‘86-year-old Helen once walked with a stick, now works out 6 days a week,’ says Yasmin Karachiwala as she reveals the fitness secret behind Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif’s iconic looks | Bollywood News

Bollywood actors have to work out regularly to stay in shape and bring their best to the big screen, but for many, fitness has now become a way of life. In a recent interaction, celebrity fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala — who has trained stars like Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, and others — spoke about the inspiring fitness routine of 86-year-old veteran star Helen.
Speaking to Masoom Minawala on her YouTube channel, Yasmin shared how Helen used to walk with a stick before she began her regular workouts. She said, “90% of the people don’t do strength. As you grow older, you have to do strength training because we will lose bone density every decade and you need your muscles to protect your bones. So my oldest client is Helen Khan and she is 86. She works out every day, 6 days a week, and she loves it.”
Revealing Helen’s workout routine, Yasmin added, “She does pilates and a little bit of strength and some battle rope. She came into my studio walking with a stick and she is without a stick now. She doesn’t know where the stick is. She tells me, ‘I don’t know where this stick is. It is in some corner of my house. I have not seen it for a very long time.’”

Yasmin also admitted that celebrities tend to be far more consent and disciplined with their workouts than the general public, which is why they manage to stay in such great shape on screen. She also shared the secret behind why actors like Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif always look exceptionally fit.
“You become a celebrity or a star because of the hard work, you put in long hours of shoot, makeup, and all that, and when their bodies look like that it’s long hours in the gym. They are more dedicated and disciplined and consent compared to anybody else when they are working out. So when they are disciplined 12 months a year and when they are playing roles like Katrina in Sheila Ki Jawani and Deepika in Pathaan, you can tweak up their fitness levels and workouts to make them look the way they want. All the celebrities are very consent,” Yasmin explained.
