She's one of the Indian fashion industry's best-known faces and she has a bod to die for.

Her debut movie Fashion was a major box-office success and she's now regarded as one of Bollywood's newest acting talents.

Here, in an interview with rediff.com, the lovely Mugdha Godse shares her fitness regimen and beauty secrets with readers.

'Putting on weight is easy, but losing it is a nightmare'

"I have been working out since the age of 17,"Mugdha starts off. "Since I was employed at a gym, I know the basic nuances of exercise and dieting. Dieting and working out have become my lifestyle. Of course, there are days when I binge, eating pastries and other treats as I am sure nobody can live without them. But I make sure that I am always aware of what I'm consuming. Putting on weight is very easy, but losing it is very difficult -- a real nightmare!"

"I don't follow a particular diet chart. I make sure I have low carbs with high proteins and a high fibre diet. When I have options, I prefer salad, brown bread and generally less fatty foods," continues Mugdha.

"I can't follow a routine -- 'get up every morning and have eggs' is not my thing. I like to eat a South Indian breakfast, poha and eggs on different days. I get very easily bored in life. I have a lot of protein shakes and protein bars, which keeps me full when I feel like snacking on junk food."

So what fitness regimen does Mugdha follow?

"I do 40 minute work-outs four times a week," she explains. "I work on different body parts. I enjoy weight training a lot, as it is the easiest and quickest. Depending on your body type, you can do athletic cardio or anything else, but as you get used to a particular type of regime, it stops giving results. Then you need to switch to something else. I dance, learning Kathak, which gives me a good cardio work-out. I do yoga too, which gives me mental peace."
