Gone are the days when all Bollywood actresses would have to do was shake a leg, cry and fall in love with the hero. These days, actresses portray strong characters and also train hard to look the part. Though today almost everyone is their fittest best or trying to get there, we take a look at 10 Bollywood hotties, who have cracked the code and inspire millions to follow their fit lifestyle. Take a look…

Anushka Sharma

We have always seen Anushka Sharma in sexy roles in her films such as Band Baaja Baarat, Jab tak hai jaan, PK, and many more. Not forgetting her recent movie NH10, where she looked sexily hot. But she wasn’t really like this sexy always, and the secret behind Virat falling for her is this. She takes good care about her gym routine.

Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut has always been on the slimmer side because of being an ectomorph which means she does not gain weight easily. But she certainly isn’t weak. The actress does her fair share of workout to stay healthy and in good shape. Her trainer Leena Mogre helped her shape her body depending on the roles she portrayed such as that of a model or a salsa dancer.

Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt made her presence felt in the industry right from her first film and is garnering rave reviews for performances in 2 States and Highway. Not only do her performances in her movies get her noticed, but also her gorgeous looks make many heads turn. But did you know that this quintessential cutie was once a chubby little girl? Alia trained, and trained hard to lose flab and step into her new and improved, fit avatar.

Deepika Padukone

Being a sports enthusiast and a former model kept Deepika in shape right from her early days. The actress is the right mix of sexy and strong and her svelte body makes it irresistible to take one’s eyes off her. Deepika credits it all to swimming, badminton, dancing and more recently to strength training and Pilates who she was introduced to by her trainer Yasmin Karachiwala.

Katrina Kaif

Touted as Asia’s sexiest woman four times in a row, Katrina Kaif is more popular for her dance moves and lithe body than her acting skills but the actress is surely one of the fittest. For her role in Dhoom 3, she learnt mixed martial arts, parkour, and other fighting techniques to match up to the actors. Kat isn’t a fussy eater but likes to keep it simple by eating healthy, nutritious meals and exercising regularly.

Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka sure has good genes which means she doesn’t have to try too hard to look trim but she does put in a lot of efforts whenever her role demands. Be it the suave jungle billi in Don series or her upcoming biopic on Mary Kom. Her trainer Samir Jaura is making sure she looks the part. The actress trains hard when required and almost always looks stunning and fit on and off screen.

Shilpa Shetty

Shilpa Shetty, the yummy mummy, is surely one of the fittest actresses in tinsel town. The actress is known for her trim figure and long legs which she proudly flaunts in snug dresses. Shilpa did put on weight during her pregnancy but lost all of it in a few months’ time with her dedication and help from her fitness trainer.

Bipasha Basu

Bipasha is clearly more than an actress, today, is also a fitness icon, who has several fitness DVDs to her credit. Once told by the doctors that she will have to undergo knee surgery as she has arthritis, Bipasha made it a point to lead a healthy life and make her body strong to bear the pain. She did not have to opt for surgery and instead became a fitness freak who never really has to go to a doctor.

Jacqueline Fernandez

This Sri Lankan beauty who was a former model can boast of having one of the fittest bodies in Bollywood. Being athletic, the actress did not have to struggle too much with weight issues but she did have her phase of following crash diets. But Jacqueline realized how bad these can be for one’s overall fitness and started practicing yoga and eating healthy.
