She has been credited with Aishwarya Rai's new look in DHOOM-2 and ever since the word has spread around, fitness trainer, Dipika Mehta, has been flooded with calls from actors in the industry, requesting her to bring about a similar transformation for them. Meet Dipika Mehta, Aishwarya's hi-profile trainer who brought about a dramatic change in her looks in a matter of few days for DHOOM-2. The unassuming Dipika has been in the business for ten years now and has trained several reckoned actresses, from Bipasha Basu to Priyanka Chopra, Yana Gupta and Vidya Balan. …

The idea was to make Ms. Rai look lean and delicately beautiful, which is why Dipika put her on a combination of dance routine and a daily session of yoga and meditation.

Instead I planned a dance-based workout for her coupled with a hi-nutrition and low calorie diet. I also used my research in yoga, ayurveda and naturopathy to achieve the desired result,' she reveals. Dipika was also impressed with Aishwarya's flexibility.
