Fitness should be a way of life, says Sonakshi

Actor Sonakshi Sinha, who was last seen on screen in Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi, is on a journey to get fit, but she says that looking good was never a priority in her life.

Talking about her transformation journey from flab to fit, Sonakshi says, “For me, while growing up, it was never about looks because this (acting) is not what I wanted to do in life.”

She adds that she wanted to be many things — become a fashion designer, marine biologist, and an astronaut — at different phases of her life.

“So, I wanted to do a lot of things that is why good looks was never in the forefront for me. I was a complete tom-boy. My whole life revolved around sports...I was good at sports, in speaking (debating) and in my school work. So, I had all these things to be confident about, but unfortunately, a lot of girls don’t have that mind space. I would like them to have that mind space.”

About her advice on fitness, the actor, who will be next seen in Abhishek Varman’s Kalank, says, “I think results are the biggest motivator and any woman when she sees results on herself will want to improve on them and keep at it. I think fitness should be a way of life no matter what profession you are in.”

Sonakshi says that it’s important to be happy in life. “Until you are happy from within, it’s not going to show outside. I think if you want to transform yourself then, you first need to train your mind and then your body will follow,” she says.

Sonakshi Sinha says seeing a positive result is the biggest motivator for any women
