When asked ‘Can you share your diet regime’, the actor had joked, “You give me money and I will give you diet tips!” However, Bipasha was more forthcoming with her workout details, and said, “I like to do something active every day. My favourite is going to the gym for weight training and cardio. But I also try to do a little yoga, I try new classes like Pilates…at the moment I’m into some dance exercises. I try to get in some swimming in the middle of everything. So I do different things.”
Bipasha was once called ‘manly with muscles’
Mrunal Thakur recently apologised for an old video that resurfaced, where she made comments about Bipasha Basu’s physique, calling her ‘manly with muscles’. The old video, believed to be from her early television days, sparked backlash on social media, with many accusing Mrunal of body-shaming Bipasha.
Amid this, Bipasha had shared a cryptic message on Instagram, writing, “Strong women lift each other up.” The actor emphasised the importance of women supporting each other, and also encouraged women to prioritise physical and mental strength, saying, “Get those muscles, beautiful ladies… Muscles help you attain good physical and mental health forever!”
