Actor Abhishek Malik, who is seen as Neel in Jamai No. 1, which is produced by Prateek Sharma and Parth Shah under their banner Studio LSD, says working out while shooting for a daily soap is a little challenging, and therefore he ensures that he eats right.
He said, “I hardly get time to work out, so I measure what I eat and keep a count of my calories. I’m always on my toes, which keeps me busy and energized, and that naturally burns calories.”
He stressed that as actors, they might need to do bare-body shots at any time, so it’s important to always work out and stay presentable. However, he added, “But beyond being an actor, I feel everyone should dedicate at least an hour to staying fit.” In fact, he is not a gym junkie and prefers home workouts. He added, “I have dumbbells and some machines, and I do pull-ups and push-ups. This setup works for me given my schedule.”
He doesn’t believe in following a strict diet and instead practices intermittent fasting for 15 hours. He said, “After my last meal of the day, I let my body rest and start my day with something healthy like black coffee. It’s more about calculation and balance.”
Abhishek Malik also mentioned that staying fit makes him feel more energetic and said, “Even eating less and staying active helps keep me in shape. I also rely on black coffee shots, one in the morning and one around 4 PM, to boost my energy levels.”
He said that everyone should try to stay fit, even if they don’t go to the gym. He said, “Keeping a check on calorie intake and staying active are key. You have to prioritize yourself and your health.”
Two fitness tips? “Count your calorie intake, drink lots of water, and stay active—whether through workouts or outdoor activities. It’s all about consistency and balance,” Abhishek Malik ended.
