Having been working with such amazing costars, how do you prepare yourself for different roles?
Nikita Dutta
I’ve been fortunate to have incredibly supportive co-actors. My approach to preparation varies for each film and character; no two are alike. Every script, every role, demands a unique journey and approach. For instance, in a dance film, I underwent rigorous training for almost two years, enduring quite a few injuries along the way. Despite that, I find the preparation process the most enjoyable. It feels akin to being a newborn in kindergarten, learning something entirely new. There’s an immense joy in picking up new skills and delving into the unknown, making it my favorite part of the entire creative process.

Women Fitness India talks about celebrity diets and fitness regimes, do you follow any special diets? What is your morning diet ritual?
Nikita Dutta
I strongly believe in the significance of functional training, weight training, cardio, and yoga, as each serves its unique purpose. It’s crucial to balance and diversify your workouts to enhance endurance, flexibility, stamina, and stability. Integrating elements of bodyweight strength training is beneficial.
My approach typically involves dividing my routine across different days. For instance, I dedicate specific days to cardio, weight training at the gym, or solely focusing on yoga. This structured division ensures I cover all essential aspects of fitness, maintaining a well-rounded approach to my workouts.

What is your fitness regime? Do you do functional or weight training
Nikita Dutta
Beauty, according to me, is not just about physical appearance but also about feeling confident and comfortable in your skin. It’s about embracing your unique qualities and being kind to yourself and others. Beauty is subjective and can be found in different forms, whether it’s in nature, art, or the kindness of a person. It’s about being true to yourself and radiating positivity from within.

Besides physical fitness, how do you take care of your mental wellness?
Nikita Dutta
Physical fitness often feels more manageable, but mental fitness poses a greater challenge. As an actor, I constantly face uncertainty and stress, whether working or not. Coping with such situations becomes crucial, and that’s where techniques like meditation and focused breathing truly come to my aid. It might sound cliché, but the practice of meditation and intentional breathing exercises significantly impacts my mental state. I’ve noticed that regular sessions calm me down and help manage anxiety. It’s a clear reminder that when I feel more anxious, it’s often because I’ve neglected these practices.
