People used to laugh at me - Anuj Sachdeva

Model, actor and host, Anuj Sachdeva who is the host of the entertaining talk show, Get Access with Anuj shares his journey to the top and how walking on the less travelled path brought him to where he is now. 

With Teacher's Day around the corner, Anuj is trying to make contact with his martial arts teacher, Mr. R Subramaniam from N.C. Jindal Public School, New Delhi who's shaped him and set the course of his life.

The Swaragini actor shares, "I've given 8-9 years during my schooling to Martial Arts and I have a Black Belt that I'm proud of. People used to laugh at me at that point of time because there were really very few people who would do Taekwondo instead of opting for any other sports. Even my own friends would not support me to be a part of something like Martial Arts. I gave it all to Taekwondo because I managed to start my journey with the same and I got the Mr. Talent award."

One of the most sought after faces in the advertising world, Anuj shares, "I managed to get through the first preliminary round of Grasim, Mr. India Pageant in 2005 where the first round was basically to try breaking ice-slabs with the elbow and due to my training, I could manage to pull that task off."

Anuj believes that Taekwondo is the main reason behind his ever-fit body. 

"I have my teacher to thank for. Because of him, I've managed to maintain a healthy and fit life, I've been lean. In the initial years of growing up, if you manage to do a sport, your body type becomes a certain way and I've not put on much weight. I also got through YMCA with my teacher's support and was a gold medalist for three years," he added.

Anuj has clearly proven the people who laughed at him wrong. He has given some serious fitness goals.
