What is Malaika’s fitness secret

When Soha asked the secret behind Malaika's amazing look, the actor replied, "I believe in Vocal for Local," Malaika says. "Ghee is my superfood. This is something I have prioritised my entire life."

She adds, “I mean, one would like, I would like to give a lot of credit to jeans, I've never really consulted Rujuta directly, but I know her philosophy. I know what she believes in and how she goes about telling people what they should or shouldn't do. A lot of it is what I incorporate in my life as well, which is literally Vocal for Local.”

‘Ghee is my superfood’

Malaika continues, "I've done that my entire life, eating very basic, home-cooked meals. Ghee is my superfood, literally. These are things she really propagates, but it's something I've been doing my entire life."

She also shares her other principles: “Sleep, water, discipline, consistency, I know these are all words, but when you actually put them into practice, it makes a huge difference in your life. I truly live by these principles.” Reflecting on age, she says, "I'm 51, but I feel it's just a number. Age is not something that defines me, and I think it's very important to live this way."
