    "My comfort food is khichdi, french fries and dal-chawal! Honestly, my go-to health food be maintaining a balanced diet of vegetables and carbohydrates. Also, I absolutely love fruits!"


    How does she stay fit?


    "I do a combination of routines which include pilates and sometimes, swimming or a badminton session. I believe it's very important to be active physically everyday even when it looks very difficult to manage amidst the busy schedules," she quips.
