In the glamorous world of Bollywood, people are obsessed with looking youthful and staying fit. Fitness for them isn’t just about well-being, but it’s their currency.  The requirement for fitness in Bollywood has shifted from professional an individual choice to a requirement. Actors these days are not just screen artists, but they are also influencers whose lifestyle, fitness choices, and wellness routines are followed religiously. One such actress whose fitness routine is creating a buzz these days is of Alaya F.

At the forefront of this new generation of wellness-oriented celebrities is Alaya F, who has emerged as the newest to enter the elite club of Bollywood fitness aficionados. However, rather than mere gym routines and fad diets, Alaya has gone on to devote herself to something much more rigorous — the world-renowned 75 Hard challenge.

Talking on the HSBC podcast On Realign Season 3, the 27-year-old actress revealed about her new emphasis on fitness and mental toughness. “I just recently restarted this thing called the 75 Hard,” she revealed. “It consists of two workouts a day — one indoors and one outdoors — each of at least 45 minutes.”

Designed by entrepreneur Andy Frisella, 75 Hard is a mental toughness program disguised as a fitness challenge. Over 75 continuous days, participants must follow a strict routine with no exceptions and no excuses. The rules are:

1.Complete two 45-minute workouts daily, one of which must be outdoors,

2.Drink 3.8 litres (1 gallon) of water every day,

3.Read 10 pages of a nonfiction/self-help book (audiobooks don’t count),

4. Follow a strict diet with no cheat meals whatsoever,

5. No drinking.

If you skip even one activity on one day — whether it’s missing a workout or reading only 9 pages — you have to begin again from Day 1.

For Alaya, that kind of discipline is what makes the challenge so strong. “Even if I fall asleep on the ninth page of reading, I wake up and start again from day one,” she explained. “That’s the kind of mindset it creates — total commitment.”

In addition to her physical regimen, Alaya also includes 10 minutes of meditation in her daily routine, overlaying a component of mental sharpness and composure onto her rigorous plan.

When asked where she was at in the journey currently, she laughed and said, “Day 4.” It’s a testament to her commitment — understanding that even the smallest mistakes mean starting over, but being motivated enough to continue.

Alaya F’s experience with 75 Hard is more than a health fad — it’s a testament to Bollywood’s changing attitude towards fitness. It’s not about looking good on camera anymore. It’s about turning up, being disciplined, and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone — body and mind.
