Fitness Secrets By Paras Arora Aka Guddu In Sony SAB’s Baavle Utaavle

What is fitness for you?

Fitness is not only about going to the gym or doing functional training. It is all about how fit you are in your regular routine life. This can be through outdoor sports or yoga or any other physical activity you like doing. In my opinion, staying fit and active is more important than having heavily built up muscles.

What is your fitness mantra?

In very simple words, my fitness mantra is “Eat Right”. For us, it is not always possible to go to the gym and work out. Also, it is rightly said that fitness is 70% diet and only 30% gym. So, I try and control my eating habits by avoiding junk and eating healthy. I go to work out in the gym when time permits.

How do you keep your mind and body fit?

I try to stay positive, always. You should try to surround yourself with positivity and positive people and try to eliminate any negativity that surrounds you. This will help keep your mind fit and ultimately lead to keeping your body fit as well. I believe what a person thinks, is what happens to them in real life. Hence, I keep my thoughts as positive as possible and try to be with positive people.

In your hectic routine, what are the little things you ensure to practice/ do to maintain a healthy life

We, actors, do have a really hectic schedule and thus, it becomes difficult to maintain a healthy life. However, if you take care of little things in your routine, you can achieve your goal of having a healthy mind and body. I pay great attention to my eating and drinking habits. Of course, I can’t do much while shooting for Sony SAB’s Baavle Utaavle, but whenever I get time between the shots, I manage to do a little work out session in my makeup room itself. I specifically try including green tea in my diet as it also helps increase metabolism.

Your favorite healthy snacking on-the-go items, what do you munch on?

Protein Bars are something I grab on to. They are easy to carry, are tasty and also provide you with the needed dose of protein. I also love munching on dry fruits. They are my favourite and I always have some of them wherever I go.

One thing you that you can’t resist. (For eg – Gulab Jamun, Cheesecakes, etc)

I have a sweet tooth. I can’t resist on sweets. I always think that if I wasn’t an actor, I would have been a ‘halwaai’. I can eat any sweet item and this is my weakness, which I always have to be very careful about. My body type is such that if I don’t control on food, I will immediately gain weight.

What fitness advice would you give to your fans?

Workout is not everything you can do to stay fit. I myself opt to outdoor games when I have time, instead of going to gym as this is what makes me feel active. Outdoor sports and such activities are very important to build stamina and hence, everyone can do a lot of things in their regular life to stay fit. So, just give equal time to everything and balance your life to be healthy.
