Some celebs actually grow prettier and sexier with ageing and our mirror-cracking beauty Shilpa Shetty Kundra undeniably is one of them. This 47-year-old Bollywood actress has come so far from the time we had seen her for the first time in the movie Baazigar (1993). There has been a drastic transformation in her personality and appearance since then. Shilpa Shetty is the mother of two lovely kids, she had her first child in 2012 and had her second daughter in the year 2020 through surrogacy. For losing weight after pregnancy, a healthy diet plays an important role and this is what actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra diet swears by.

Shilpa Shetty Fitness Mantra
Everyone who follows her on social media knows how committed she is to fitness, especially to yoga. Shilpa maintains a fixed super healthy diet, as she believes it’s important to maintain our health and in order to do that, we need to pay attention to our diet throughout the day. She does not starve herself and even indulges in her weekly ‘Sunday binge.’ Instead of keeping her secrets of her incredibly toned figure and trimmed waist to herself, she preferred sharing her wisdom on health and fitness with the world and has launched a book, titled, “THE GREAT INDIAN DIET”, co-authored by nutrition and fitness expert Luke Coutinho.

The book is Shilpa Shetty’s effort to bring the focus to the Indian kitchen for fitness. “I have tried to bust pre-conceived notions about Indian food. People think Indian food is fattening and high in sodium, which is untrue. A simple dish like rajma chawal is a complete meal; it has the right amount of protein and nine amino acids; it’s equivalent to eating an egg. But people are tucking into quinoa instead,” she explains. This book guides people on healthy weight loss. These days everybody is so weight-obsessed that they forget about focussing on health. That’s what the book brings to focus. The book stays true to our Indian roots and will also include details of diet and fitness principles that Shilpa follows in her day-to-day routine.
