When Neha Dhupia decided to step into the world of showbiz, the first thing she did was to steel herself into not indulging in high-calorie food, especially sweets. The actor is health conscious and feels running is the best exercise “as it is therapeutic.” Her svelte frame belies her claim of ODing on Gujarati fare like theplas, khaman, khandvis and dhokhla-chutney. She agrees it is not easy to be a fitness fanatic 24/7, but it is not impossible if you watch what you eat coupled with some form of exercise. Neha’s New Year resolution is to “go beyond cooking corn cheese pies” while she tells us about her food habits.
