I am an Asian food lover.

I don't like waking up early.

I'm a big fan of my mom's cooking.

I stay away from packaged and over-processed food.

I like challenging myself physically and mentally.

Be fit. It will keep your body and skin looking good.

I think people do not associate me with the mainstream.

I constantly want to see what level of fitness I am at.

Running is easy. It is a misconception that it is tough.

I want to work with people who have new visions of cinema.

I identify myself as a explorer, do new things, surprise myself.

For me, a holiday is doing something else apart from what I normally do.

To run a marathon was a challenge that I had in my head since I was a kid.

Choosing a form of exercise you enjoy will help keep you fit and motivated.

You can eat anything and everything. You don't have to starve to look good.

I eat pizza and I don't need to run it off. I just have fantastic metabolism.

Mani Shanker is brilliant. And working with brilliant people is exhilarating.

Fitness is something that you can aspire for in terms of levels of achievements.

Your dreams, ambition and experiences are creating a new person in you every day.

I like acting. It is a well-paid job and according to some people, I am good at it.

Once your mind and body is healthy, it creates a freedom that helps you enjoy life.

I have always enjoyed myself. Sometimes I feel guilty about enjoying myself so much.

There's a very simple rule to follow - never eat so much that you can't do 20 push-ups.

If you convince your mind that you can't give up then your body will automatically follow.

In my day, there were 20 models in all of India, three of whom were male. One of whom was me.

It is unfortunate that as a country we don't have this culture of promoting health and sports.

I haven't been to the gym since 1998. I simply do push-ups and pull-ups, and I run. That's all.

Drinking isn't tops on my agenda. In fact, I hate champagne... and all white wines, for that matter.

For me, taking care of your health is the first step towards empowerment whether you're a man or a woman.

I began running half-marathons and it helped my fundraising for the multiple sclerosis society and others.

I want all the aspiring models out there to know that it's definitely not just a pretty face that matters!

I start my day with a healthy breakfast - muesli with soya milk is a must, no matter what and some fruits.

My whole idea of being fit is not having to train for anything. That is the fitness level I aim to maintain.

I have not done too much television because I do not like doing one project over a very long period of time.

At 50, you have learnt to accept yourself, and that helps you also understand and accept your partner better.

If you do the same thing over and over again, then you will definitely get stale and jaded like most actors do.

I used to own two gyms in Delhi called Breathe, so obviously I've entered a gym, but I don't use a gym for fitness.

As you grow older, your body does become weaker, but your mind becomes stronger. You understand and accept yourself.

I was mired in modelling and acting. But as I am an outdoors person, I was still trekking and doing some other activities.

I don't have a pattern in my life. That makes me a great boyfriend because it's exciting. But I may not make a great husband.

Dedication plays a key role and in 'India's Next Top Model,' that will be a major trait on which I will be judging the girls.

I don't eat refined white sugar. If I want to eat something sweet it needs to be made with jaggery or honey, so no chemicals.

If somebody is excited to cast me in a character that is surprising even for me to play, that is something I'll be looking for.

Bad habits are easy to slip into and good habits are very easy to build. Don't allow yourself to do something that can destroy you.

Gyms are basically for bodybuilding and maybe rehab but you can't get healthy and fit from a gym. I mean you can, but not holistically.

I feel lazy every day! It's the worst thing for me to wake up in the morning and get out of bed, and that is where the discipline comes in.

I like the outdoors. I like to run. In gym I feel restricted. When I exercise in open, it gives me a certain freedom and pushes me to do more.

For me, barefoot running has minimised my injuries. It creates a nice balance, when you are connection with the earth. It makes me enjoy running.

People often say they cannot run even 2km. But the human body is capable of so much: if people can run 60km a day for several days anyone can run.

The main thing about an endurance challenge is that you have to endure. Not so much physically, but mentally. Your mind gives up first. Not your body.
