Fitness expert Warda Nadiadwala's six-pack abs are hard-earned. "My husband had said that he would marry me on the condition that I become super fit," she jokes. The diktat was taken seriously. After practising taekwondo and mixed martial arts, Warda, who is married producer Sajid Nadiadwala, launched Self Defence, a YouTube show, last year. Here, she offered basic techniques to defend oneself in any situation. After the completion of season one, she went off the radar for eight months. "People in my circle were wondering why I had chosen to take a break," she says. "The truth is, I wasn't really on a break. I was working offline."

Last month, she released season 2 of Self Defence on YouTube, which has already garnered shoutouts from Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani. Nadiadwala has also gone beyond her digital presence by tying up with a local NGO, Mesco, to take self-defence to underprivileged girls in Mumbai.
