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.

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.
