Divyanka Tripathi's drastic weight loss decoded: What the TV star eats and how she stays fit at shooting locations

Divyanka Tripathi, one of television’s most loved faces, has charmed audiences for years with her roles in Yeh Hai Mohabbatein and other works. But beyond the screen, the actress has also inspired fans with her remarkable fitness transformation. Her weight loss journey was not just about shedding kilos but embracing a holistic approach to health, food, and exercise that keeps her going even during hectic shoot schedules.

Her diet for weight loss

In an interview with Pinkvilla, she revealed that her fitness journey begins with a mindful diet. She starts her day with green juice, followed by a late breakfast of fruits or oil-free pancakes. Lunch usually consists of home-packed meals with simple, healthy wraps filled with paneer and vegetables. For snacks, she prefers oil-free cutlets, sugar-free soups, or small portions of cheese. Dinner is kept light and early, usually before 7:30 pm, with an emphasis on avoiding rice, sugar, and excess carbs that slow her metabolism. She allows herself one cheat meal a week, but even that is carefully planned to keep her from feeling deprived.

What does her workout look like while busy shooting?

On busy days, she makes sure her body stays active with stretches and light workouts on set. Divyanka always carries yoga bands, a yoga mat, and even her own tiffin, ensuring her fitness routine doesn’t get derailed by erratic shooting hours. Yoga has become a cornerstone of her routine, helping her stay flexible and refreshed while shooting action-heavy sequences.

She adapts her fitness regime to her roles too—taking ballet lessons once to improve her posture and stage presence for a character in an action-packed series, Adrishyam.

Divyanka Tripathi's Independence Day was about fitness and food

Actress Divyanka Tripathi chose to celebrate Independence Day in a way that perfectly blended fitness, patriotism, and indulgence. The Yeh Hai Mohabbatein star began her day with a yoga session, then joined in the festivities with flag hoisting, cheering on security women during their parade, and finally treating herself to the classic Independence Day combo—samosa and jalebi.
