Yukti Kapoor Shares Secrets To Staying Fit Amid Hectic Shooting Schedule
Yukti Kapoor from Maddam Sir reveals her fitness secrets: a positive mindset, regular workouts including yoga, and a balanced diet to stay energetic during long shoots.
Yukti Kapoor, best known for her role in the 2020 comedy series Maddam Sir, often inspires fans to stay fit. Despite her hectic schedule, the actress follows a dedicated fitness routine and prioritises self-care. In a recent interview, Yukti shared her secret to staying fresh and energetic even with long hours of shooting. According to Yukti, being in a positive state of mind, working out regularly and following a nutritious diet are non-negotiable.
Yukti Kapoor, in an interview with Times Entertainment, said, 'I always tell myself it's going to be a good day, which keeps my energy up. Your mindset really matters. I try to stay positive and remind myself to stay energetic. I believe that when I am happy from the inside, it shows outside too. I try to enjoy every scene I shoot. That happy attitude gives me energy to shoot for hours without feeling tired".
Talking about her workout practices, Yukti Kapoor revealed that she recently added yoga in her well-being routine. The actress added that she wakes up early and performs yoga. It helps her to stay calm and focused, while also enhancing her flexibility. Yukti acknowledged that yoga was something that makes her feel fresh and active even on a packed shooting day.
'It all comes down to how you speak to yourself. I will instantly feel lazy if I convince myself that Sunday is a lazy day. However, I tell myself, 'I'm strong, I can do this,' before I go to work. I tell myself that I am strong, even in action scenarios. To be honest, it functions like magic. You underestimate the power of your mind," she said.
Coming to her dietary habits, Yukti Kapoor admitted that she does not have 'any fixed diet chart". Elaborating on the topic, she said, 'For me, everything is about eating at the right time. I have two proper meals, one at 12 noon and one around 7 in the evening. That suits my body. But I enjoy my weekends. I eat whatever I fancy, especially simple homemade food like daal chawal. It is my comfort food."
To overcome exhaustion, Yukti Kapoor recommends sipping on nimbu pani (lime water) that helps her keep hydrated. 'I have nimbu pani and electrolytes when I'm feeling weak or tired. It works wonders in keeping me fresh and avoiding dehydration, especially during shoot days when we work in hot weather or with intense lights," she explained.
Yukti Kapoor takes her skincare seriously. 'Skincare requires discipline. I attempt to have a proper morning and evening routine. Previously, I'd sleep with makeup on when I was exhausted, but now I remove it before sleeping. I use homemade face packs, sheet masks, and plenty of moisturiser. I drink a lot of water as well and never miss sunscreen. These little things make a huge difference," she said.
On a concluding note, Yukti Kapoor emphasised waking up every morning with positive thoughts, praying and letting her family know how much she loves them. Practicing kindness and gratitude, coupled with meditation, were also a part of her holistic wellness routine.

Arbaaz Khan feels 'pressure' that his next movie has similar title to brother Salman Khan's Maine Pyaar Kiya? Actor reveals
Arbaaz Khan is making headlines for his upcoming movie titled, Maine Pyaar Kiya Phir Se. In a recent chat with Times Entertainment, the actor was asked whether the similarity with his brother Salman Khan's iconic movie title, Maine Pyaar Kiya, put any pressure on him. To which Arbaaz responded with a positive mindset, mentioning, 'There is no pressure.' Arbaaz Khan says 'unnecessary debate' on similarity with Salman Khan's movie title Arbaaz emphasized that similarity in titles is not a concern at all. It's the script that matters. He said, 'How does it matter? People compare your work with yours. Comparisons are not something that people should be really worried about. What is the fear? It's asking for too much to say, 'Oh, will this match the success of that? Because of the title. That is an unnecessary debate.' Arbaaz Khan further added that people would not have worked on scripts if tweaking titles could benefit them. 'If it were so easy to replicate success using titles with a twist, people would not work on scripts. They would only be working on titles. There's no pressure. It's just stupid to take pressure on the fact,' he added. Arbaaz Khan expresses that he doesn't compare himself with anyone Arbaaz Khan expressed how he is currently busier than ever. He also emphasized that he doesn't compare his journey with anyone else's. The actor said, 'I'm happy that people still come to me. I'm far busier than I used to be. I don't even have certain complaints, nor do I even compare myself with anyone, or 'Why wasn't I that?' You never know when things turn around. We've seen people after 10, 15, 20 years of their career suddenly see a high that they'd never seen.' Khan further gave an example of Bobby Deol's rise and explained how consistently being on the field can turn things in your favor. 'Look at Bobby (Deol, actor), who's a friend of mine. How well his career has panned out, just after him being patient and after being around for so long. So, just being there and playing the game (is what matters). Just be on the field. This is how you'll score the goal," he asserts. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
