I don’t have a set regime that I follow, but I do eat in smaller portions throughout the day. I eat everything, but I eat in smaller portions. I do try avoiding sweets because I get a sore throat when I eat sweets and that’s always a problem I face while recording. I have not had ice cream in years, that’s something I’ve completely given up on. I love dancing, you’ll see me dancing and that’s how I’m burning my calories.
I do home workouts whenever possible and whenever it suits my time. A lot of easy home exercises like planks or squats. Also, this pandemic and this entire lockdown have made us all realise how important our mental health also is. It’s as important as our physical health, so I’ve been trying to meditate whenever possible.
I’m trying to get into it and it’s been good for me. Meditation is very difficult, it’s tough to just focus on something and to not let other thoughts bother you. It’s quite important to take care of our minds as well.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Forbes magazine’s Rob Cain wrote a feature on you and your future goals recently in which he stated that you are “Bollywood’s Next Big Singing Sensation Just Might Be This Tiny Kiwi”, how does it feel to be the youth sensation and to be recognized by such great portals? The best compliment you ever received.
Ms. Shirley Setia
I remember when I read the article on Forbes and honestly, it was extremely overwhelming and I’ll always be very grateful to him for writing such beautiful words for me.
Everything that he wrote and everything that people say and all the love and support I receive from my fans is extremely motivating and it’s something that pushes me every single time to keep doing better work. I want to work harder as a return gift for all the love I receive.
I still feel that I have a lot to achieve, I’m just getting started. I’m just finding my ground because as soon as I shifted here I was doing a couple of singles, but I’ve gotten into acting now, it’s an entirely new space and I want to be able to do both. I still want to be able to act, I also want to be able to sing.
I am slowly achieving that balance and I know it’ll happen, but I feel like this is just the beginning and I have a lot to do. It does make a huge difference to know that so many people are supporting you and will love you and I’m extremely thankful to all my fans who call themselves #TeamShirley, I love them so much, their love is truly unconditional for me and it’s because of all that I receive from them that I’m able to give back.
