My diet differs from time to time depending on the kind of work I am doing. I am mostly on a low-carbohydrate diet. I prefer to give myself a day off from dieting every week, and eat the things that I love. Since the food that we eat and our mood is closely related, it is essential to enjoy the foods that we like to eat — of course, in moderate quantities.

I am not a gym person. I find walking on the treadmill very boring. I enjoy doing outdoor activities, like trekking and cycling.

I have always been a fan of pilates, even before I became Miss India, because it is learning a different exercise every day. It is a core exercise so it helps with my body posture in modelling as well. I have also always been interested in Zumba. It is very exciting indeed.

When it comes to my skin, I prefer to keep things natural. I cleanse and tone twice a day and that’s about it.

But I make sure to apply sunscreen while going out to avoid the tan, especially important for a climate like India’s. Sunscreen is not just good as a sun block, but it keeps the dirt from entering your skin pores as well.

I don’t use hair conditioner regularly, only after a show when my hair is exposed to chemicals. Even without it, my hair is naturally healthy.

But I have recently used a shampoo and conditioner, which claims to contain egg, and it has shown very good results.
