Ankita Lokhande's Wellness Routine Is All About Ancient Hacks And Ice Tub Face Dips
When it comes to her health and wellness, Ankita Lokhande keeps it holistic. Known for her work in the television industry, the actress recently took to her YouTube blog ANVI to share her fitness routine. Ankita Lokhande said that her routine is less about the gym and more about grounded rituals, inner peace and old-school home remedies. In her latest vlog, Ankita Lokhande takes her fans through her wellness journey, which is a blend of mindful living, traditional wisdom and body positivity. Ankita Lokhande's Wellness Routine Here's what the Pavitra Rishta actor does in her everyday life to stay healthy and glowing: 1. Follows A Morning Ritual Ankita Lokhande's day begins with intention. She soaks 2-3 strands of saffron in a silver glass overnight, then heads outdoors barefoot to greet the morning sun. She believes in talking to water to set affirmations – 'Speak in the present, like it's already done,' she says. This ritual, rooted in gratitude, helps her stay grounded and energetic. 2. Keeps Her Skin Glowing With Ice Cubes Forget fancy facials. Ankita Lokhande swears by a blend of flaxseeds, fenugreek seeds, aloe vera gel, rice water and vitamin E capsules – all frozen into ice cubes. She puts the ice cubes on her face every morning to make her skin glow. 'It's not once a week. It's every day.' 3. Dances Her Way To Fitness No treadmill in sight. Ankita Lokhande's go-to workout is dance - sometimes Zumba, sometimes YouTube walking workouts, or just vibing freestyle. 'I don't want to lose weight, nor do I want to build a body. I just want to stay fit and happy,' the actress says. 4. Ice Tub Face Dips For Skin She does the ice tub face dips for a glowing skin and to keep herself calm. A bowl of ice, lemon juice and cucumber slices becomes her morning reset button. 'It tightens your skin, slows down your thought process, and gives you calmness. As soon as it touches your nervous system, your anxiety drops.' She does it 10 times in one go. 5. Uses Power-Packed Herbal Water Ankita Lokhande and her husband, Vicky Jain, start the day with a herbal water blend that could rival any health store tonic. The mix? Fenugreek, cinnamon, fennel, carom seeds, aloe vera, garlic, lemon, Shilajit (gifted by Ali Goni), triphala, Brahmi, amla, ashwagandha, black seed oil, cow ghee and soaked nuts. 6. Roasted Seed Powder For Joints And Bones At night, Ankita Lokhande sits and relaxes with a traditional mix of roasted and powdered cumin, fennel and carom seeds - all dissolved in hot water. It is her go-to for bone and joint health. 'Your bones need love too,' she says. Ankita Lokhande admits she doesn't always feel like doing all this. Her approach to wellness is refreshingly honest and rooted in self-care, not aesthetics. As Ankita puts it best: 'Please take care of yourself. Because if you're there, the world is there.' Ankita Lokhande's wellness rituals are simple and easy to follow.

Rubina Dilaik, freshly off the sets of Laughter Chefs 2, opened up about being body shamed on her YouTube podcast Kisine Bataya Nahi. She shared that she was criticised for the way she looked on the sets of her first show in 2008 while talking to Ankita Lokhande on the podcast, She recalled that she went on a strict soup-only diet to lose weight. She said that while she was able to shed the extra kilos, the "glow" was gone when Rubina started her second show. "I was called chubby. I used to wonder... I have baby fat here and there. Ek director ne camera ke peeche se chillakar bola that, 'waapis bhejo Himachal mein... isko na chalna aata hai aur dikhti bhi golmatol hai '."(Once a director told me that they should send me back to Himachal... She doesn't know how to walk and is fat.) "You are literally mistreated. It stains your memory to an extent that I went on boiled spinach soup and nutri (diet) for one complete year, and I pledged to myself that I am going to get to size zero, and I achieved that," said the actor on her podcast. Speaking about looking pale and sick in the show, Rubina Dilaik highlighted, "My energies were so down. That phase... when I look back... I am like, what was I thinking... I wish somebody had taught me how to embrace myself. Kisine nahi bataya, aap apne me khoobsurat hai. (No one told us that you are beautiful in the way you are.) "I was 19-20 when I came, and I had come from the mountains... having grown up on ghee, milk, curd... golmatol bachcha hai... woh freshness thi... in my second show, my cheekbones used to be visible... my waist was snatched... but the glow was missing.. It took me a long time to get out of this cycle. I don't want that for my children now." Body shaming is believed to leave a drastic impact on a person's life. In fact, several studies, including the one published in the South African Journal of Psychiatry, found that body shaming can affect a person mentally and socially.
