Sonnalli Seygall has been slowly and steadily making a name for herself in the big leagues. Having done projects like ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’, ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’, ‘Jai Mummy Di’ and many others, she is definitely someone who’s a name to reckon with.
Recently she got hitched to her longtime boyfriend, Ashesh Sajnani. In a time when A-list actresses are trying to go for international destination weddings and having numerous functions with the entire media going in a frenzy, Sonnalli Seygall decided to keep it small and limited to only close family and friends.
Women Fitness gets her on board as she talks about mental health, marriage, and fitness!

, after being in the industry for a decade how would you describe your experienceSonnalli Seygall
I have been really grateful for the journey that I have had, starting with Pyaar Ka Punchnamma 1 which was a huge hit, and also my debut film followed by Pyaar Ka Punchnamma 2 which was again loved by the fans alot so happy to be a part of a franchise that is loved even after so many years of the film being released, and it also helped me to get a loyal audience for myself who loved me for the character I played, so, all in all, it has been a gratifying journey so far.
Namita Nayyar:
You have been part of rom-coms, do you wish to explore any different genres and your favorite actor with whom you wish to work with?
Sonnalli Seygall:
I have been associated with rom-coms, but that’s not the only kind of work that I have done I have experimented with thriller web series, dark comedies, and suspense movies, and the goal is to keep exploring more and being part of different genres since that is the most fulfilling feeling for an actor.
Namita Nayyar:
You recently got married, how has your life changed? What has been the good and bad of marriage so far?
Sonnalli Seygall
Yes, recently got married and till now I can life has changed but it is still somewhat the same, this phase of life is something I really waited for I am so glad it is just like the way I wanted it to be and I am so glad that I took the right decision with the correct person. Life definitely changes post marriage but the love, warmth everything is still the same only difference I feel is living under the same roof.
Namita Nayyar:
Women Fitness India talks about celebrity diets and fitness regimes, do you follow any special diet? What is your go-to fitness ritual when targeting weight loss
Sonnalli Seygall
I tend to follow a diet that is sustainable, that is what I have understood over a period of time that crash diets don’t really work, I am huge on home cook food, try to eat my regular food generally made at home besides that I generally try detox if I had a session of heavy foods or been to the party. Also once a year panchakarma is a great way to detoxify your body and I make a point to do that every year.
Namita Nayyar:
Social media is a boon and bane, how do you keep up with the negative side of social media?
Anjali Sharma
In today’s era , when you’re consuming so much through social media , it’s very important to understand where to put a full stop and what to imbibe. I try to take out time for myself , spending time with my family and loved ones. I make it a point to journalise my thoughts each day .
Namita Nayyar:
What comprises your fitness regime? Are you a Pilates or yoga person?
Sonnalli Seygall:
I am totally a yoga person, whoever knows me knows this I love doing yoga also on days when I am unable to do a full session I try to do a 15-20minutes post at my gym since I feel yoga has worked wonders for me and I make it a point to incorporate it in my life. Besides that, I do cardio twice a week be it running, cycling, or swimming, I try to run outdoors rather than on the treadmill because it’s not that great for your knees if I am rehearsing for some show that includes dancing I tend to increase my food intake since you are burning a lot of calories already.
Namita Nayyar:
Besides physical fitness, how do you keep up with your mental wellness?
Sonnalli Seygall:
I am so glad that Women Fitness India brings up this question because people generally talk and see
only the physical fitness level of people, but fitness is overall, I try to meditate, and do my affirmations besides that every morning I make a habit of walking bare feet on the brass and just absorb my surroundings, it very important to share your thoughts, talk about it to one person in whom you can confide and I am grateful I have such people in my life.
