Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Fitness plays a very important role in an actor’s life, tell us how you manage to look so fit with tight schedules. 5 favourite indoor exercises.
Ms. Debina Bonnerjee
Fitness plays a very important role, but unless you put it in your brain that it is a lifestyle. And it is not an on-off thing or it is not bound or stuff like I’m supposed to do. So I am doing it or rather because I’m an actor. That is why I have to do it. It will never work. So I think you’ll have to take it as your lifestyle, the way we brush our teeth. We don’t forget it, because if you forget to brush our teeth, we feel very uneasy, we will feel unhygienic, and we will feel a lot of things which is all-natural. And similarly, if we skipped working out a day. The day you feel that Oh, my God. I’m not feeling good. I’m feeling something different. That is the time. You should be fully convinced that, yes, it has become a lifestyle and not just because you have seen somebody doing it. So you are doing it for a couple of days.
5 Indoor Activities
- Zumba.
- Yoga.
- A few lower body workouts as well, because I kind of really like that
- Dance definitely. I forgot to mention about it.
- Play with my pet in the house.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you follow any particular diet? How often you cheat on your diet?
Ms. Debina Bonnerjee :
I do follow a particular diet in the sense not to like whatever some fad diets or anything.
I follow a diet of low carb, low zero sugar diet in the sense I don’t take sugar. Not in the form of honey fruit or anything. Cheating is. Yes, cheating I do for food when I mean, I go out to eat in a restaurant mostly. And there are lots of people. Sometimes it’s really, really, really difficult to follow any kind of diet order like having a fruit is kind of cheating for me and having some home cooked, Roti, Chawal is cheating for me. So that also I do. Yeah. So that I do not forget the normalcy at all.
During the lock-down I was really going astir with my diet over the initial couple of days and then I realized it’s important to get back into diet and fitness because otherwise I was not feeling very well from inside and outside.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Food habits you would never like to change?
Ms. Debina Bonnerjee:
Eating clean is something that I would never like to change, because I don’t think bhajiya and any kind of sugary stuff, it attracts me. Also because the other day we were watching something and people were frying something in the television, some cooking show. And my mom said, “Yummy, that’s looking so nice. Do you think we should have that today? I could make it.” And I was like, no, it does not giving me any kind of desire to even like think. That, yeah, I could have it in a while, so I had this will and even the by the look, I am never attracted to anything that is deep. Right.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You ventured in YouTube recently, and in no time had a huge following, tell us how did the idea pop up and how different it was from the work you have done previously?
Ms. Debina Bonnerjee:
I ventured into YouTube, and within some time, it was pretty going on, pretty nice. Well I think, yeah, it is different because the reach is spectacular into the villages of India to abroad, to countries. I have never visited to countries I have visited. So once when I was in London, I had gone to the zoo. I was welcomed by a group of people who said that they watch my YouTube channel. I think that’s a beautiful thing to have happened when you are travelling.
