Last year Aishwarya had joined Abhishek in Miami while he was shooting for ‘Dostana’. This year as well the couple had planned to spend the day together on the set of Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavan’. But the sudden illness of Mani has pushed the shooting schedule back, giving the couple time for a short vacation.

Bollywood beauty, Preity Zinta Fitness 's Mantra

Bollywood beauty, Preity Zinta, reveals her high-energy fitness mantra and tips on how to keep yourself motivated.

Actor Preity Zinta talks about fitness, food, work and energy boosters to Prevention.

She co-owns a cricket team, goes bungee jumping in New Zealand, and loves playing challenging roles. The ever-exuberant Preity Zinta does all this and much else with rare zest. We found out what keeps her going. What's your fitness routine like? I exercise every morning, that's a part of my routine. I also practise kick boxing it keeps me agile. I work out at the gym. I think Yoga is also a fantastic way to stay fit; I guess, slowly I will come around to it.

What's your diet? What about favourite foods?

I like idli-dosas, chaat, chhola bhatura. I'm actually a desi by nature I miss desi food when I'm abroad. I love kadhi chawal. I think I'm lucky that producers/directors often get their cooks along with the crew when shooting abroad. But I make sure I don't overindulge. I eat whatever I want to eat on Sundays and I believe in portion control. Balance is also important so I indulge myself but I balance it out by exercising as much as I can.

How do you keep your energy up?

Being an actor is not easy, it needs a lot of hard work even though I enjoy doing it. So here I am having flown half way across the globe from New Zealand to promote my new film. I enjoy my work and it keeps me going. I believe that : 'the fastest way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.'

How do you keep yourself motivated?

I think growth is very important. I often ask myself: where I am going? Sometimes I feel that 'I have been there done that,' then I immediately know I need change. I try to do different things, try different kind of roles, and develop my craft. I've learned a lot while I was working on Videsh. I want to feel that 'wow' factor in my head and that's what I try to achieve.

Are you happy with where you are now?

It is very difficult to be successful and I saw success early with some good movies. But I continue to learn new things with every film I do. I want to increase the body of my work and I'm also super excited about the IPL, I think it's going to get bigger and better. So, I have a lot to do movies and IPL, I think I'm happy with what I have!
