Gorgeous Deepa Parab, the contemporary bahu of Sony's Thodi Khushi Thode Gham is very conscious about her figure. Though, she doesn't really believe in dieting but swears by her fitness mantra.

Here, she shares with us the secret behind her well toned body.

My Fitness mantra
I workout thrice a week for about half an hour. I begin with a warm up session and then proceed to other free hand exercises. I don't believe in doing heavy weights, as I believe gymming is to tone my body and not to build muscles.

My daily dose of diet
I avoid eating oily food but that doesn't mean that I'll not indulge in spicy food once a week. I don't believe in dieting. Ghar ka khana keeps me going.

My Dabba
It consists of fruit salad, two rotis, vegetable, chicken curry and curd. I keep it light during night time.

My Style mantra
I wear clothes that make me look good and feel comfortable. I prefer wearing Jeans and a t-shirt while not shooting. Off late, I've also developed a liking for traditional clothes.

Accessories I love to wear
I'm fond of wearing diamond and platinum jewellery. I'm very feminine in my sense of dressing up and like all girlie things.

Four things you'll always find in my purse
A small make up box, cell phone, perfume and a book.

My favourite books
I adore reading love stories and non-fiction books. I do indulge myself in reading Hindi and Marathi novels. My favourite authors are Prabhakar Pendnekar, Phul Deshpande and John Grey. In short, I'm a book worm.

"Music is my soul"
I like instrumental and Indian classical music.
