Old age comes with its share of health and weight issues. But yesteryear actress, Aruna Irani still radiates good health.
In her late fifties, Aruna Irani has been in the industry for almost five decades and still looks as fit as a fiddle. CS spoke to her about her fitness mantra:
A single meal a day
Keeping your body fit and in shape is quite a struggle for every actor. I am no exception. I have worked really hard to look presentable in my 50-year old career. I believe in one meal a day. I start my day with a cup of tea and a single biscuit.
However, my lunch is a heavy one. I eat as much as I can at that time of the day. I have a glass of dudhi (gourd) juice late in the evening. For dinner, I eat practically nothing. It only comprises of an apple with a glass of juice or milk.
I have a proper dinner just about twice a month when I am going out for a dinner or some special occasion. Let me tell you that it takes a lot of discipline and determination to avoid food cravings though.
