Actor Romiit Raaj, who is currently seen playing the character of Rohit in Rajan Shahi's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, in an exclusive chat with us says that he makes sure to keep himself mentally and physically fit. He says that he makes sure to watch good content as well as keep himself in shape.
“Fitness is everything to me, and mean mental and physical here. I don’t watch idiotic content on OTT which is dark. I watch good entertaining stuff. I start my day with puja and chanting mantras. I practice Vipassana. Physical fitness is to keep your body in the best possible shape and it surely makes you feel awesome. I go to the gym everyday, do weight training and kickboxing three times a week. I love walking and enjoy walking on the beach or at bandstand or Marine Lines, Queen necklace. I eat only home food. I don’t eat samosas or other fried stuff. I don’t eat anything after sunset. I try to eat healthy veg food, for me, Khichdi is the best meal,” he says.
Ask him when he finds time to workout, and he says, “I don’t get time on shoot days so I work out at night around 11pm. I work 12 to 13hrs, then go to the gym at night. Mornings are for families where we eat breakfast early in the morning together.”
He adds, “I follow a healthy diet as I mentioned earlier. I enjoy makhana, dry fruits, avocado and fresh fruits in between meals. I don’t eat biscuits or anything which is packaged food.”
He says that being fit helps you feel better. “I feel exercise changes your mood and the shape of your body. Good hormones follow in your body after workout. You feel super fit. Honestly, it’s so good to see so many people running marathons and working out in the gym,” he says.
Being fit is important to everyone, more so for actors, he says, “You need to look fit and suit the character, Rajan Sir gave me the best opportunity ever to be a part of a super special show called Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. My Character Rohit is a younger brother to Armaan so I lost 10 kgs for it. I just can't let Rajan sir down ever and I have to give better than the best effort for my character.”
