Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Introduce us to a day in your life. How do you spend your day off?
Ms. Shweta Mehta:
Right now I’m in Mumbai and it’s a very hectic shoot. So for this I am shooting 10-12 hours a day and I workout in Midnight. So I always carry my gym bag and whenever I finish my shoot I go to the gym. I never skip my workout no matter what, other than on rest days. Fitness is discipline; it requires focus on every single day.
On days off, I like to party, music and rather than wasting my day off, I like to develop myself. Like these days I’m starting a YouTube campaign, Do What You Want To Do. So the message is do what you want to do, like for me its fitness, for you it could be you want to be an actor or a leader or doctor. You have only one life so do not think it’s not possible. I also like to work on my flaws and I try to learn and make the most of my off days.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine?
Ms. Shweta Mehta:
When I have time, I split it between Cardio and Strength Training. When I don’t have time, I don’t have a particular time, I go in the night, midnight, morning, the workout remains the same.
If I have 2 hours to workout, I would do one and a half hour of weight training and last 20 mins cardio. I split my leg workout into 3 parts: chest, hamstrings and glutes. So I split and train them and not together. 2 days I do upper body, 3 days I do legs and one day I do calisthenics.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Tell us about the diet that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit? Also, tell us your Top 3 favorite recipes.
Ms. Shweta Mehta:
Currently I am on a High-fat diet due to my health and time issues. It is a very delicious diet, you can fry your chicken, mutton, your eggs with lots of cheese and butter in it. So it’s a very delicious and healthy diet. It’s easy to follow and stay energetic. It was not easy to eat every 2 hours in the middle of a shoot so in this diet I do not eat 6 times a day, its usually 3 times a day or sometimes 4 times a day. It is often considered difficult for vegetarians, because it has more of non-veg options and you have to quit your carbs and sugar completely. My favorite cheat meal is donuts! I cannot have that in this diet so in this diet, I make coconut flour kheer and other one is cream cheese pancakes.
Top 3 favourite recipes:
Butter Chicken, Mutton and cheese omelettes.
