One would think juggling myriad roles on a day-to-day basis would be pretty challenging. Well, at least artist and fitness expert Nawaz Modi Singhania doesn’t make it seem so.
Not even when she’s expecting her second child. Nawaz, in fact, sounds relaxed and contented. Whether it’s being a mom, a wife or a working woman — industrialist Gautam Singhania’s wife can don several caps on an average day. And she credits it all to her systematic planning ways.
“I’m not a last minute person. I’m very organised with my time and I always plan a lot in advance. When I’m working, I like to keep things in order,” she says, citing that this only allows her to divide her time between family and work better.
Nawaz usually doesn’t take an off day. But what about that much-needed Sunday break? “I don’t have a particular off day as such. My Sundays are usually varied. Sometimes I’m in town, sometime we go to Alibag. But yes, I do have certain things fixed on Sundays — lunch with my husband and daughter; and dinner with my father,” she reveals, adding that even though she personally doesn’t cook, she prefers to eat at home with her family rather than going out.
Having been clued into fitness for the past 20 years now, Nawaz also knows a thing or two about keeping fit. Her fitness centre offers gym training, a Pilates hub, workshop classes and personal training and she personally believes in working out even on her day off. That’s however not her only passion. Nawaz continues her affair with art too. She’s had several art exhibitions and admits she takes up the brush every now and then.
“I’m very much clued into art and have had so many painting exhibitions. If I feel like it, I’d pick up a brush and paint on Sundays. You see, my work has a bit of Sunday in it,” she smiles. Ask her about her impending mommyhood and she says, “It’s a very special time in a woman’s life. So I’m just enjoying it!”
