diet: I’M a complete foodie; I eat absolutely everything. I start my day with a glass of Horlicks—a childhood habit. Along with it, I have four almonds and a glass of juice. I have an early lunch of rice, rotis, sabzi, chicken or fish and lots of yellow dal. I snack on anything I can lay my hands on and if I’m feeling particularly grubby, Maggi noodles. Dinner’s usually out. My favourite item on a menu is soup—I love all kinds of soups. Since you’ve had more than just a brush with modelling, do you consider yourself a model or a singer? I’m always a performer—but singer first. Modelling is something I do to keep myself busy. exercise: I EXERCISE for more than an hour every day. The only day I take a breather is on Sunday. My routine includes cardio, crunches and ankle weights. problem areas: I HAVE a very high metabolism rate and am a thin body type, which is a blessing. But when I do put on weight, like most Indian women, it first shows on my hips. As told to Swati Anand
