TOI: Weight lands you in an uncle's role: Anas Rashid
Diya Aur Baati Hum is a fitness freak!
Anas who has a hectic shooting schedule manages to stay fit thanks to a strong will and believes health is life's greatest treasure. "I always tell people to pray for health. If you have health, then you have everything. Our industry too has become very health conscious. If you put on a few kilos, then you get to play the role of an older brother or an uncle or aunt. One person from every household joins the gym today! Although I have stopped going to the gym since the past one year because of my long working hours, I've maintained my physique. It's because I never use an escalator. I live on the 16th floor so I use the stairs. My will power is very strong and I'm conscious of my diet".
The actor also feels blessed about his athletic physique, "I'm very lucky that I don't have to put in too much effort to stay slim. Although I watch what I eat I'm hard core into Punjabi food. On sets I indulge in dishes like rajma chawal, dal makhni, chicken and chana masala. I'm fit and people always ask me if I'm an athlete or swimmer. I dare anyone to beat me in panja!"
But Anas also adds, "What's important is how confident you feel and how audiences connect with your character through the show. There are a few exceptions of actors who are healthy (like Naitik aka Karan Mehra from Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai) who are popular and adored by audiences".
