Taking to her yoga mat with her trainer to perform guided breathwork as part of this photoshoot, Shilpa Shetty Kundra sits for far too long than would be needed to take a few shots. The photographer and I exchange puzzled looks, and contemplate interrupting her to inform that we got the shots we desired. Her publicist steps in, letting us know that once she begins her meditative practices, she must perform a certain number of cycles before she can conclude.
It’s what Shetty later tells us too, as we get talking about her athletic practices. “Chance pe dance,” she says with her quintessential laugh, letting us in on the fact that since she had to miss her practice on the given day to make herself available for this conversation, she took the opportunity to meditate when she could.
Laymen would wonder how much five minutes of meditative work could contribute to keeping Shetty—two years shy of turning 50 years old—looking better than many do in their 30s. In the same vein, they’d ponder about the effectiveness of the 15-minute bit-sized workout routines that many media houses conjure up and sell as ‘Shilpa’s fitness regimen’, based on an innocuous picture she may share on social media. Just as we get on the mat to do ‘some’ yoga with Shetty—well aware that the assorted exercises will do nothing to contribute to our wellness—the actor knows that the sprinkling of content online may do little to address the needs of confounded viewers. It’s precisely why she discusses the importance of learning about the science of fitness, on more occasions than one.
