Namita Nayyar, President Women Fitness talks to Katherine Castro about her spectacular journey into the acting world.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Your empowering journey from being a TV host and Actress to Producer has made you Hollywood’s next most lovable Latina. Walk us through your incredible journey so far. Introduce us to a day in your life.
Ms. Katherine Castro:
My day usually starts at 5:30am. I make my coffee with an Italian stove top espresso coffee pot and hit the gym. Later I go through my emails, both LA & DR emails, prep for any upcoming audition, and read some scripts. I constantly receive scripts to see If I am interested in being involved in a project. I work on my own projects too. SOMEDAY is in post-production and now I’m working on another project that addresses the subject of suicide, also inspired by true events. I also write, not scripts but concepts. Meditation is part of my daily life as well as stretching. When my mind is racing I pull out my mat, stretch, and finalize it with mediation. Another way to calm my mind and focus on the now is jumping on my trampoline. I recently started picking up my guitar again. I always keep myself busy and feed my creativity.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Tell us about your highly anticipated new romantic-drama SOMEDAY opposite Chris Santos (“The Girlfriend Experience”) helmed by J.S Mayank.
Ms. Katherine Castro:
SOMEDAY is a beautiful film, inspired by true events, but told in a different way. It’s about two strangers, Adam & Melody, that meet on a 14 hour flight from Sydney to Los Angeles. Adam is a world famous composer but Melody doesn’t recognize her flight companion seated next to her. Along the way, they pour their hearts out, forging a connection that is beautiful because of its simple fleeting nature. The beauty of SOMEDAY is that it’s a story that everyone can relate to. Everyone has experienced meeting someone unexpectedly and having an instant connection that feels so familiar, it’s like they’ve known each other or met before. It really is a precious film!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine?
Ms. Katherine Castro:
In the gym I like to do cardio. Whether the treadmill or the elliptical, I like to get my heart rate going and a good sweat. I also do Pilates with a private instructor to get a full body work out. I have a trampoline in my backyard on which I jump for about an hour a few times a week. I get to work on my flips. It’s also an intense cardio with low impact. In addition, it’s the most effective exercise to drain the lymphatic system, therefore detoxing your body. I also do yoga at home and stretch on a daily basis.
