I don’t like my knees: Soha Ali Khan
...says actress Soha Ali Khan, who is not regular at attending gym sessions, and doesn’t mind if her man has six pack abs or not.
The secret behind my fit body: Good genetic inheritance, a little bit of hard work and discipline has helped me to achieve a fit body. I inherited a high metabolic rate from my dad, who is a sportsman; and a petite frame from my mom.
My fitness regime: I don’t have a fitness regime per se, because I get bored very quickly. I go to the gym — sometimes everyday for three weeks and then not at all for three weeks. When I get bored, I do yoga, kathak and tennis. Badminton is my new fad. I keep varying my fitness regime. I try to run six kilometers in a week. I was always a fitness conscious person, even before I entered Bollywood because I like being active.
My diet: I stay away from too much ice cream and too many aerated drinks but at the same time I drink a lot of water and eat at the regular intervals.
My best body feature: I am quiet comfortable in my skin. I am in proportion. The idea is not to be perfectly symmetrical but just to be yourself.
My worst body feature: I don’t like my knees, and the third toe on my right foot is bizarrely shorter than the rest of the toes. The rest of my body is fine.
The Bollywood hero with the fittest body: Emraan Hashmi. Would I like my man to have six packs? Not necessarily. It’s more important for him to be kind, and respect me more than the six packs. But if he comes with a six pack I am not going to reject him. The Bollywood Heroine with the fittest body: Everyone is fit. Shilpa Shetty has a great body.
I looked fittest onscreen in: Dil Kabbadi.
A piece of advice for aspiring girls: There are no shortcuts in fitness. Eat well, workout and be happy.
