Ms. Namita Nayyar:
How does your day start?
Ms. Tamannaah Bhatia:
I like to start my day with a lot of positivity, clean energies and good vibes. I start off with a small prayer in bed because I think attitude of gratitude takes you a long way.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What are three fitness rules you swear by?
Ms. Tamannaah Bhatia:
Writing your goals down in a journal and giving yourself a deadline will make you stick to the plan. Mornings are pure and productive. Train yourself to get up early in the morning, inhale fresh morning air, and start your day with some exercise. Never miss eating breakfast. Without food, your cells and organs don’t work properly and Home-cooked food is the best food. Find a routine that is sustainable, don’t opt for shortcuts or something too drastic so that you are motivated throughout.

Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises do you prefer when you need to rush for a shoot and why?
Ms. Tamannaah Bhatia:
Lunges, squats and crunches. I just need to roll out my yoga mat in my vanity and I’m done. I also like to skip or jog incase it’s an outdoor shoot amidst nature.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
How do you strike a balance between your personal choice in taste and looking fit as your profession demands you to look best? Is it challenging?
Ms. Tamannaah Bhatia:
Never. I don’t believe in catering another’s idea of beautiful, healthy and fit. I need to look and feel good for my own standards.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
How do you keep your skin healthy?
Ms. Tamannaah Bhatia:
I use a lot of organic homemade packs, mixture of besan, turmeric, sandalwood and neem leaves as a facial or a scrub. I avoid make-up and use aloe vera gel to moisturize. I use homemade herbal powder which is a mixture of shikakai, papaya and amla for my hair. I eat a lot of avocado and broccoli to maintain my skin.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Who do you find extremely fit in Bollywood?
Ms. Tamannaah Bhatia:
Katrina Kaif, Akshay Kumar
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you have any fitness icon?
Ms. Tamannaah Bhatia:
Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Van Damme
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
With success comes huge responsibility, do you think you have managed it all well till date?
Ms. Tamannaah Bhatia:
It’s a constant struggle for any public figure to strike a balance between doing what’s best for society at large and doing what’s best for oneself. I always try to inspire others and contribute to society at large when I’m not busy shooting. I have worked closely with the Indian Government to raise awareness on social and environmental issues and will continue to do so since I believe change starts with oneself.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have been adored for your natural beauty many times, how you feel about this?
Ms. Tamannaah Bhatia:
I am blessed because of my parents conventional good looks. There’s a lot of maintenance that goes into grooming yourself and it comes with a lot of discipline. You can be gifted with conventional beauty but you have to take care of it just like a flower in a pot.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What is keeping you busy these days in the work front?
Ms. Tamannaah Bhatia:
Devi 2, That Is Mahalakshmi, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is in the pipeline, and I have signed Raju Gari Gadhi 3 and a Tamil film opposite Vishal.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Are you a foodie? How do you control food cravings or manage your diet?
Ms. Tamannaah Bhatia:
I’m a big foodie, everyone at home loves to spoil me silly with quality food. I believe in eating everything in moderation and crash diets are a big no-no for me. I don’t resist eating because it’s a natural stimulation so incase I do consume extra calories, I work out more rigorously at the gym. Also drinking apple cider vinegar works to control my urges. Everyone deserves a cheat day! All habits have triggers. So, the first step to leading a healthy lifestyle is to identify the trigger. Figure out what exactly starts your craving and temptations or whether you eat uncontrollably when you are feeling intense emotions.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you follow any detox or cleansing diets? If no, why not, if yes, do they help?
Ms. Tamannaah Bhatia:
I don’t believe in undertaking anything extreme, I have been watching what I eat consciously since the past 5 years and consult with a nutrition . I like to attain my goal keeping in mind the scienece behind nutrition and wellness and balance is key for me. I’m not a fan of detox or cleansing diets , to be honest I have never tried one , I think the idea of it doesn’t appeal to me because I don’t believe in shortcuts in principal.
