Panaji, Dec 17: Model and item girl Yana Gupta, who
has been away from films for some time, is penning a book on
nutrition now.
"It`s a fitness and health book. I have been into
nutrition since I was 16. I am a fitness trainer and also an
acupuncture practitioner who treats people," Yana told a news agency in
an exclusive interview.
The girl who shot to fame with her item number `Babuji
Zara Dheere Chalo` in 2003 said her book would be ready by
middle of next year and Penguin Publications is publishing it.
"In this book, I will advise people to eat nutritious
food. I am not advocating any dieting, in fact, people should
eat five to six times a day in a smaller quantity under proper
guidance," Yana, who was here to promote her new-year eve show
`Goa Vibe 2006` along with Pooja Bedi, said.
Yana`s penchant for nutritious food led her to pen this
book whose name, she wants to keep under wraps at this moment.
"I began writing in February last year and later
approached penguin publications with whom I have entered into
an agreement," she stated.
Asked whether anyone is helping her to shape up this
book, Yana replies negatively. "I have been consulting doctors
before writing few things," she said.
The book largely talks of Indian food, besides food from
few other parts of globe. "Indian food means variety of Indian
food...It talks of different parts of the country," she
revealed.
Yana terms her brain-child as "Health Lifestyle Book,"
which will be printed in attractive colours with the help of
professional designers.
If this is not enough, the Babuji fame girl, has also
inked an agreement with Indiagames company to develop health
mobile downloads. "It will be called Yana`s fitness zone
wherein mobile users will be able to get access to fitness and
beauty tips at a click of a button," she explains.
The zone will also talk of her experiences during
shooting and travelling. "I have partnered with Indiagames
company for this zone. Later, it would be sold to the mobile
service providers," she said.
Though fully engrossed in her fitness adventures, Yana is
not away from acting, music and glamour. "I am going to do an
item number in the movie `Kaise Kahen`. Also I am planning an
international music album I want to go more into music now,"
she said refraining from further divulging details of her
musical venture.
