Ms. Namita Nayyar:
On your YouTube channel you have talked about weight loss journey and suffering from a thyroid disorder, any tips you would like to share on how important it is to stay positive while trying to lose weight. Also, share Thyroid management tips you followed.
Ms. Juhi Parmar:
The first and the foremost thing when you want to lose weight is to stay positive. When you are negative, you tend to slip in depression which will not help you work towards achieving your goals. You have to stay calm, you have to be positive and work towards achieving your goal.
I have spoken a lot about Thyroid management in my channel and people can go see that because it’s not just one thing that you need to do, there are a couple of things that you need to follow to be able to reach a stage where your Thyroid comes under control.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have been an inspiration for all single mothers out there and also been an example of how normal lives actors live, any message you would like to share for all single mothers out there. 3 Challenges of a single mother.
Ms. Juhi Parmar:
Thank you so much for saying that I am an inspiration for all the single mothers out there and that I am setting an example of how actors can live normal lives but actors are normal people. There is no reason for them to think that they are not supposed to live normal lives, it’s just a job, as others go to offices and do their job, an actor goes to the set and acts. As normal a life is better it is.
My message for all the single mothers is that God gives the responsibility only to those who he feels are capable of fulfilling it. If God chose certain women, certain mothers to be single moms, for whatever reason they have become single mothers, then their shoulders are strong enough. God trusted their shoulders to put that huge responsibility on them. Trust yourself, trust your strength, go and face all the challenges with full confidence because you’ve got it.
I can’t pinpoint three challenges of a single mother because the moment you call a mother a single mother you just know that her life is going to be full of challenges. I would ideally say she should be called a ‘double parent’, a single mother is a mother and father as well. She is a provider and nurturer. She takes care of the home and also goes out and earns the bread and butter for the family. She has to be at work and she has to attend a parent-teacher meeting. She has to be there at home when the child is not well and at the same time entertain the child and go out with them. She has to take the child on vacation and yet fulfill all professional commitments. So life is full of challenges when you overcome them you look at yourself in the mirror, smile, and say that you are a winner.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you follow any particular diet? What are your favourite cheat meals?
Ms. Juhi Parmar:
I follow a diet only when I want to lose weight, otherwise, I am quite a foodie. I have followed a strict diet twice in my life. First, when I had put on weight because of Thyroid many years back and then post-delivery when I wanted to lose the maternity weight. These were the two times when I had a huge goal to lose 15-20 kgs and I had to follow a certain diet but apart from that I know I can manage 2-3 kgs up or down. I don’t follow a proper diet every single day, I believe in eating healthy. I make sure that I am not eating too much junk and even when it is a cheat meal, it doesn’t have to be junk. Currently, I am not on any particular diet, I just eat healthily. As I said I am a foodie, there is not just one thing that I love to eat when it comes to cheating but fried fish is my favourite.
