“Fitness isn’t just about appearance, it’s about feeling your best, inside and out,” says Bhagya Lakshmi’s Megha Prasad

Bhagya Lakshmi’s Megha Prasad, who brings the fiery and ambitious Malishka to life on-screen, is not only a powerhouse performer but also a passionate advocate for fitness. Off camera, Megha is deeply committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, viewing fitness not just as a profession-driven necessity but as an essential aspect of overall well-being. She credits her consistent workout regimen for keeping her mentally strong, physically fit, and performance-ready.

Despite her busy shoot schedule, Megha never skips her workouts. Whether it’s an early morning session or a late-evening routine after pack-up from Bhagya Lakshmi sets, she always makes time for fitness. She believes staying disciplined in fitness helps her stay productive and positive in all areas of life. For Megha, staying fit isn’t just important for actors, it’s essential for everyone, as it boosts overall health, confidence, and mental well-being.

Megha said, “Fitness is not just a part of my life because of my acting profession, it’s a personal commitment to being healthy and strong as a person. I take fitness very seriously, not for aesthetics but as a lifestyle choice. My journey with fitness began after experiencing criticism for being extremely slim and underweight. Transforming my body wasn’t just about looking a certain way or my onscreen presence, it was about feeling strong, confident, and in control of my own health. I also encourage everyone to prioritize fitness, and I often talk about it on my social media, making the right use of my platform.”

She added “Strength training, in particular, is crucial. While cardio has its benefits, building muscle is essential for long-term physical independence. Unfortunately, there’s a common misconception that strength training makes women look bulky, but that’s simply not true. It supports brain function, improves mental and emotional health. Fitness isn’t just about appearance, it’s about feeling your best, inside and out.”
Megha’s inspiring fitness journey is a testament to the fact that no matter how hectic life gets, prioritizing one’s health can be a game-changer.

While Megha focuses on strength and self-growth in real life, her on-screen alter ego Malishka is channelling that same intensity in far more dramatic ways. As Bhagya Lakshmi continues to unfold, will Malishka finally succeed in driving Lakshmi (Aishwarya Khare) out of Rishi’s (Rohit Suchanti) life, or does destiny have a different plan?
