Speaking of yoga, Shilpa stated earlier to us, "You know what Yoga does to you is it gives you that confidence to achieve something which is on heights. It harnesses the energy and Yoga are also about giving you will-power and if you have will-power and control on your mind, it will make you reach to a higher target."

She added, "You are so calmer in your mind and your breathing pattern is also improved. Yoga is a science and still, people don't understand it. Just losing weight is not enough, maintaining weight is a discipline. Yoga is that discipline. I really suggest that anyone who is wanting to maintain weight in the long term should definitely get into Yoga."
