Earlier, she opened up about her weight loss journey and revealed that she begins her day with a cup of tea, apple cider vinegar, and turmeric water. She typically eats methi parathas, moong, or dosa for breakfast. Gill further mentioned that she watches portion sizes and makes sure her breakfast is rich in protein.

"I also want to become like Shilpa Shetty. You inspire a lot of people to get fit. I have watched your YouTube videos of yoga and all! I don't do it. I watch your videos and feel fit already. So that is how I get fit," Gill said in a candid chat with Shilpa Shetty.

“I eat the same things that I used to, but the portion size has been reduced. People wonder what we eat and think that they are so lucky and we don't have such benefits. So, I want to tell them that they can also do everything like us while staying at home. If you are not allowed to go outside, then walk around in the house. You can do anything you want," she added.
