Shah Rukh Khan’s Chak De India co-star is the talk of the town yet again, not for a new film but for her inspiring fitness routine. Her fans can’t stop asking, “What’s the secret behind that toned body?” From yoga mats to Instagram posts, her fitness tips have set major goals for anyone who dreams of staying healthy, naturally and mindfully. The actress in question is none other than Vidya Malvade. Beyond acting, she is also a certified yoga instructor with a passion for holistic living. Vidya begins her day early at 5:20 am sharp. She spends over an hour meditating and chanting mantras, ensuring her morning starts with positivity and peace. Her morning drink is a wellness remedy, lukewarm water mixed with lemon, cinnamon, Triphala, dry ginger, apple cider vinegar and a spoon of ghee. It helps with detox, digestion and glowing skin. Breakfast is usually light but filling, a gram flour and tofu cheela with almonds and walnuts. She follows this with a wholesome lunch of sambar, sweet potato and cauliflower sabzi, tofu sauté and ghee, along with beetroot, avocado salad. Dinner is kept simple and soothing, a bowl of pumpkin and carrot soup topped with nuts and seeds. The reason? Eating light after sunset helps the body align with its natural rhythm. Her fitness mantra is all about gratitude as she takes three deep breaths before every meal and smile, saying “Thank You.” Twice a week, she goes fully vegetarian. On other days, she balances her protein intake with eggs and fish, keeping her meals clean and her energy levels steady. Desi ghee is her all-time favourite secret. She swears by it for supple skin, strong hair and joint flexibility and always uses pure ghee for its health benefits. For good sleep, Vidya suggests warming half a teaspoon of ghee with nutmeg powder and putting two drops in each nostril. Vidya Malvade continues to inspire fans not just with her wellness routine, but with her work too. Her unforgettable roles in Chak De India and Mismatched are our favourites.
