Ms. Namita Nayyar:
5 Foods you would recommend out of personal experience when trying to lose weight to upkeep optimum energy.
Ms. Dalljiet Kaur:
I strongly recommend protein for vegetarians there are a lot of milk products and for the non-vegetarians, there is a buffet of options. I also recommend fiber because digestion is very important as well. So, veg, especially raw veggies are very important to help you digest and keep you healthy and active. Lots of fluids as well. I don’t recommend a lot of fruits as well obviously it’s a lot of sugar, but water, lime juice, and lemonade are very important So, yes a balanced diet is what I like to stick to.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
“What I would have probably become in 10 years, I became in three years. I’m very proud of the fact that I’m back.

Ms. Dalljiet Kaur
I had to take a forced sabbatical because obviously I became a proud mother and I had obviously lost in shape, I had become like 86 kgs, almost 25, 30 kgs more. And it was quite a nightmare for an actor to look at me. And I almost thought that acting would never be something that I can get back to. But of course, I pulled myself together. I started working out. I started taking care of what I eat. As I said, I’m not really a foodie. I’m not somebody who likes eating junk or desserts. I’m much disciplined as a person. And the day I put my mind into it, I put my complete focus on being healthy.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
How do you manage your fitness regime? 5 indoor exercises that you feel are very effective for home workout.
Ms. Dalljiet Kaur:
Well, I like to do a lot of indoor exercises, I think that’s how it is going to be in the coming future, considering the whole virus scenario. I think yoga definitely to start with, whether it is breathing exercises, are Surya Namaskar or the other forms, which helps to stretch. And I am somebody who ordered a lot of weights in my house. I like to do weight training also cardio. Also, there are a lot of exercises you can do at home, whether it is jumping jacks or, mountain climbing. So I definitely recommend it as a routine, as a lifestyle for everybody at every age group, because I make my son also work out with me. I sometimes tell him to go up down the stairs of the building as well. So I think it’s very important for everybody of every age group to take care of themselves. And being fit should be a lifestyle, not a mantra to become sexy.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have flawless skin, Skincare brands that you swear by?
Ms. Dalljiet Kaur:
I don’t think I have flawless skin. I like to keep a check on the way my skin has been aging over the years. But with a lot of makeup and lights on my face every single day being daily soap actors, the quality of skin definitely deteriorates. I could have had better skin had I been able to avoid so much makeup. But I let my skin breathe and keep a check on it and don’t like to put on makeup most of the time as much as I can avoid it. I keep myself hydrated, I drink a lot of water internally and externally by toning and moisturizing it there are the basic things that work for me.
