Rakul Preet Singh has consistently inspired audiences with her commitment to fitness and mindful living, often highlighting the importance of mental well-being alongside physical health. As Self-Care Month unfolds, the actor shares a refreshing perspective on nurturing oneself, reminding her followers that it extends beyond pampering and aesthetics.
Speaking to Filmfare, Rakul explained that for her, self-care is rooted in discipline. “It isn’t always glamorous. It’s discipline. Yoga was the starting point, but over time, it turned into something more profound. It helped me pause, breathe, and tune into what my body needed. The hour I spend on the yoga mat each day isn’t just exercise; it’s a sacred space where I can disconnect from the noise and reconnect with myself.”
She further shared that health for her encompasses emotional clarity and mental calm, not just physical activity. “I focus on eating clean, moving with purpose, and resting when necessary. That harmony of nourishment, movement, and quiet moments keeps me radiant. I don’t do it for appearances or social media but because it makes me feel strong, calm, and truly alive. Self-care is about being present for yourself on both easy and challenging days, showing up with love and resilience.”
Shifting the Narrative Around Self-Care
To mark Self-Care Month, Rakul posted a serene image of herself practicing aerial yoga on Instagram, paired with a reflective caption: “We often hear the words self-love or self-care, but what do they really mean? It isn’t always about luxury; it’s about discipline mixed with grace. For me, it’s the alignment of mind, body, and soul—a space where the external chaos fades, allowing me to look inward. It’s about standing by yourself through the highs and lows, every single day, with strength and presence.”
Her perspective is a reminder that self-care is about consistent commitment to oneself, irrespective of external circumstances.
With her dedication to yoga and strength training, Rakul has become a symbol of balanced living. Her glowing skin and positive energy reflect the benefits of a mindful lifestyle, motivating her fans to prioritise holistic well-being.
On the professional front, Rakul will portray Surpanakha in Nitesh Tiwari’s much-awaited Ramayana, slated for a two-part release during Diwali 2026 and 2027, alongside Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana.
