To Stay Healthy, Shakti Arora Eats Home-Cooked Meals With Regular Workout Sessions
Shakti Arora opened up about the lifestyle habits that help him stay fit, focused and full of energy despite his hectic shooting schedules.
Television heartthrob Shakti Arora has long been admired not just for his acting prowess but also for the discipline he maintains off-screen. Known for his impressive performances in hit shows like Meri Aashiqui Tum Se Hi, Kundali Bhagya and Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, the actor makes sure to maintain a healthy lifestyle with mindful wellness habits and regular workout sessions.
Now, the actor sat for an interview with a media portal, where he opened up about the lifestyle habits that help him stay fit, focused, and full of energy despite his hectic shooting schedules.
During a chat with ETimes, the actor shared, 'To keep my energy levels up, I focus on staying consistent with my workouts. I try to mix things up with cardio and strength training, which keeps it interesting and effective."
The Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin actor, who has recently incorporated yoga and meditation into his daily routine, reveals that these mindful practices help him stay calm and centered, especially on long and stressful shoot days. 'Sleep is non-negotiable for me, and I do my best to eat a balanced diet with enough protein and nutrients. Lately, I have also started including yoga and meditation in my daily routine. It really helps me stay centered, focused, and calm on long and stressful shoot days," he said.
Shakti Arora's Health Comes First
Balancing a tight shooting schedule with health isn't easy, but Shakti makes it work. 'I've realised it's necessary if I want to give my 100%. I usually fit in quick but intense workout sessions that leave me energised. And honestly, walking is something I absolutely love. It's my way of clearing my head, relaxing after a long day, or just enjoying some quiet time with myself," he said.
He also spoke about the importance of warm-ups before action-heavy roles. The actor added, 'When it comes to action scenes, I make sure I'm well-prepared. One important thing I've learned is to never skip warm-ups. I once skipped it and ended up with a painful tennis elbow. That incident taught me how crucial it is to condition your body before stepping on set."
Shakti Arora's skincare and diet plan
Shakti opened up about his diet plan. Revealing that he has adopted a vegetarian lifestyle, the actor said that he keeps his diet simple. 'My day starts with warm water, and I usually skip breakfast. Lunch is usually grilled vegetables, paneer, and sabzi made at home, always with a good portion of salad. Dinner is dal, roti, sabzi, and tofu to maintain my protein intake. I prefer everything home-cooked and light," he mentioned.
Coming to skincare, the actor keeps it minimal. He noted, 'Since we're under makeup and lights for long hours, I just make sure I stay hydrated and moisturise properly. I like to keep it natural and simple. That works best for me."
In the same interview, Shakti revealed that the more natural the routine, the better he feels overall. He said, 'I don't really believe in fancy detox drinks. For me, water is the best detox. Simplicity really is key when it comes to health. One habit I never skip is drinking warm water first thing in the morning. It gives me a fresh start to the day."
Shakti Arora's Work Front
The actor was last seen in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin. The television show has undergone major shifts since its launch. Starting with the first generation, the show found success with leads Ayesha Singh, Neil Bhatt and Aishwarya Sharma. The baton was then passed to the second generation, which featured the trio Shakti Arora, Bhavika Sharma and Sumit Singh. The latest narrative starred Vaibhavi Hankare, Param Singh and Sanam Johar, but due to lower TRP, Bhavika re-entered the show, alongside Hitesh Bharadwaj and Amayra Khurana.

Does Karisma Kapoor have a stake in late ex-husband Sunjay Kapur's ₹30,000 crore estate? The truth behind the buzz revealed
After the sudden and tragic demise of businessman Sunjay Kapur on June 12, 2025, speculation began swirling about the distribution of his vast ₹30,000 crore estate. While some media reports hinted that his former wife, Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, might have a stake in his assets, sources close to the actress have now set the record straight. According to a recent report by ETimes, Karisma Kapoor is not involved in any inheritance or property-related matters following her ex-husband's passing. 'The children will receive what is due to them. Karisma's focus remains entirely on them,' a source close to the family told the publication, firmly dismissing any claims that the actress is eyeing a share in Kapur's wealth.

His mother, Rani Kapur, who holds a majority stake in Sona Comstar , the USD 3.5 billion auto tech firm Sunjay chaired, has allegedly clarified that Karisma has no role in the property division. Adding clarity, BollywoodShaadis reported that Karisma is not staking any claim in Sunjay's estate. The actress, who has long stayed away from media controversies post-divorce, appears focused solely on the well-being of her children—Samaira and Kiaan—whom she shares with the late industrialist. A Marriage That Was Never Meant to Be? Karisma and Sunjay married in 2003 but officially divorced in 2016 after a long, tumultuous period marked by public legal battles and personal differences. Veteran filmmaker Suneel Darshan, who worked closely with Karisma and has deep connections with the Kapoor family, recently reflected on the marriage in a conversation with journalist Vickey Lalwani.

He suggested that Karisma, despite her celebrity status, longed for a quiet, grounded life focused on family and simplicity—values that clashed with the high-society lifestyle of Delhi's elite, into which she had married. 'She was placed into a world that was not hers,' Darshan remarked, adding, 'She was in this palatial house with endless cars, but it just wasn't her world.' Sunjay's Legacy and the Family Divide Sunjay Kapur died of a cardiac arrest reportedly triggered by an allergic reaction after accidentally swallowing a bee during a polo match in the UK. His untimely death at 53 left behind not just a grieving family, but also an unresolved inheritance matter tied to one of India's most valuable privately held estates. While Karisma has maintained dignified silence, insiders confirm she attended Sunjay's funeral in New Delhi alongside her sister Kareena Kapoor Khan and brother-in-law Saif Ali Khan.

The Real Stake Although Karisma Kapoor has no legal or financial claim in Sunjay Kapur's estate, her two children remain rightful heirs, and that, according to sources, is where her heart lies. As she continues to live life on her terms—quietly and away from public drama—her focus is unwavering: protecting her children's emotional and financial well-being.

I taught you chess, you now beat me without mercy. You taught me to swim—dragged a water-phobic soul into the deep end (emotionally and literally).

Once you are into this forum, you have to get used to the scrutiny, right? I do that on a daily basis. Even if my parents would bring a topic that they must have heard or read somewhere about me, that also doesn't bother me.'
