Ms. Namita Nayyar:
After a hectic day of shoot, how do you like to relax and rejuvenate?
Ms. Tanishaa Mukerji:
I absolutely love spas. I love getting massages and pedicures on a weekly timeline. When I want a little extra I’ll do a nice body wrap or an Ayurveda therapy.
My favorite pass time is to sit with my puppy Leo reading a good fantasy fiction novel with a cup of cinnamon tea which relaxes me completely.
I also love catching up with my close friends or just enjoy some good music. But what makes me instantly happy is spending time with my nieces and nephews and getting cute hugs from them. They just manage to cheer me up even in my worst moods.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What does your workout routine look like?
Ms. Tanishaa Mukerji:
I do an intense one-hour workout every day. I alternate between cardio, weight training, and Pilates. I also brisk walk, jog, cycle and do yoga when I am traveling. So, my exercise routine varies, and I like to keep it that way. The change keeps me excited about working out and doesn’t let boredom set in. I enjoy doing Pilates with my trainer Namrata Purohit. It’s one exercise which keeps me motivated to stay fit and strong.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
With many actresses undergoing fitness transformations like Parineeti Chopra and Sonakshi Sinha, do you see a drift in the outlook towards fitness in the women of our country today? What do you think has led to this change?
Ms. Tanishaa Mukerji:
Definitely, there has been more emphasis on fitness today with women especially in our film industry. Back then a lot of actresses didn’t think about fitness as it was not so relevant for them in terms of getting a role or fitting a character. Today because roles are expanding and because fitness has become so conversational in our country, the conversation in Bollywood needs to be about fitness. Besides, the Bollywood industry also the represents our country on an international level, so how can the industry be unfit. Also, today Cancer has become very prevalent in India, there has been increase in a number of cases of women having breast cancer or diabetes that has pushed women to change their fitness mantra and that is why more women are getting into healthy lifestyle management.
I think it is great that Parineeti and Sonakshi have transformed themselves in to getting more fit and have inspired a lot of women to follow the fitness path.
