Endearing Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor, known for her outstanding performances in blockbusters like ‘Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl’, ‘Dhadak’, and ‘Roohi’, has served as a major source of inspiration for her audience’s fitness goals.

She has won people over with her flamboyant and playful sense of style in addition to her superb acting and dancing abilities. Her confidence, style, and flawless physique have won her a devoted following. Janhvi’s astounding fitness transformation has motivated many through her frequent exercise videos on social media to begin their own fitness journeys.

Janhvi encourages her fans to start the new year on a healthy note. She shares simple and easy fitness tips to maintain a healthy lifestyle and get in shape.

Janhvi strongly believes ‘you are what you eat!’ She says, “Hailing from a Punjabi family, I used to be a chubby little kid. It has been a challenging rollercoaster ride from being chubby to curvy. It is important to start your fitness journey with small and simple lifestyle changes, like swapping your food habits to healthier alternatives. I started my fitness journey with baby steps – including more wholesome fresh fruit, vegetables and avoiding junk food as part of my everyday food habits. I promise you, that goes a long way in sustaining a healthy lifestyle.

“For me, I love a protein-packed breakfast, like brown bread, oats, egg white and my favourite Saffola FITTIFY Peanut Butter. I love that it comes in variants ranging from omega 3, whey protein, unsweetened, dark chocolate to vegan options both in extra crunchy as well as super creamy forms. For lunch, I eat only home-cooked meals or consume fruit and vegetable juice if I am outdoors for shoots. I keep my dinner very light, consuming lots of boiled vegetables, soup, and sometimes grilled fish,” she adds.

Janhvi believes it is essential to keep your body and mind healthy. She says, “It’s important to sweat it out and workout consistently in any form that you enjoy. I personally enjoy cardio, strength training, pilates, swimming, yoga, and dancing too. For me, yoga is therapeutic as it relaxes my mind, and prepares my body for hectic work schedules.

Remember to take your nutritional supplements to maintain overall health. I personally love the Saffola FITTIFY Perfekt Gummies that make supplements a tasty option. These super ingredients, which are high in Biotin as well as vitamins A, C, E, and Zinc, are ideal supplements to get your daily dose of nutrients. It has helped me refuel my energy during hectic work schedules.

As a beginner, Kapoor adds, “I would urge you to take the first step and start with small goals. Incorporate simple exercises every day like walking, jogging, at-home exercises, etc. If you are consistent and persistent with your workouts and healthy eating habits, results will show!”

At 25, how does she pick her films?

“I think for me that is what the exciting part about doing what I do is. I get to live so many lives and characters, which are different from my world. I get that much more excited to do it because I get to learn about different people, different cultures and stories.”

“Through my films I have learnt to ride a chopper, I’ve been to locations like Bateswar. I am learning cricket, I have shot in a freezer and learnt how to speak in a Bihari dialect. I love the different colours it adds to my life.”

‘I know about hard work I have put in for all my films’

Janhvi also spoke about her latest release ‘Good Luck Jerry’ and how she worked on her diction…reports Asian Lite News

 Janhvi Kapoor has talked about how initially in her acting career the Bollywood actress was made to feel that she got everything on a platter and got things she does not deserve.

Recalling the same, Jahnvi in B4U podcast ‘Hear It Here with’ Suchitra Pillai and Sudhi Sachdev, said: “During ‘Dhadak’ and ‘Gunjan’, I have been made to feel that I got everything on a platter, and I got things I don’t deserve, which means that I am technically worthless, and I am getting opportunities because of the work my parents have done.”

“At the same time, I also felt an overwhelming respect and love for my parents, and I am being given love and work because of that. But the truth is that I love acting and I live for it. I work my ass off to give it back to them for what they have done for me, and because I am doing what I do because of their love. And then I realised that what I can do is to enjoy my work.”

The daughter of late veteran actress Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor added: “I do have respect for the fact that other people have lost out on the opportunity. But no thanks. I realised that what I can do is to make sure that I can give it more than my best and my everything. I don’t know about the beauty and talent I have, that you mention, but I do I know about the hard work I have put in for all my films.”

Janhvi also spoke about her latest release ‘Good Luck Jerry’ and how she worked on her diction.

“I started training for my diction and dialect, and there is a specific rhythm to the Bihari accent and it’s so meetha. Once you tap into the rhythm it’s difficult to get out of it. And then I was playing a girl from Bihar, in Punjab, amongst a gang, and I was the only girl in a group of thugs. They were all in character, and most technicians were also male.”

She added: “They did make me comfortable, but it does feel funny because there are these very sweaty groups of men whose job is to intimidate you. I was not allowed to go back into the van because my character never had such privileges. I suddenly realised that we actors have such privileges when everyone including the light dadas and others are sweating it out on the set.”
