"Mental fitness is very important. In 2006, I got introduced to meditation. I began with chanting. Initially, it wasn't easy. I usually used to take a break from chanting. Then again I started doing meditation and chanting. It changed my life."

It helped her in facing up to tough phases in her life. "Meditation helped me in coming out from a bad situation. If I get a chance to open a meditation centre, I will do it because meditation is a life-changer. It needs proper guidance though," said Simran.
