Ankita Lokhande's Holistic Routine Is A Whole Vibe: No Gym, Just Joy
Last Updated: Ankita Lokhande reveals her simple, holistic wellness routine rooted in morning rituals, herbal remedies, and joyful movement. Ankita Lokhande, best known for her role in Pavitra Rishta, is embracing a wellness lifestyle that goes beyond gym workouts and calorie counting. In a recent vlog on her YouTube channel ANVI, the actress gave fans an intimate look into her self-care routine, one that's rooted in old-school wisdom, everyday mindfulness, and body positivity. Instead of focusing on weight loss or building a certain physique, Ankita believes in feeling good, staying active, and nurturing the body and mind with intention. Her holistic approach proves that consistency, simplicity, and tradition can go a long way in keeping you healthy and glowing. 1. Morning Rituals With Saffron and the Sun Her day starts with a mindful ritual soaking saffron strands in a silver glass overnight and heading outdoors barefoot to greet the rising sun. 'Speak in the present, like it's already done," Ankita says about her habit of setting affirmations to the water before drinking it. For her, this quiet morning moment fuels energy and gratitude. 2. Daily Ice Cubes for Glowing Skin Forget salon facials, Ankita swears by homemade skin boosters. She uses frozen cubes made of flaxseeds, fenugreek, aloe vera gel, rice water, and vitamin E capsules to massage her face every morning. 'It's not once a week. It's every day." You won't find Ankita grinding on a treadmill. Instead, she opts for joyful movement, whether it's Zumba, a YouTube walking session, or just freestyle dance in her living room. 'I don't want to lose weight, nor do I want to build a body. I just want to stay fit and happy," she shares. 4. Ice Face Dips for Calm and Clarity Ankita dips her face into a bowl filled with ice, lemon juice, and cucumber slices as part of her morning skincare ritual. The experience is both invigorating and grounding. '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 repeats this dip ten times in one go. 5. Herbal Water Full of Power Ingredients Ankita and her husband Vicky Jain start their day with a potent herbal tonic made with fenugreek, fennel, cinnamon, garlic, aloe vera, triphala, Brahmi, ashwagandha, Shilajit, amla, black seed oil, cow ghee, lemon, and soaked nuts. A powerhouse drink that fuels their day. 6. Seed Powder Blend for Bone Health At night, Ankita winds down with a traditional remedy, a warm drink of roasted and powdered cumin, fennel, and carom seeds. 'Your bones need love too," she reminds us, using this soothing blend to nourish her joints and unwind before bed. Ankita is candid about not always feeling up to the routine, but she believes in showing up for herself regardless. Her message is simple yet powerful, 'Please take care of yourself. Because if you're there, the world is there." Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Kahani Pehele Pyaar Ki actor Mohit Arora on why television budgets are pushing talent out of Mumbai; says ‘The struggle is real'
Television actor , known for his roles in Pavitra Rishta, Jhansi Ki Rani, and Milke Bhi Hum Na Mile, is currently essaying a pivotal character in Kahani Pehele Pyaar Ki. Having witnessed the evolving landscape of Indian television firsthand, Mohit has now opened up about the financial challenges plaguing the industry — and why they're forcing many talented actors to abandon Mumbai. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'There was a time when television offered stability, not just creatively but financially too,' Mohit reflected. 'But now, with budgets dropping drastically, even experienced artists are struggling to find well-paying work. Many of my peers, some very talented actors, have either switched careers completely or moved back to their hometowns because surviving in Mumbai without consistent work has become nearly impossible. ' Beyond the immediate financial squeeze, Mohit also drew attention to the emotional and professional impact this shift is having. 'It's not just about glamour or fame — acting was a full-time, dedicated profession for so many of us. But when payments are delayed or roles are offered at a fraction of what they used to be, it pushes artists to reconsider their path,' he said. 'Some have started their own businesses, some have taken up alternate jobs in media, while others have quietly exited the industry altogether. ' Mohit admits he has adapted his own approach in response to these changes. 'I've always believed in staying aware and not making the passion of acting my sole source of bread and butter. I still feel lucky to be working, but I won't deny that it's disheartening to see passionate actors being forced out due to financial instability.' His candid words serve not just as a personal reflection, but also as a reminder that behind the glamour of television lies a reality that's becoming increasingly difficult for artists to navigate.
