For Priyanka Chopra, who now divides her time between two continents, her \u2018hectic\u2019 life has become her gym, during which she follows her customized exercise regime, \u201cPC\u2019s On the Job Workout.\u201d \u2013 @siliconeer #siliconeer #Bollywood #PriyankaChopra #PC #Quantico #ABC #BajiraoMastani #GorgeousEatWellLookGreat<\/p>\n
The actress has let out her food and fitness secrets in a new book titled, \u201cGorgeous: Eat Well, Look Great\u201d compiled by former model and Miss India International Shvetha Jaishankar.<\/p>\n
The book features inventive ideas and recipes from the kitchens of India\u2019s top models like Chopra, Malaika Arora Khan, Milind Soman, Gul Panag and Madhu Sapre among others.<\/p>\n
\u201cI work eighteen-hour days with little or no time off. I\u2019m never sedentary in those hours – running between set and my make-up trailer, going from one event to the next…it kind of makes up for the lack of exercising that I do! My life is my gym and my playground,\u201d says Chopra in the book.<\/p>\n
She credits the \u201camazing metabolism\u201d that she was born with for her fitness, and says that coupled with her work routine, it works wonders for her, allowing her to gorge on anything that she might want to eat.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am blessed with an amazing metabolism. That coupled with my hectic work schedule allows me to pretty much eat what I want.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t ever have to think about what I\u2019m eating or count the calories, (except when I am training for a specific look), so I eat what makes me happy,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
The former Miss India World, who began her Hollywood career with the American television series \u201cQuantico\u201d and is starring in the upcoming film \u201cBaywatch,\u201d was recently appointed as the UNICEF Global Goodwill Ambassador.<\/p>\n
Chopra likes to have an eclectic mix on her plate with her favorites ranging from tuna tartar and rajma chawal to pizza!<\/p>\n
The actress is also an expert at concocting her own recipes to satiate her tastebuds.<\/p>\n
In the book, she talks about one such enduring food memory, when on a promotional trip to LA, she made one of her greatest food discoveries – Caviar and potato chips.<\/p>\n
\u201cA match made in heaven and a Priyanka Chopra creation,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
Her latest recipe is the \u2018Refrigerator Scrambled Eggs!\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cThis can even be made by kitchen challenged individuals.<\/p>\n
All you need to do is open your refrigerator and pull out eggs, cheese, a dash of milk and every type of meat you can find,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
Having grown up as a tall and lanky child, she \u201calways wanted a wholesome body,\u201d which she says she \u201ceventually grew into having one.\u201d<\/p>\n
For the 34-year-old actress who wears multiple hats of a singer as well as a producer, being gorgeous means being the best of version of oneself.<\/p>\n
She says she is active and takes care of her face, skin, body and brain.<\/p>\n
Rest, she\u2019s left to \u201cGod and the laws of gravity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
