Shalini Pandey is an actress, known for her roles in Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Arjun Reddy, and Maharaja. She just shared a stunning black and white photo on Instagram. In it, she lounged in a chair wearing a swimsuit. Pandey captioned the post, "There should have been a book instead of the phone." How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Shalini Pandey stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

Pandey shared her wellness secrets in an interview. She says that she's all about feeling confident with herself. "I have always been confident of my physique and I never really paid attention to what people were saying about it. I loved whichever phase I was in physically and never really put pressure on myself to be a certain body type."

In the same interview, Pandey says that she makes sure to eat healthy and workout. "I have mostly been a healthy eater almost all my life. I was always into sports and I started swimming since the 5th standard. I was into a lot of sports actually like badminton and volleyball and others. I was quite an outdoor kind of a kid. So yes, I have been a fitness freak since ever."

Pandey notably lost a lot of weight while working on the film Jayeshbhai Jordaar. She says that all the dancing helped her do so. "Luckily, I was doing a film which required immense amount of dance rehearsals that added to my weight loss," Pandey said in an interview. "So, there is nothing specific that I did to shed my weight but I feel the meal plan worked really well. I was dancing for around four hours daily and that's a lot of cardio which helped me a lot."

Pandey talked about her drive with acting in the same interview. "I'm an actor who invests a lot of energy and passion into every project that I pick. I want my performances to speak for itself and I would push myself into doing anything to deliver a performance that will hopefully be noticed and talked about. I have no issues with altering my body type if the script and my director wants me to look a certain way on screen."

After one of her films didn't perform well at the box office, Pandey told The Times of India that she learned a lot from it. "I realised that you don't have control over anything. You just need to do your work. We put in a lot of work, and like every other project, this was also very special to me. You just have to move on and keep doing good work."
