When not shooting
As of today, [while prepping for a role], I do high-intensity functional exercises, which include plyometric jumps, box jumps and other similar dynamic movements. These are difficult. So I don't do them all the time. When I'm in between achieving a goal, I take it easy and give my body time to relax. I prefer pilates, which is gentler, and provides a wholesome [workout]. Also, I like classical weight-training; not one that increases the heart rate too much. I enjoy swimming and movement oriented workouts [that combine] yoga and functional training into a cardiovascular pattern. I literally decide the night before what I'm going to do the next day.
Training for reel
[My routine is crafted] to achieve the required look for a film. In Tiger Zinda Hai, I wanted to look like someone who is capable of pulling off that kind of action, so, I needed the tone and definition. For Bharat, [where I played a] girl from the '70s and '90s, I could not look like someone who goes to the gym. So, I stopped functional training entirely for that period, and did only pilates and yoga. I enjoyed the break. For a film that demands a [heightened] level of fitness, a stage show or photo-shoot, I will tweak my routine to include high-intensity work, cardiovascular exercises, and swimming. I mix it up. I find it exciting to mould my physique based on the demand. Yet, I am always in touch with some fitness form.
