Shilpa said that more than physical training, it was necessary to have a balanced diet for a person to live a healthy lifestyle.
“It’s so important for everyone to know that nutrition plays such an important part in maintaining good health. I feel that is something most people don’t understand. People think that it’s just about working out.

“For that, I have made a lifestyle modification and I prescribe the same to the others.
“I preach it because it has made a world of a difference to my life. I make sure that I don’t eat anything refined like sugar, flour or white rice and I have switched to healthy alternatives like brown bread and brown rice.
“I eat my last meal around 7 to 7.30 at night and then I don’t eat till my breakfast.”
Currently, Shilpa is judging Sony Television’s reality show titled ‘Super Dancer Chapter 3’.
