"Walking works" Dishank Arora

Do you follow any fitness regime?
No, to be honest I don't have a regular gym schedule. But I see to it that I maintain my health by eating right.

How many days do you spend in a week for workout?
Probably one or two (laughs).

Apart from this have you taken up any sport or habit that helps you maintain body?
Nope, not yet.

According to you, how important is it to follow a fitness regime?
It is very important to be fit actually. So if you see you are not, you should take proper steps for that.

Do you at all make excuses to go to gym?
I have only one excuse- my hectic schedule.

What's your usual diet?
My diet consists of purely vegetarian food, I don't even eat eggs. So my typical breakfast would be cornflakes and lunch and would be roti, sabzi and some or the other kind of dal.

Do you look upon calories when it comes to eating?
No, I don't. But when it comes to sweets I let go. But I make sure the binging does not go for more than three days.

Do you equate fitness with the shape of the body?
I'd say it's a fifty-fifty thing.

How were you in your teen years and now?
I think I've lost a bit of weight. Because when people meet me, they say after coming to Mumbai I've become thinner.

Suggest some fun ways for working out.
I think walking is good. Yes, walking works.

Who has an impressive body in industry right now?
Shahid Kapoor and Salman Khan from Bollywood and Gaurav Khanna from television.

Anyone that you idolize when it comes to good physique?
No one.
