weight in check, Shilpa continues to flaunt her hourglass figure ever since her debut in films. Even today, Shilpa can be a top contender for the best body (female) award in Bollywood. So how does she manage it, considering actresses half her age find it difficult to do so! Shilpa tells what goes into looking perfect and healthy.
“My goal is to achieve personal happiness. At the same time, discipline is extremely important. If you have to be fit especially if you are a working woman who happens to be in movie business, you cannot be fat. More than looking good, its about being healthy. All it takes is 20 minutes a day to burn out the excess calories. Good diet which means no junk food at all. No Mcdonalds french fries and burgers. Do not indulge daily. Also its not about not eating anything you like.
You can always cut down the intake. Eat half a pastry oi a day instead of the whole piece. I indulge every Sunday. I have pizza etc but the tip is to have it in moderation. I can never diet. I also see to it that I dress according to my body type. For the past 20 years, my weight hasn’t fluctuated much. Its between 57-60 kgs which I think is great.”
