Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Being an actress and a model, fitness is of utmost importance. Unfold the exercises that comprise your fitness regime on a daily basis?

Ms. Malaika Arora:

My daily fitness regime comprises of doing Yoga at leat one hour everyday. My simple goto everyday asanas are- Shirshasana, Suryanamaskar and Padmasana.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

One of the biggest challenges for mothers is to get back their pre-pregnancy sculpted physique. Tell us about 5 post-pregnancy exercises that your venture “Diva Yoga” proposes?

Ms. Malaika Arora:

• Setubandh asana – This posture helps strengthen and lengthen the glute muscles, the pelvic floor, hips hamstrings, spine and neck.
• Vipritkarni (wall) – This pose helps circulate the blood from the toes to the head. After being on our feet most of the day its incredibly beneficial to release stagnation and let new fresh blood move through our body.
• Virbhadrasana – This will alleviate tight hips and strengthen the lower body.
• Adhomuksavnasan – This pose tones and stimulates the abdomen, pelvis, torso, and back.
• Majariasana – This relaxes the lower back muscles & lumbors and works on core & shoulder strength

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

What advice you have for mothers who consider you as their role model and wish to be fit as you? 5 diet myths busted by you?

Ms. Malaika Arora:

My only advice to anyone who’s looking at becoming fit is sincerity and dedication. Whatever form of exercise or workout you choose, you have to be sincere and dedicated towards it. It can’t be a one time thing. Try and remove at least an hour for yourself from 24 hrs and make it a habit. You’ll see the results for yourself. 

I am not someone who believes in fad diets. I believe that we should eat everything but in moderation- be it fat, carbs or calories. 

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit? 5 favorite foods that are a must?

Ms. Malaika Arora:

My 5 favourite must have foods are- Avocado, greek yogurt, green veggies, organic ghee and fruits.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?

Ms. Malaika Arora:

I have got my hair and skin from my mother but I do take care to maintain them. Starting my day with Shishasana gives a natural blush and glow to my skin. Also, as mentioned earlier, I watch what and how much I eat. Consuming one spoon of organic ghee everyday also helps me maintain my skin and its glow. I am also big time into home made masks made out of fruits, yogurt etc that I try and use at least once every week. For my hair I trust the good old oiling once a week atleast.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

With a massive following of over 11.2 Million followers on your Instagram account @malaikaaroraofficial you’re a social media sensation and an internet leading star. How does it feel that you are able to inspire and influence the healthy lifestyle of so many individuals?

It feels great when you are able to inspire someone to move into the right direction. Good health is a life long treasure and I always encourage people to achieve it. Thats the sole purpose of me collaborating with Diva Yoga to reach out to as many people as possible and encourage them to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Ms. Malaika Arora:

I was actively looking at pursuing an initiative in the fitness space.

Sarvesh’ thoughts were perfectly aligned with my aim of wanting to make an impact in the world by adopting Yoga and fitness as a lifestyle. Both Sarvesh and I believe that women need to be empowered at every step in their life and the only way that they can be a positive role model is by taking time out for themselves towards health and wellness.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:

With cut-throat competition in the entertainment industry, one has to work really hard to shine in the crowd. What would be your best tips for a newcomer entering the Indian Film Industry?
