Megha Ray shares how dumbbells on set keep her fit for action sequences in Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani; says ‘It's just a small morning warm-up'

Time of India23-07-2025
While most actors begin their shoot days with a cup of chai, actress Megha Ray prefers a different kind of boost — a quick dumbbell session in her makeup room. Currently seen as the strong and spirited Divya in Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani, Megha has turned fitness into a non-negotiable part of her routine, even amid a demanding TV schedule.
Recently spotted lifting weights behind the scenes, Megha shared, 'It's just a small morning warm-up. This isn't my actual workout routine. Whenever I get time, either before or after makeup, I quickly lift some weights. It helps tone my arms and overall makes me feel better. Every morning, I lift my dumbbells for a couple of minutes. I feel it improves my posture and makes me feel strong and confident. Our show Divya Prem is all about strength and action, so I like feeling strong.
That's why dumbbells are a part of my morning warm-up.'
For Megha, fitness isn't just about aesthetics — it's a necessity. 'Staying fit is essential. Of course, it looks good on screen, but more importantly, when I'm fit, I don't feel tired at work. Touchwood, I can manage long shoot days, I can dance for hours, and I want to carry that energy with me throughout my life. So yes, warming up and exercising are important — not just to look good, but to feel good.

Looking ahead, Megha hopes to expand her on-set gym setup. 'I actually want to push myself and try more advanced workouts, something I've been planning for a long time. But with TV schedules, it's difficult to maintain that rhythm. I'm figuring out how to bring fitness on set, which is why I've slowly started setting things up here. Right now, it's just dumbbells, but I do plan to bring in more equipment for regular use.
'
Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani follows the mystical journey of Divya, a girl from Ujjain, whose world shifts when she meets Prem — a tale filled with love, secrets, and power.

Child's crayon drawing turned into an animated clip Strider, the three-year-old son of Elon Musk and Shivon Zilis, recently made a bright and playful sketch of a yellow spaceship flying toward a pink version of Mars.

Zilis posted the short clip on X (formerly Twitter), writing: 'Imagine bringing images to life.' The animation retained the colours and shapes from the original drawing, turning them into a soft and flowing animated sequence. Musk shares the animation with followers Shortly after the clip was posted, Elon Musk reshared it on his own X handle.
