Mumbai, July 11 (TIWN) Pole dancing is not just about fitness for actress Kriti Kharbanda. It works as meditation for her, too.

"Today it has become a part of not just my fitness, but also my meditation. Pole dancing is not just a physical act but extremely meditative, because you have to concentrate 100 per cent or else you will fall and injure yourself badly," Kriti told IANS.  Kriti recently stunned netizens with a pole dancing video she shared on Instagram. What motivated her to take it up?  The "Housefull 4" actress replied: "When I signed Housefull, I needed to get into shape. The first pole dancing class that I went for, I thought my arm was going to fall off, my legs were bruised. But when I came home, I felt I had achieved something that I never thought would be possible. That feeling drove me back to the pole time and again."  While the actress says pole dancing is something which she purely does for herself, she wouldn't mind displaying her skills in a film if required.
