Megha Prasad, best known for playing the fierce and fearless Malishka in Zee TV’s Bhagya Lakshmi, is not just turning heads on-screen – she is also inspiring many with her off-screen fitness journey. A true wellness enthusiast, the actress sees fitness as more than just a professional requirement. For her, it’s a way of life – one that fuels both mental clarity and physical strength.
Recently, Megha Prasad shared how fitness is not only about looking good but about feeling your best from the inside out.
In a conversation with Filmibeat, Megha said, “Fitness is not just a part of my life because of my acting profession; it’s a personal commitment to being healthy and strong as a person. I take fitness very seriously, not for aesthetics but as a lifestyle choice.”
The actress also opened up about her physical transformation, sharing that her fitness journey began after facing criticism for being underweight.
“My journey with fitness began after experiencing criticism for being extremely slim and underweight. Transforming my body wasn’t just about looking a certain way or my onscreen presence, it was about feeling strong, confident, and in control of my own health. I also encourage everyone to prioritize fitness, and I often talk about it on my social media, making the right use of my platform,” Megha added.
Furthermore, Megha Prasad busted common myths around strength training, emphasizing that it does not make women look bulky. Instead, she highlighted how it actually supports brain function and significantly improves both mental and emotional health.
“Strength training, in particular, is crucial. While cardio has its benefits, building muscle is essential for long-term physical independence. Unfortunately, there’s a common misconception that strength training makes women look bulky, but that’s simply not true. It supports brain function, improves mental and emotional health. Fitness isn’t just about appearance, it’s about feeling your best, inside and out,” the actress concluded.
