Last year's closure proved to be a turning point in actor Ravee Gupta's life, both professionally and personally. She not only bagged a pivotal role of Keksi, Ravan's mother in Zee's mythological show on the demon God, but she also got hitched to the love of her life, Manoj Bidwai (17th December). Tagged as a Shilpa Shetty look-alike of the small screen, Ravee (once a model) has a lissome figure, enchanting looks and above all an envious height that sets her apart from the current breed on television. What makes us curious is how she maintains such a well-toned frame and to seek our answers we head straight to the lady in question. And to our disbelief, Ravee confessed, "I'm too lazy to hit the gym. I feel so guilty of not working out, but after slogging on the set for hours, I just don't feel like straining my self any further." Though technically she would love to work out (hard core stuff) for at least three days a week. Ravee's a self-confessed rich food eater, so wonder where those extra calories find their way! "I am very lucky in the sense my physiology is such that I don't gain weight, even if I hog fatty stuff," she admits. On a lighter note she adds, "My actor husband Manoj Bidwai just hates me for this for the poor thing has a very bad tendency of pilling on extra kilos, even if he breathes!" "Actually till about two years back, I was extremely thin. So I used to do aggressive weight training (five days a week) and the result is there for all to see. Now, I have a great figure to flaunt. Those months proved to be the best times for me health wise as I would not only feel fresh all the time, my self confidence was also on a high post work outs. I would want love to follow the same ritual even today. But unfortunately I end up enrolling in various gyms and then keep dropping out. I guess this habit of mine must have definitely helped many a gyms to flourish," she laughs. But why a fascination for a gym; one can workout even at home, rite? "It's just that I like the entire ritual of getting dressed in the gym gear, working out with others , watching my frame in all the mirrors and the best part, drinking the protein shakes at the gym café after finishing up," Ravee states as a matter of fact. Though this lanky actor doesn't work out much, she believes that it's very important for people in this industry to keep fit, as the job profile is really physical. "Most of us are on our toes 12-16 hours a day, so stamina building is critical. Besides you also need to look good for the camera, which is no mean task! But the fact that nowadays many gyms function 24/7, it has become more convenient for people like us to work out at any odd hour. And now post marriage, since my hubby's a die hard fitness fanatic, possibly both of us might make it a point to hit the gym regularly," is an after thought she gives. On this new resolution made my Ravee, we sign off hoping that this time around she does stick to her desired gymming ritual (though she hardly requires to undergo the grid)!
