For ’90s kids, Raageshwari Loomba will always be remembered as the face of the decade’s pop music scene. Fit as a fiddle, and grooving to the beats of her popular track, Duniya, she etched in the minds of young teenagers an image of freedom that was aspirational. 

Loomba admits that at the time, the definition of fitness was set by “people with deeper pockets”. “It was all about nutrition and [heading to the] gym. Over 20 years ago, I was a typical platinum-selling MTV artiste. I’d head to the gym, do 500 crunches a day, and since I was a performer who danced, I had a nutritionist who would guide me on how I could retain my energy levels.”
