Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What advice you have for mothers who consider you as their role model and wish to be fit as you? 5 diet myths busted by you?
Ms. Malaika Arora:
My only advice to anyone who’s looking at becoming fit is sincerity and dedication. Whatever form of exercise or workout you choose, you have to be sincere and dedicated towards it. It can’t be a one time thing. Try and remove at least an hour for yourself from 24 hrs and make it a habit. You’ll see the results for yourself.
I am not someone who believes in fad diets. I believe that we should eat everything but in moderation- be it fat, carbs or calories.
