'Only water for nine days'

"I do fasting twice a year, no food at all, just water for nine days. It's very difficult. But once I'm done, I'm telling you, you look snatched. I mean, the jawline is out, the face is glowing. But I wouldn't recommend it," Nargis said.

Despite the dramatic physical transformation, the actress made it clear that her overall wellness philosophy isn't built on shortcuts. "Everybody wants a quick fix, but there’s no quick fix. It’s always a combination of things, and the combination for me seems to be great sleep. I sleep like eight hours a night. I also try to hydrate. Then also, my food choices.
