What does fitness mean to you?

I am a very health conscious guy. I was very upset that because of my fractured hand, I couldn't work out for around 2 months. I started with my cardio, the day my hand recovered. These days, every individual has lots of tensions and worries in their life and working out takes away all the worries and stress from one's life. I would request everybody to do it as it's very good for a good mind and soul. Good food and a healthy diet helps you to live longer and look good.

What efforts do you take to stay in shape?

I do cardio everyday and I am more into having green vegetables. I drink Green Tea every day. I drink Aloe Vera and Amla juice with Wheat powder everyday in the morning. After this, I start my day. These days I am doing cardio and avoiding certain kinds of exercises because I want my hand to recover well.    

Are you conscious about your food choices?

I am very much conscious about my food choices. I eat everything but I don't want to put on weight. I try to avoid having oily food. I prefer having homemade food over outside food. I am a good cook and I cook food in less oil and use Olive oil. I take care of having high fiber and I have lots of vegetables.

1.      Cardio.

A celeb body you admire?

I am very passionate about working out and going to the gym. I admire Hrithik Roshan's physique. He is very lean which gives him a young look. The more lean you will be the more young you will look.

Do you take protein supplements?

I take natural proteins. I eat boiled eggs, chicken and sometimes fish. Everybody should take natural proteins on a daily basis. I try to take natural protein which is always good.

Any sport you are skilled at?

I have played cricket and it's my favorite sport. If I wouldn't have been an actor then I would have been a cricketer. I am very passionate about playing cricket.
