Weight training and cardio to yoga, dance, Pilates
When asked 'Can you share your diet regime', the actor had joked, 'You give me money and I will give you diet tips!' However, Bipasha was more forthcoming with her workout details, and said, 'I like to do something active every day. My favourite is going to the gym for weight training and cardio. But I also try to do a little yoga, I try new classes like Pilates...at the moment I'm into some dance exercises. I try to get in some swimming in the middle of everything. So I do different things.'
Bipasha was once called 'manly with muscles'
Mrunal Thakur recently apologised for an old video that resurfaced, where she made comments about Bipasha Basu's physique, calling her 'manly with muscles'. The old video, believed to be from her early television days, sparked backlash on social media, with many accusing Mrunal of body-shaming Bipasha.
Amid this, Bipasha had shared a cryptic message on Instagram, writing, 'Strong women lift each other up.' The actor emphasised the importance of women supporting each other, and also encouraged women to prioritise physical and mental strength, saying, 'Get those muscles, beautiful ladies... Muscles help you attain good physical and mental health forever!'

Avneet Kaur Shows How Combat Training Builds More Than Just Strength
Last Updated: Avneet Kaur was recently seen sweating it out in the gym as she incorporated combat training in her fitness regime. The actor was seen throwing some serious punches in the video. When it comes to fitness, Avneet Kaur knows how to keep things interesting. The actress is not just lifting weights or running miles on the treadmill. She has recently added combat training to her workout routine, and the results are as inspiring as they are powerful. Her trainer, Rohit Nair, gave fans a sneak peek on Instagram, sharing a video of Avneet in full gear, gloves on and determination written all over her face. Dressed in a sports bra, relaxed-fit joggers, and white sneakers, Avneet Kaur looked equal parts stylish and fierce. With Rohit holding the pads, she unleashed sharp punches and swift kicks, moving with surprising confidence for a beginner. It wasn't just about looking good. It was about embodying strength, focus, and resilience. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rohit Nair (@rohityson_) Why combat training? Beyond the adrenaline rush, this intense form of exercise offers multiple benefits that go far beyond the gym. For starters, it is a full-body workout. Every punch, kick, and block engages multiple muscle groups, helping build lean strength and endurance. Unlike repetitive cardio, combat keeps the body guessing and the mind alert, making it a great way to beat monotony. Benefits Of Combat Training One of the biggest advantages is stamina building. Combat training pushes your cardiovascular system to the next level, ensuring you can sustain energy not just during workouts but throughout your daily routine. It also improves coordination and reflexes – skills that translate into better posture, agility, and balance. Another underrated benefit is stress relief. There is something therapeutic about throwing punches at pads, channelling all your energy into the workout, and walking away lighter, calmer, and more focused. As Rohit Nair pointed out, combat instils discipline, focus, and resilience. It also empowers you with self-defence skills – an invaluable asset for anyone, especially women. Avneet's choice to explore this high-intensity training is a reminder that fitness is not about fitting into one mould. It's about challenging yourself, pushing boundaries, and finding joy in movement. Watching her own the combat floor is not just motivation; it's proof that fitness can be both fierce and fun.

Saaniya Chandhok's Girls Trip Video With Sara Tendulkar Goes Viral Amid Arjun Engagement News
Last Updated: A video has resurfaced showing Sara Tendulkar and Saaniya Chandhok enjoying a girls-only trip to the beach. Arjun Tendulkar's reported engagement to Saaniya Chandhok has recently stirred up social media. Although neither family has officially confirmed the news, netizens are eagerly discussing the potential new power couple. Arjun, the son of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, is not active on social media, but his sister Sara is quite the opposite. With a following of 8.5 million, she is a popular influencer. Ever since the engagement rumours emerged, fans have been flooding her posts, especially those featuring Saaniya, with excitement and curiosity. A video has resurfaced showing Sara and Saaniya enjoying a girls-only trip to the beach. Shared in October 2024, the video has garnered over 60 million views and more than 5 million likes on Instagram. The caption read, 'Table for Three." The video highlights the strong bond between Sara and Saaniya. As reports of the latter's engagement made headlines, interest in Saaniya grew, who works as a veterinary technician in Mumbai. After old photos of her with Arjun Tendulkar and his family resurfaced online, a new video has emerged showing Saaniya attending a private family gathering. The occasion was the launch of Sara Tendulkar's Pilates Academy in Andheri, Mumbai—an extension of her already successful Dubai venture. Saaniya Chandhok is reportedly the granddaughter of prominent Mumbai businessman Ravi Ghai, whose family has established itself in the hospitality and food industries. The family owns the InterContinental hotel and the popular ice cream brand Brooklyn Creamery. According to reports, she is a Designated Partner and Director at Mr. Paws Pet Spa & Store LLP, based in Mumbai. Arjun Tendulkar, much like his legendary father, chose cricket as his career and is a left-arm pacer representing Goa in domestic cricket and the Mumbai Indians in the IPL. His net worth is estimated at around ₹22 crore, with a major share of his earnings coming from the IPL. Mumbai Indians first picked him up in 2021 at his base price of ₹20 lakh and later retained him in 2022 for ₹30 lakh. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
