I never had to try as a kid to stay in shape. In a way, there was no willpower involved.

The first time I joined the gym was during the Miss Sri Lanka pageant in 2006. Then, I went for the Miss Universe contest where I was exposed to girls who were very fit for their age. They could have joined the Olympics. They were doing crazy exercises.

I wasn't athletic as a kid, and I was self-conscious about my body, but then in eighth grade I won a school contest, and the prize was a bunch of personal training sessions.

I trained as a ballet dancer - well, I started when I was two and a half, and was serious about it from when I was eight until I was 18.

As a child, I was very active. I was a gymnast, I played touch football, netball and basketball. When I was 16 years old, I started yoga. I started working out at an early age.

I was a dancer until I was 19. I never had to worry about working out or what I ate. So I've really had to train myself to get down to the gym.

I modeled from the time I was 15 until I was 20.

I didn't start exercising until the end of my modeling career. When you're young, you eat and drink what you want and stay up all night and still look good.

I last went to a gym when I was a teenager to make sure I could lift ballerinas.

I started taking gymnastic classes when I was 3 years old.
