Chitrangada Singh who celebrates her birthday today is one of Bollywood’s fittest actresses and a mother too. She started her career with modelling assignments and later moved to films doing offbeat ones in the beginning and then moving to commercial cinema. The odds were against her – married, a mom and no godfather in the industry and yet she is a known name today and has done roles that prove if one is talented, praises and fame will follow.
Apart from her acting abilities, Chitrangada is also the news for her svelte figure and good looks. So what keeps her so fit despite the hectic schedule both on and off screen? According to her, there is no set mantra to fitness. One has to work out, eat right and get proper rest in order to maintain oneself. She herself is not a fitness junkie, but an enthusiast who likes to keep in shape and exercise regularly. Being an army man’s daughter, she was always into one or the other sport since childhood, swimming being her favourite. Though film shoots restrict working out all the time, Chitrangada tries to work out three to four times in a week. She once confessed that she preferred her current body to her modelling days as she now has some curves.
Her usual fitness regimen includes cardio-based exercises which last for 40 minutes. She does not train with heavy weights but keeps the rep-cycle as high as 40 reps per exercise. But before this, she warms up with a jog or cycle and basic stretching exercises. Other exercises in her workout include squats and lunges, step-ups, leg press, extensions and curls and upper body and arms. She cools down by doing stretches again.
Singh’s diet is simple yet nutritious to keep her in shape. It is low on fat and high on proteins – she has five meals every day. Breakfast consists of egg whites, oats and nuts. Lunch and dinner is of grilled fish with vegetables, brown rice and bajra roti or bread. She snacks on fruits, chocolate bars and Oreo shakes after her workouts and indulges in bacon with fried eggs once every week as it’s her favourite.
If there is something this dusky beauty is finicky about, it is her water intake. She reminds herself constantly to drink enough water and thinks it is one of the healthiest habits one should have. Now you know the secret to her gorgeous skin and lovely figure. She is surely one of B-Town’s hottest and fittest and our favourite too. Here’s wishing her a very happy birthday!
