Krishna
Shroff
has
built
her
reputation
as
one
of
India’s
foremost
fitness
icons
and
a
driving
force
behind
the
country’s
MMA
movement.
But
beyond
her
role
as
a
fitness
entrepreneur,
fashion
maven
and
a
reality
TV
star,
lies
a
woman
full
of
contradictions,
dreams,
and
unwavering
discipline.
As
she
celebrates
turning
another
year
older,
she
spills
some
unknown
facts
about
herself
that
rarely
make
headlines.
And
everything
from
guilty
pleasures
to
alternate
career
fantasies
and
the
principles
that
guide
her
every
day,
are
covered
here!
1.
Her
Guilty
Pleasure
Will
Surprise
You
Everyone
knows
Krishna
for
her
disciplined
lifestyle
and
dedication
to
fitness,
but
even
she
has
her
weak
spots.
When
asked
about
that
one
indulgence
that
makes
her
feel
like
a
regular
person,
she
reveals
candidly,
“I
could
eat
Nutella
straight
out
of
the
jar
and
finish
the
entire
thing
in
one
sitting.”
It’s
refreshing
to
know
that
even
the
most
disciplined
fitness
icon
amongst
us
has
her
kryptonite,
and
it
happens
to
be
a
yummy
chocolate
hazelnut
spread.
2.
The
Career
Path
No
One
Saw
Coming
If
fitness
and
MMA
had
never
entered
Krishna’s
life,
where
would
she
be
today?
Her
answer
reveals
a
completely
different
side
to
her
personality.
“I
would
train
myself
to
become
a
travel
and
food
vlogger,
even
though
I’m
terrible
at
picking
up
the
camera
myself
and
documenting
things
because
that
would
involve
two
of
my
absolute
favorite
things
in
the
entire
world,
travel
and
food!”
It’s
a
delightful
glimpse
into
what
drives
her
beyond
the
gym
–
exploration,
culture,
and
yes,
more
food.
3.
Why
She’s
Never
Considered
Giving
Up
While
many
assume
Krishna’s
fitness
journey
has
been
smooth
sailing,
she
admits
there
have
been
challenging
moments.
“There
are
multiple
times
I
maybe
feel
like
I
need
a
break
from
it
and
need
to
take
some
time
off,
but
I’ve
never
felt
like
entirely
giving
up
on
it
because
it’s
what
shaped
me
into
the
person
I
am
today
and
given
me
a
strong
identity,”
she
shares.
What
keeps
her
going?
The
impact.
“It’s
the
one
thing
that’s
helped
me
reach
out
to
numerous
people
across
the
world
and
made
a
difference
in
not
just
my
own
life,
but
someone
else’s
too.
It’s
the
most
gratifying
thing
I
have
and
what
a
privilege
it
is.”
It’s
this
sense
of
purpose
that
has
sustained
her
through
every
doubt.

Building
the
Ecosystem
Over
Personal
Glory
Krishna
has
been
instrumental
in
bringing
MMA
to
India,
yet
she’s
never
stepped
into
the
ring
herself.
Was
this
a
conscious
decision?
“It
takes
a
very
special
individual
to
actually
get
in
there
and
do
what
these
guys
and
girls
do
as
well
as
a
lifetime
of
discipline
and
hard
work…
It’s
definitely
been
tempting,
but
I
think
I’m
maybe
two
decades
too
late
to
consider
it
now,”
she
cheekily
adds.
Rather
than
seeking
the
spotlight
herself,
Krishna
finds
fulfillment
in
creating
opportunities
for
others.
“I
enjoy
the
sport
so
much
and
have
the
utmost
respect
for
the
athletes,
so
to
be
able
to
create
something
for
them
in
order
to
shine
is
a
feeling
of
great
achievement
for
me.”
5.
The
One
Rule
She
Lives
By
When
it
comes
to
fitness,
business,
and
life,
Krishna
follows
one
principle
religiously.
“Motivation
isn’t
important
without
discipline.
Motivation
comes
and
goes,
but
discipline
stays.
Discipline
is
what
pushes
me
to
do
the
things
I
don’t
necessary
feel
like
doing
that
will
better
me
as
a
person
both
in
my
personal
and
professional
lives.
Discipline
is
key.”
It’s
this
unwavering
commitment
to
showing
up,
even
when
the
initial
excitement
fades,
that
has
made
Krishna
the
force
she
is
today,
both
in
the
gym
and
in
the
boardroom.
As
Krishna
Shroff
celebrates
another
trip
around
the
sun,
it’s
clear
that
her
success
isn’t
just
about
genetics
or
privilege.
It’s
about
choices,
discipline,
and
a
genuine
desire
to
create
impact.
From
her
unexpected
love
for
Nutella
to
her
dreams
of
exploring
the
world
through
food,
from
her
respect
for
MMA
athletes
to
her
unwavering
belief
in
discipline
over
motivation,
Krishna
embodies
refreshing
authenticity.
She’s
built
an
empire
not
by
seeking
the
spotlight,
but
by
empowering
others
to
shine.
Happy
Birthday
Krishna.
Here’s
to
another
365
days
of
more
travel,
adventure,
more
Nutella
jars,
and
more
opportunities
to
inspire.
