India, Feb. 21 -- F or actor Regena Cassandrra, who stars in Tamil and Telugu films, wellness isn't about rigid timetables or punishing routines.While she admits she can never truly stick to a schedule, staying active comes naturally to her. "I enjoy running early morning on the roads, though people advise me against it," she tells us. If there's one ritual she refuses to skip, however, it's food: specifically rice. "My everyday staple is always congee (savoury Asian rice porridge). Especially when I'm travelling because it helps with my gut," says Regena. Her love for South Indian comfort food runs deep. She adds, "You can live anywhere in the world, and if I give you a bowl of rasam rice, you will just be like, wow! And then if I give it to you with a piece of fish fry on the side, you're just gonna love me for the rest of your life. Indian food, especially South Indian food, is my go-to." When we caught up with her, Regena was shooting in Ooty and preparing to catch an evening flight. Her day began on a protein-heavy note. "In the morning, I had a five-egg white scramble and just chillies and salt. In the afternoon, I had congee with dry masala chicken. I was supposed to have dinner, but because I was to be on a flight by 8:30 PM, I really wouldn't get any hot meals," she shared. Instead of skipping dinner altogether, she opted for a local indulgence. "I got myself some freshly made puffs, which I can crave for as well, you know? Well-made puffs that melt in your mouth despite the 20-layer pastry. So, I had one puff, a slice of carrot cake, half a slice of tea cake, and I was done with dinner because that was more of an indulgence," she says. Despite the treats, there are no dramatic 'cheat days' in her lifestyle, and she swear by moderation as her mantra. "I just make sure I balance everything out. If I have a pizza, it's going to be my only meal of the day. I do not add on top of that and overdo it," she ends....
