Among the many close friends of Aishwarya Rai who were given a miss in the invitee list for her wedding was fitness trainer Deepika Mehta. Deepika has shared a close rapport with the actor over the past few months and was responsible for her svelte look in ‘Dhoom-2’ and ‘Umrao Jaan’. “I wasn’t invited for the wedding but a correspondent from the foreign media called me up to find out whether I was on the invitee list, since they had earlier done a story on Ash’s transformation in ‘Dhoom-2’,” Deepika recalls.
However, Deepika reveals, “Ash called up a couple of days before the wedding for personal help regarding her diet and exercise plan for the next few weeks.” Deepika, however, refuses to reveal the nature of the diet and whether it was meant to be an anti-stress one in order to cope with the pre-wedding stress.
Deepika, who in the past has also trained actors Bipasha Basu and Priyanka Chopra (‘Don’), is currently ensconced for the next four months in Amby Valley, where the shooting of the show ‘Biggest Loser Jeetega’ (to be aired next month on SaharaOne) shoot is in progress. Deepika was appointed as the fitness trainer for the show at the instance of host Suniel Shetty and the producers of the show, who felt that she would deliver the results. “Suniel and I had met earlier on the sets of ‘Umrao Jaan’. He is very passionate about fitness and the two of us bond big-time. The show is a very challenging one,” she reveals. Prior to this, Deepika hosted the fitness show ‘The Good Life’ (CNBC), which revolved around yoga and its benefits.
Deepika is confident that ‘Biggest Loser’ will initiate a huge wave of fitness in India, like the original show did in the US. “We are expecting 100 per cent success for the participants. The results will be full proof,” she smiles.
