Making An Excuse To Workout Today? Shwetha Tripathi Sharma Has A Fix For You

In a candid episode of The Rule Breaker Show, actor Shweta Tripathi Sharma joined host Shaili Chopra and spoke openly about her fitness journey and shared her honest thoughts on motherhood.

Shweta shared that for her, physical strength is closely tied to mental strength, emphasizing how the two go hand in hand, "For me when you are physically strong, you are mentally strong too. So it goes hand in hand. That is very important to me." She continued by explaining how hitting the gym helps her feel empowered, "That’s why I go to the gym because when you complete that set, you feel like you can do it. It's very important to show up. And just keep showing up for yourself."

'When You Are Physically Strong, You Are Mentally Strong Too'

Shweta's honesty about her fitness journey resonated as she revealed that it’s not always easy to stay motivated. She admitted that there are days when the temptation to skip a workout creeps in. "Before going to the gym, if it rains a lot, I feel, how will I go to the gym today? Or if there is traffic today, should I cancel it? So it’s not like I still spring and go to the gym. There are still excuses. But then you have to tell yourself that okay, okay, okay, let’s go."

Ultimately, it’s the act of showing up that matters most for Shweta. "Every time I go to the gym, showing up, that’s one of the most important things for others. But more importantly, for yourself. Once I reach the gym, I’m always thanking myself, saying thank God I did this. I think more than half the job is done."

'The Choice Should Be Yours'

The actor also opened up about her thoughts on motherhood, sharing a balanced and thoughtful perspective on the subject. While many around her might express hopes for her to embrace parenthood, Shweta believes that the decision to become a mother should be deeply personal and entirely up to the woman herself.

Shweta said, "The choice should be yours, ki aapko karna hai ki nahi karna hai... yes, everybody would want a baby, a child in the family, everybody would want to be grandparents or fathers and mothers, but what do you want? I think that decision should be the girl's sabse zyada."

When asked if she has considered motherhood, she said, " I think once you become a mother, you get some superhuman powers. I have a lot of respect because of unconditional love, just giving up on a lot of dreams... there is somebody who is totally dependent on you, and I think you need a very big heart and a lot of empathy, a lot of knowledge."

As for her own life, Shweta shared that she and her husband have chosen not to have children at the moment. However, this choice only strengthens her resolve to pursue her own dreams and contribute to something greater. She also expressed a sense of responsibility to represent those who may not have the same choices, adding, "I feel an even greater responsibility that if I don't have a child, then I should work even harder, not just for myself, but for all those who may not have the opportunity to pursue their own dreams."
