I start thinking about groceries, the laundry, and what errands I forgot. I just can't switch off!' It's moments like that real, honest, a little messy — that make her so easy to connect with. But while she may not be a fan of meditation and mindfulness on a mat, Shweta is incredibly disciplined about her food. Her dietician, Dr. Kinita Patel, shared with News18 back in 2021 how committed she is. 'Even during busy shoot days, she stuck to her plan. Every meal was sorted in advance. If she had to eat on camera, she'd call me first just to be sure it fit into her routine.' What really stands out about Shweta is that she's not chasing perfection — she's just being herself. She listens to her body, does what feels right, and doesn't stress about what doesn't. And honestly, that's probably the most powerful part of her glow. It's not just about looking good — it's about living well.
