Freedom Special: Celebs Break Free From Unhealthy Habits

To mark Independence Day, this month, we ask Bollywood celebrities to share with us the unhealthy habits they have freed themselves from…

Raveena Tandon

“Bad habits interrupt the flow of life, and prevent you from accomplishing your goals. Most of the time, they are simply a way of dealing with boredom.

“Earlier, I used to skip the first meal of the day, which can have serious consequences on one’s weight and energy levels.

“Breaking a bad habit takes time and effort, but mostly it takes perseverance.

“I needed to transform into a healthy person, so I started setting my diet plan two weeks in advance. It was a simple and workable solution"

Sharman Joshi

“French fries are my all-time favourite but I have stopped indulging in them, and I have been successful in giving it up.

“I stated following a protein-rich diet and practise moderation in everything.”

Mandana Karimi

“I used to eat junk food (as I don’t put on weight easily). But I started eating clean and green food, and I even tried turning vegetarian.

“So basically, I changed my eating habits. Now I eat junk food only once a week, when I’m on vacation or when I’ve been regular at the gym and my yoga classes.”

Tanishaa Mukerji

“The one bad habit I managed to beat is binging on chocolate!

“Eating even a small piece of chocolate just made me want to eat more! It had turned into a craving.

“But I consciously made an effort to stop thinking about chocolate, by distracting my mind from it. We can achieve anything once we put our mind to it, an that is exactly what worked for me!

“This was my single unhealthy habit, but I finally managed to free myself from my chocolate binging"
