Mohit Raina who plays the title role in Nikhil Sinha's Devon Mein Dev Mahadev is quite a fitness freak in real life.
On asking what fitness means to him he says, "For me fitness is not only having a good physique but it is the overall lifestyle which I follow in my life. It's not just about having a perfect body. I also believe in positive mental attitude. A person should have positive attitude in his life and it will thus reflect on a healthy lifestyle. Also fitness means a lot of mental strength for me because it's the mind who takes all the decisions."
The actor also meditates in the morning when he gets time. "I believe in eating the right kind of food at the right time. Many people think that dieting is starving yourself. But that is never a right way to control your diet. Starvation ruins certain systems in our body. In breakfast I eat scrambled eggs with brown bread and baked beans. For lunch I eat homemade food like brown rice, chicken and daal. And for dinner I eat early and thus prefer salads and soups. I just love rajma-chawal. I miss eating that often in my life. What you eat is important and what is eating you is equally important," he adds.
