Actor Suniel Shetty has taken a six-month break to host the show 'Biggest Loser Jeetega'. According to Suniel Shetty, he has taken the right decision to make a transition from film to television through this show.
Let's hear from him more about his decision and the show. Though I (Suniel) have been receiving offers by the dozens for quite some time to make my transition from film to television, no other show motivated me to take the plunge. With "Biggest loser Jeetega", I am taking my first step towards the small screen albeit as an anchor.
I'm doing this show because I'm passionate about health and fitness. The show will tell people what fitness is all about. If I wasn't a part of this show, I would be jealous because this is the only reality show I would ever want to be in.
Though I came in as an anchor to drive the show. I fell in love with all the sixteen candidates who have started calling me 'anna' (elder brother). We have an awesome bunch of candidates. All the time they are smiling and very cheerful. Though today not all the 16 may be known, after the show is over, all of them, whether they win the prize money or not, will end up as celebrities.
The show will teach everyone, whether it is the participant or the viewer how to overcome the problem of obesity and make life meaningful. We hope the format that has successfully attracted millions of viewers over multiple seasons in other countries will change television viewing in India too, creating a revolution in health and fitness.
The participants will be trained under the best in the fitness industry, like former physiotherapist of the Indian Cricket team Andrew Leipus, & Yusuf .I. Khan & Deepika, trainer to stars like Aishwarya Rai and Bipasha Basu. If we can motivate even 1% in our country to give attention to fitness, our purpose would be served. The show, let me reiterate, is not just about losing one's weight but developing an entirely different personality.
