When we think of Rakul Preet Singh, we often picture her radiant smile, glowing skin, and her poised presence both on and off-screen. But there’s a lot more going on behind that effortless beauty. Rakul isn’t just showing up looking good—she’s putting in the work, quietly and consistently, to take care of herself.
This Self Care Month, she gave us a beautiful reminder of why wellness is more than just a hashtag. She took to social media to talk about something deeply personal: her one-hour ritual on the mat every day. And no, it’s not just about fitness—it’s about peace, presence, and staying grounded in a chaotic world.
One Hour a Day, Just for Her
Rakul said it best herself: “That one hour on the mat each day isn’t just a workout, it’s my sanctuary.”
And honestly, who can’t relate to the need for some quiet in the middle of our non-stop lives? For Rakul, that daily hour of yoga is her way of tuning out the outside noise and tuning inward. It’s not about burning calories or building six-pack abs (although she’s doing that too)—it’s about feeling connected to herself.
“It started with yoga,” she says, “but it slowly expanded into something deeper. It taught me to pause, breathe, and really listen to my body.” That’s a powerful reminder for all of us constantly rushing from one thing to the next.
She shows up on the mat every day, no matter what. And that’s really what self-care is all about—being there for yourself, consistently, even on the tough days.
Self-Care Isn’t Glamorous—And That’s Okay
We often see self-care dressed up as spa days and green juices (not that there’s anything wrong with those!). But Rakul keeps it real: “Self-care isn’t always glamorous—it’s discipline with a touch of grace.”
Let’s be honest, some days self-care is waking up early to stretch even when you’d rather sleep in. Sometimes it’s choosing a nourishing meal when junk food is calling. Other times it’s listening to your body and letting it rest, even when your to-do list is screaming at you.
Rakul gets that. She says, “I eat clean, move with intent, and rest when my body asks for it. That balance of nourishment, movement, and stillness is what makes me glow.”
It’s not about doing things to impress anyone or to post on social media. It’s about how it makes her feel—powerful, peaceful, and alive. That’s the real glow-up.
More Than Just Fitness—It’s a Whole Lifestyle
What makes Rakul’s approach refreshing is how holistic and grounded it is. Her wellness routine isn’t a trend; it’s a lifestyle. She doesn’t believe in quick fixes. Instead, it’s about showing up for herself in small ways, every day.
Her message is simple but profound: “Fitness isn’t just about the body—it’s how I clear my mind, channel my focus, and realign with my purpose.”
She’s not just doing yoga. She’s practicing presence. She’s not just eating clean—she’s choosing food that nourishes her from the inside out. That mindfulness? It shows. Whether she’s on set or just sharing a post from her day, there’s a sense of calm and clarity that stands out.
Why It Matters Right Now
In a world where everything feels rushed and filtered, Rakul’s message lands like a breath of fresh air. She reminds us that wellness doesn’t need to be loud. It can be quiet. It can be intentional. And above all, it can be just for you.
Her words feel like a pep talk we didn’t know we needed: “Self-care, to me, is showing up on tough days, on good days, and every day in between with love, presence, and strength.”
Rakul isn’t just inspiring us to do more yoga—she’s inspiring us to be more present in our own lives. Whether that’s with a five-minute meditation, a walk in nature, or simply sipping tea without checking your phone—it all counts.
