Ms. Namita Nayyar
Women Fitness India, talks about celebrity diets and workout routines, do you follow any special diet? Your favourite cuisines and cheat meals
Ms. Prajakta Koli
I am actually a big, big, big fan of food. I’m never usually on a diet. However, one thing I do consciously is do portion control, and I always watch what I’m eating for dinner, because usually that always shows on your face and body the next morning. So Ghar ka Khana I absolutely love, and I’ll always do portion control. That’s my way of dieting. Yeah, but my favorite Cuisine really can’t pick like I’m a full full full Hogger. I will eat anything and everything. I’ll eat everything. I absolutely love all Cuisines and enjoy everything

What comprises your fitness routine? How do you try to stay active while traveling or between your acting schedules?
Ms.Prajakta Koli
So my workouts are all on the mat. I love functional training. I love training with my own weight. I don’t like, working out with weights and stuff like that. I love HIIT. I love yoga. So throughout the week, I’ll try to work out about three to five times a week. And in those three to five times, I will sort of alternate between HIIT. I’ll do dance workouts. I will do yoga. I will just do functional stuff like that.
While traveling I just tend to carry my yoga mat, but acting schedules do sometimes mess my workout routines, while I was shooting for Mismatched past one month I couldn’t really work out, but that’s ok like now I am back in Bombay so my routine is back on track!

Social media comes with its own package of trolling and negativity, how do you manage that? Tips for budding creators
Ms. Prajakta Koli
Honestly, I mean, I am a big, big, big sucker for criticism online, because critics are always very, very honest and about 8 out of 10 times, you will learn and get better from everything they have to say to you. And I really, value everything they say. But trolls on the other hand are not my problem. I will never waste a single minute of my life worrying about, reacting to, or thinking about people that have no value to my life.
Ms. Namita Nayyar
You have had worked with mental health, body shaming campaigns, what do you do to keep a check on your mental health, also do you still feel that mental health is still a taboo to talk about in India
Ms.Prajakta Koli
Actually, I’m very, very glad that is becoming a more and more open and free-flowing conversation. I’m very happy that people of all ages, of all sectors of all regions in our country, are actually now speaking of thanks to the internet online on mental health. So I think the conversation is inching a little away from being taboo as we speak.
I think there are a few things that I do in my day that sort of helping me so keep my sanity intact. I love journaling. Yoga and working out help my mental health. Also, I think having conversations is something that helped me the most with people with my team, with my friends and family, just about anything and everything speaking up about things that bother me speaking out about things I want to talk about. And I feel like that helps me sort of keep a check
Ms. Namita Nayyar
Lastly, with 2022 approaching what are goals and resolutions you looking forward to
Ms. Prajakta Koli
I mean, honestly, I want to try more things outside of my comfort zone. I want to definitely act more, write more. Want to try doing new characters, things I’ve never done before. I want to keep my health, my mental and my physical health, a top priority. I want to spend time with my family. I want to give myself breaks from time to time. I want to appreciate myself for doing so. Well, I feel like sometimes I don’t do that as much.
I want to travel, hopefully. See new places, eat all the food I can, watch new content. And this has been like this thing has been on my list for years now, what I want is to learn a new language, but that just doesn’t come through. So I keep pushing it to the next year. So yeah, learn a new language, but overall be happy. Be grateful, be completely aware of everything that I’m blessed to have, and work more towards getting more in keeping it. Thank you.
