Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri has made a stunning revelation about her extreme fitness routine, sharing that she fasts for nine days straight, consuming only water - and she does this twice a year. Speaking with actress and fitness enthusiast Soha Ali Khan on Hauterrfly’s YouTube channel, Nargis opened up about her wellness approach, leaving the host visibly shocked.

‘Only water for nine days’

“I do fasting twice a year, no food at all, just water for nine days. It’s very difficult. But once I’m done, I’m telling you, you look snatched. I mean, the jawline is out, the face is glowing. But I wouldn’t recommend it,” Nargis said.

Here’s how Nargis stays fit

Despite the dramatic physical transformation, the actress made it clear that her overall wellness philosophy isn’t built on shortcuts. “Everybody wants a quick fix, but there’s no quick fix. It’s always a combination of things, and the combination for me seems to be great sleep. I sleep like eight hours a night. I also try to hydrate.  Then also, my food choices. Like, I want foods that are nutritious and have vitamins and minerals in it,” she explained.
