Indian actress Niyati Fatnani is having fun with pal Sumona Chakravarti in a new social media video. Fatnani, 33, shared a video of herself and Chakravarti, 36, wearing workout clothes while dancing to Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter. Chakravarti stays in the background until the end of the clip. “Hope we are not too late for this🫣 Don’t miss the ending though🤭,” Fatnani captioned the fun post. Here’s how the star stays fit, happy, and focused.
Fatnani practices yoga and has family meditation sessions. “Since I was in school, I have been into yoga,” she told Times of India. “I was also into dancing, so stretching was another important thing I used to focus on. But over the years I have learnt a lot more about Yoga and I feel that it is not just about asanas but also about pranayam and meditation. In the last five years, I have deep-dived into meditation. My mother is also someone who practices it so I have a company. It has become a ritual in our house that for half an hour in the evening, we all sit together and meditate.”

Fatnani keeps an open mind about the roles offered to her. “I always like to concentrate on what I bring to the table as an artist,” she told Hindustan Times. “What I can add to those characters – whether they are a lead or a parallel lead that is secondary for me. At times, a rightfully done role or even a small scene clicks with the viewers so that’s where I put in all my efforts. If you have that spark in you, sooner or later your work will be recognised. I have seen people’s careers taking a 360-degree turn in a jiffy.”
Fatnani is now a seasoned yogi. “Early in my days when I started doing yoga, practicing Chakrasana and Naukasan was difficult for me,” she told Times of India. “Now over the years with practice, I have got better at it but still, there are times when back-bending asanas are difficult and important. Backward-bending asanas are to improve your confidence in life and forward-bending asanas are to improve your surrender.”
Fatnani wanted to act since she was a little girl. “When I was a child, I saw a dance number on TV, which instantly made me say I wanted to become an actor,” she told Hindustan Times. “I guess that’s when the acting bug bit me; at an age when I had no clue whether I would be able to fulfill my dream. I think I prayed too hard to accomplish my dream and here I am today living various characters and their journeys.”
Fatnani tries to keep her private life private, as a public figure. “Though I am a public figure, I am a very private person,” she told Hindustan Times. “I am an introvert and don’t like talking about my personal life in public. You won’t see me strike a conversation with a stranger. That’s just not me. I take my time to befriend people but when I do, I stand by them like a rock.”
