“I have never seen a gym from the inside” - Kavita Kaushik

Kavita Kaushik showcases her fit physique on CID, but the lady says she has never seen the inside of a gym! Mind-boggling, ain't it? having done a number of serials and having made her presence felt in a few feature films too, she shares her health secrets with Riya V Anandwala. Are you health conscious? Yes, I am! What do you do to keep yourself fit? Well, I eat everything, but yes, I avoid roadside food. My basic mantra of fitness is being happy and keeping my surroundings happy. I am also very particular about hygiene when it comes to my food. I binge on lots and lots of juices too. What does "being healthy" mean to you? Being healthy essentially means having a healthy mind, being happy from within which will then reflect in your body. I believe on must always avoid evil thoughts and negativity which will hamper you physically. And yes, eating well is the most important part of being healthy. Do you work out in a gym? I have never seen the face of a gym! If I got to a gym today, I will be just standing there and probably won't know what to do. It's just that I don't believe in gyms. If you don't workout in a gym, then do you exercise at home? Well, consciously I don't do anything of that type. Firstly, I am doing two daily soaps, so there is a lot of running around and fortunately, my family does not have a tendency to put on weight. In turn, I have a tendency to lose weight, if I am depressed about something I will lose my fittings in two days. How many meals do you have in a day? Don't ask me this, because I am practically eating the entire day. If I am done with my meal, and a sizzling brownie comes my way, I will hog that too. So it's that way, I never tell myself to do anything of that sort. Have you ever gone on a strict diet? Strict diet? No, never. I have never been on a normal diet too. I just can't do that. As you shoot most of the time, does it affect your health? I don't let that happen. I always try and pack up by 10 pm. If and only if its an emergency, I extend my deadline. I have seen many actors slogging 24 x 7, but if one wants to be in this line, it is not advisable to do so, its always better to take it slow and steady. Are you into adventure sports? Oh yes! I love adventure big time. I indulge in river rafting, abseiling. I have never tried bungee jumping, but I intend to do that soon. I don't like local sports; I love dangerous sports which involve high-rate of risks. Are you into Yoga? No, no way! I am a restless soul. I can't sit in one place for more than five minutes. So meditation and yoga are far away.
