Elnaaz being an outsider and establishing yourself in Bollywood, how would you define your journey?
Elnaaz Norouzi
To define my journey in Bollywood I would say Long, Bumpy and Struggle, and establishing myself in the world of Bollywood has been the hardest. It hasn’t been very inviting in the industry as an outsider, I feel you really have to work your way to build your way here and it has been a struggle honestly.

Women Fitness India talks about celebrity diets and fitness regimes, do you follow any special diet? What is your favorite cheat meal
Elnaaz Norouzi
During covid, I put on a lot of weight around 8 kilos, this was because I felt sick and I was back in Germany enjoying food with my family but when I came back I had to lose weight because I had to start shooting for my shows and then is when I started to follow intermittent fasting and it has definitely helped me a lot, I feel more energetic it has helped in cleansing my body when it comes to eating appropriate portions and not consuming a lot of junk. My favorite cheat meal has to be pizza!
