Barely a week away from her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, Bollywood's resident fashionista and red carpet regular Sonam K Ahuja is hard at work to attain that perfect look. Nutritionist and pilates trainer Radhika Karle, who has been working with her for the past eight years, reveals that the actor alters her workout regimen and diet a month before the gala.

"Red carpet outings involve high slit gowns and backless outfits, so we keep the leg work tough. There is as much emphasis on upper body workout because one needs to have a toned back to flaunt those dresses," reasons Karle, who has devised a mix of pilates and cardio for Kapoor. "We do combo trainer and some traditional mat pilates routines in the mornings. Her evenings are dedicated to weight training and cardio. She picked up spinning when she was in Los Angeles recently, and continues to do that as well."
