Exercises
The 'Inside Edge' actor keeps her workout routine creative
When it comes to fitness, Chadha is an eager soul who wants to learn new exercises and overcome all challenges.
"I love learning new things and breaking old habits of fear. Learning that consistency is the key, there have to be small breakthroughs every day," reads one of her Instagram post captions.
Her latest fitness exploration has been with electrical muscle stimulation (EMS).
Songs to the rescue

Her playlist is full of Beyonce and nostalgia mixes like Tip Tip Barsa Pani. It also comprises some Coke Studio gems.
The actor also revealed that she has Tamil, Punjabi, Bhojpuri, Rajasthani folk, Arabic, Spanish, and French songs in her fitness playlist.
Diet
Chadha, a picky vegetarian, is very particular about her diet
The Gangs of Wasseypur actor is very particular about what and where she eats.
She regards food as equivalent to fuel for the body and keeps her gut health at the top always.
The actor is a firm believer in the fact that one should find a diet that suits their body the best instead of falling for the trends.
Meals
'Rajma chawal' is Chadha's favorite cheat meal
