Neha Dhupia turns to 'Indian nuskhas' for mindful, everyday wellness

Actress Neha Dhupia promotes mindful wellness through simple, traditional Indian 'nuskhas' and daily habits, not quick fixes.

"It's about reminding ourselves that health is built through small, consistent choices... - Neha Dhupia"

Mumbai, Jan 21

Actress Neha Dhupia says her wellness challenges are rooted in simplicity and sustainability, drawing from tried-and-tested methods rather than quick fixes.

Emphasising the importance of consistency over perfection, she shared that initiatives such as her anti-inflammation challenge are aimed at encouraging small, everyday habits that can be sustained in real life.

"The thought behind doing these challenges, be it the anti-inflammation challenge or now this one, the idea is to use my tried and tested methods and share simple wellness rituals. These natural wellness methods, or what we Indians call 'nuskhas', are never about perfection or quick fixes," Neha told IANS.

"It's about reminding ourselves that health is built through small, consistent choices that are sustainable in real life and taking on such a challenge wires us mentally and works towards better health."

She always believed that "wellness should feel approachable, not intimidating".

Neha also noted that simple practices such as mindful eating, daily movement, and supporting gut health can bring noticeable changes in how one feels.

"What really excites me is seeing how something as simple as eating mindfully, moving a little every day, or supporting gut health can make a tangible difference to how we feel."

Highlighting the role of digital platforms, Neha said the internet has become a space where people can discover natural wellness hacks and build a sense of community. She encouraged people to tune into their bodies and treat them with respect.

The actress concluded: "The Internet is a great place where we can find a sense of community and find such natural hacks. My recommendation is to listen to your body, respect it, and nourish it with intention, whether that's through movement, rest, or food rooted in traditional wisdom."

On the work front, she was recently seen in the series 'Single Papa' on Netflix. The show also stars Manoj Pahwa, Kunal Kemmu, Dayanand Shetty, Prajakta Koli, Neha Dhupia, and Ayesha Raza Mishra.

The series follows Gaurav Gehlot, a lovable man-child whose emotional age can best be described as "work in progress."

His sudden decision to adopt a baby right after his divorce leaves his family so shocked that they briefly consider rebooting him. What follows is unprecedented kalesh as the Gehlots scramble to understand how a man who still misplaces his socks plans to raise a whole human.

The show has been renewed for a second season.

Consistency over perfection is the key. We get so caught up in looking for the 'perfect' diet or workout, we forget that just walking daily and eating home-cooked food can do more good. Respect for bringing this message.

While I appreciate the sentiment, it's easy for someone with her resources to talk about simplicity. For the average Indian dealing with long commutes and work stress, finding time for 'mindful eating' is a luxury. The message is good but feels a bit disconnected from ground reality.

As someone living in India for 5 years now, I've learned so much from local wellness practices. The emphasis on gut health through fermented foods like dahi and pickles is something Western science is only now catching up on. Great article!

Gut health is everything! After following simple advice like having jeera water and including more fiber, my digestion has improved massively. No need for fancy probiotics. Our traditional wisdom is gold. 🙏

Love this. In a world of influencer-led detox teas and crazy diets, it's refreshing to hear about going back to basics. My daily 10-minute walk and swapping evening biscuits with mukhwas (fennel seeds) has made a subtle but real difference.
