Rashami Desai's Real Talk: Yoga, Psoriasis And Why She Treats Salt Like A Frenemy
Last Updated: Rashami Desai opens up about her weight struggles, psoriasis journey, and how yoga and diet help her stay strong and balanced. Television star and reality show personality Rashami Desai, known for her roles in shows like Uttaran and Bigg Boss, has never shied away from discussing her relationship with her body. Over the years, she's been candid about her fluctuating weight and the effort it takes to manage it, especially with the demanding nature of her profession. Her Wellness Journey Through the Years Back during her Uttaran days, Rashami successfully shed nearly 10 kilos, a transformation she attributes to a mindful approach to food and fitness. Her transformation wasn't just cosmetic; it was rooted in self-discipline and a deeper understanding of her body. A Food-First Philosophy Rashami has always believed in the power of nutrition. 'For me, staying fit is 80% about what I eat and 20% about how much I work out," she said in a conversation with Outlook. Due to her hectic schedule, finding time for workouts isn't always possible, which makes dietary awareness even more crucial. She believes mental control over food choices leads to physical fitness, while movement and exercise help maintain a positive mindset. In a chat with Telly Masala, the 39-year-old actress mentioned she's far more conscious of her food now. She's reduced her salt intake and follows a clean, balanced diet. Planning meals in advance has become second nature, allowing her to avoid unnecessary indulgence. Yoga plays a central role in Rashami's fitness lifestyle. She performs Surya Namaskars daily and combines that with a 30-minute walk to stay active and focused. Whenever she has the time, she includes stretching and strength-building exercises into her routine. Her goal, she says, isn't rapid weight loss but achieving strength, flexibility, and mental peace. Interestingly, a 2024 study published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences supports Rashami's approach. The research showed that practicing 45 minutes of Surya Namaskars and heating Pranayama for four weeks helped lower Body Mass Index (BMI) and reduce waist circumference in participants, reinforcing the benefits of ancient Indian wellness techniques. Battling Psoriasis and Its Impact on Her Body In a heartfelt interview with Hindustan Times, Rashami opened up about her struggles with psoriasis, a chronic skin condition that significantly impacted her weight and confidence. 'I was diagnosed with psoriasis in December last year. It's a condition that can take a long time to manage, and in some cases, it may never fully go away," she shared. For several months, Rashami was on steroid-based medication, which led to noticeable weight gain. 'I wasn't allowed to be in the sun, as it worsens the symptoms. And it flares up with stress—but it's hard not to be stressed when you're in an industry where your appearance is so important." Despite the emotional and physical challenges, Rashami never allowed her condition to defeat her spirit. She remained committed to living a healthy lifestyle, focusing on nourishment and gentle movement to keep herself balanced and resilient. Her journey is a powerful reminder that wellness is not just about how you look, it's about understanding your body, honoring its limitations, and showing up with consistency and compassion. view comments First Published: July 22, 2025, 11:06 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

How Rashami Desai Lost 10 Kg With A Smart Diet And Weight Loss Routine
Known for her roles in Indian television and reality shows like Bigg Boss, Rashami Desai has always been open about her fluctuating weight and how she manages it. She has consistently stated that she tends to gain weight easily, and she has to work really hard to maintain it. Around the time of Uttaran, Rashami Desai revealed that she lost around 10 kg by following a healthy diet and fitness regimen. Here's a breakdown of her diet and fitness routine. Rashami Desai's Diet "80 per cent my diet and 20 per cent workouts, since my work doesn't allow me to work out like I used to before. I constantly watch my diet and my body. When you have control of your mind regarding what you consume, it keeps you fit, and working out gives you motivation to stay positive," as quoted by Outlook. In an interview with Telly Masala, Rashami Desai also shared that she plans her meals carefully now, as she has to be mindful of what she eats. The 39-year-old revealed that she has reduced her salt intake and eats a healthy diet. Rashami Desai's Fitness Routine Yoga plays a big role in her routine. Rashami Desai shared that she does Surya Namaskar every day along with 30 minutes of walking, which helps her stay on track with her fitness. She also includes strength training and stretching exercises when time permits. Her goal is not extreme weight loss results but strength and mental clarity. A 2024 study published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences found that Surya namaskar can help you reduce Body Mass Index (BMI) - body fat based on a person's height and weight - and waist size in people after 45 minutes of Suryanamaskara and heating Pranayama practice for 4 weeks. Rashami Desai On Psoriasis That Led To Weight Gain In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Rashami Desai shared that she suffered from a skin condition called psoriasis. "I have been dealing with health issues for the past few months. Last year, in December, I was diagnosed with Psoriasis, which is a skin problem. It takes a lot of time to be cured, and sometimes, one isn't completely cured. For the last four months, I was on a steroid treatment program, which caused weight gain. I was not allowed to go in the sun as the heat aggravates the problem. It also escalates due to stress, but it was impossible not to be stressed out about the condition as I am an actor and in this business, an actor's face is everything." However, the actor never gave up and continued to keep herself fit with resilience. She made sure to eat a healthy diet and follow a fitness regimen that would help her maintain her weight and overall health.
