While everyone goes to the gym, Rafi lost weight playing football every alternate day. He says, "I stopped working out for three months and was playing football every other day, which made me lose 11 kgs. Football is a game which needs a lot of stamina and physical fitness. I also don't have a personal trainer. I wanted to lose the muscle fat that I had accumulated earlier."
Meanwhile, the actor's previous show as well as this one isn't too high on ratings. He says, "'Desh Ki'...started at a time when 'Bigg Boss' had gone on air, so it was difficult competing with it. 'Tere Sheher'...is a good show but again it started with the cricket matches on TV. I'm not under any pressure, people like my work, but fingers are crossed."
