You're my everything, Mummy: Ruslaan Mumtaz
Growing up with an actor parent can be quite an interesting experience and on this Mother's day, Momma's Boy Ruslaan Mumtaz, fresh off from Dangerous Ishq, opens up about his love for mommy dearest, Anjana Mumtaz
I grew up in a hostel in Panchgani, so there wasn't an overpowering influence of my mother's acting career, but when she did come visit me, which was as often as she could, I suddenly realised what a big deal being an actor was. The whole school would be running behind her for her autograph and that made me swell up with pride," opens Ruslaan Mumtaz as we catch up with him on the eve of Mother's Day.
Ruslaan Mumtaz has a lot to be thankful for, near-perfect good looks, a budding career in Bollywood, several fans across the country, including our city of Bangalore and a family that's stayed together and continues to be adorably happy.
"As a child, my first memories of mummy as an actress were these scenes I vividly remember from Khatron Ke Khiladi, where ma was the heroine opposite Dharmendra " those scenes still play in my mind, whenever I think of her as an actress. But she never let it get to me. I was never the quintessential star-kid," Ruslaan reminisces.
We prod further and ask Ruslaan to describe how his childhood was. "I was spoilt, I agree. Thoroughly spoilt, and I always fought with my mom. Imagine how horrible I was. I was a non-veg lover and refused to eat anything the cook prepared. My mother had to cook different dishes for my lunch and dinner, as I would refuse to eat the same thing and then leave for work. She would wake up by 5am every morning and cook, look after the house and then leave for her shoots. She drove herself there everyday and here I am, half her age, being driven around Mumbai by a driver! She's a goddess and I can never thank her enough for all that she's done. Can you imagine how amazing a woman she is, to have never even once complained about all these extra duties weighed down upon her?" Ruslaan says. "But I am now wiser, thank god and so I have tried to make up for all my shaitaani as I was growing up," he adds.
So has mummy been the best influence yet, we ask and pat comes the reply, "without comparison! If I had a child like me, I am sure I am going to be super strict with him and force him to eat what's served (laughs)... you know, as kids, we're hardly ever aware of what our parents go through for all of us, and we never give them credit. I'd like to balance that account and do as much for my mom as she's done for me. Not because this is some trade-off... but more because she deserves it and so much more."
With just a few minutes left, we quickly ask Ruslaan of what his message to his mommy dearest would be this Mother's Day and he indulges us.
"Two years ago, I forgot to wish my mummy on Mother's Day and everyone else in the world seemed to have remembered. My mom was super-pissed with me and ever since I have had a fear of missing the occasion. Two days ago also I was suddenly startled when someone misled me to believe that I had missed it again, thankfully I hadn't! Since then, I've been asking ma as to what she'd like to do and she never really tells me what she wants. I'm too frightened to buy her anything as I'm sure she'll tell me either I have been cheated or that she could have bought it for cheaper and so I am just going to take her out for a day at the mall. Make her choose her own stuff, buy it for her and do something else to spend the day together with her. I'm sure that will make her happy, mom's are after all, the easiest to please," Ruslaan concludes.
Ruslaan Mumtaaz made his debut in Bollywood with MP3 (Mera Pehla Pehla Pyaar). Ruslaan earned many positive reviews and appreciation for this film. We spoke to the chocolate-faced, camera-friendly, confident star who is 'addicted to workouts!' about his exercise regime. Read on to find out what keeps this young actor lean and strong...
What exercise regime do you follow for a muscular and lean body?
As a body type I tend to lose weight very easily and if I do not, I do heavy weights as I tend to look thin. For a lean body I eat right because in my experience I've learnt that what you eat is more important than how much you workout. I do 4 days of weight training and 1 day of cardio. I try and maintain my 6 pack abs and don't worry much about gaining a muscular body. For me having a fit stomach is more important than having bulging biceps.
What kind of a diet do you follow? Any favourite health foods? Any foods you absolutely and completely avoid (and why)?
I follow a protein-rich diet. In recent times I've stopped my dependency on artificial protein shakes and increased my natural intake of protein in the form of eggs, fish and chicken. I love fried and junk food, which I have completely stopped now.
Who, in your opinion, is the fittest Indian celebrity?
According to me the fittest Indian celebrity is Salman Khan because given his busy schedules and social life he still takes out time for his fitness. It is very difficult to maintain such a fit body for a span of 20yrs. At his age to have a body like that is commendable. He defies age and has always been an inspiration and continues to be one. Amongst the newer actors its Ranbir Kapoor, because of his lean and tall frame. His body makes him look relaxed and agile, which is very important for an actor.
Did you have to overcome any hurdles on the road to fitness? Do share.
I've always been into fitness and sports, so always had a good body but I've always been a big foodie too. With age the metabolic rate reduces and in recent times I've had to curb my taste buds and make sacrifices with my food. I do feel bad about not eating as much as I want to, but when I see the sacrifices people make to be in the position I am in, I find my sacrifice very tiny.
