Actress Shama Sikander has opted for a fun way to stay fit.

She has taken to pole dancing during her vacation in Dubai. She gave a glimpse of it on Instagram where she posted a video of herself doing pole dance.

While some fans found it "hot", others called it awesome.

"I am a big fan of dancing and fitness. Anything that combines these two, has to be a tick on my list. Pole dancing was on my mind for sometime and I needed a good coach and team to learn it from," she said.

"Dubai has got some amazing coaches and I couldn't let go of that opportunity. I am a beginner, but I am willing to do it like a pro. It's beautiful," she added.

She feels the mind needs to be one with the body to make it happen and when one is performing on the pole, it's like uniting with the inner self.

"It's a lot like meditation," she said.
