One
thing the small screen actors can't afford
to have is a bulging tummy or an amorphous
body type.

No
time for workouts? Nikhil Arya caught
between shoots at Madh island
|
Nikhil
Arya, who plays Rudra in Kesar and
Vivaan in Rabba Ishq Na Hove, stays
busy from sunup to sundown. But one thing
he hates to fiddle with is his health system.
Here we have Nikhil
Arya in conversation with Riya
V. Anandwala, revealing how finicky
he is when it comes to health!
What
is more important for you, to look good
or to feel good?
Definitely to feel good, 'cos if you don't
feel good, you don't look good. Firstly,
to be in shape and again, I have a tendency
to put on weight.
What
do you do to keep fit?
Well, I do everything possible. But time
doesn't really permit me to. I work out
and play some sport....
What
is your medium of exercising?
Gym and sports.
Which gym?
The
cuppa that keeps him going |
As
my shooting schedules are never fixed, I
don't go to any gym. But I have a personal
trainer who comes home and makes me work
out.
Do
you do more of cardio or weight training?
I do both, I need to balance out.
What'
most important to you, breakfast, lunch
or dinner?
For me, breakfast is an extremely important
meal in a day.
What does your
breakfast comprise of?
It has to be really heavy. Sometimes, I
binge on muesli while sometimes I have parathas
with a wee bit of olive oil. A fruit in
a day is a must.
Having a maharaj who cooks for me
and doesn't let me miss my home cooked food
is bliss!
He packs my daily lunch. Dinner is usually
something light.
What's
your height and weight?
I stand at 5.10" and my weight keeps
varying from 77 to 85 kgs!
Water,
coconut water and protein shakes maintain
that hunk look |
How
do rigorous shooting schedules affect your
health?
The most important factor is sleep, and
as I am shooting for two serials currently,
I miss my beauty sleep at times!
Even when it comes to my diet, the packed
food from home is sometimes not enough.
Then I tend to order stuff from Subway or
anything of that sort which warps my fitness
regime.
And
last but not the least are the four cups
of tea, which keep me going every day of
my shoot.
Do
you gorge on any health drink?
A litre of water in a day is a must. Other
than that, at least two glasses of coconut
water is very necessary for me. I do splurge
on protein shakes while working out.
Are
you into any kind of yoga or meditation?
This is the sad part, I just don't get time
for meditation or Art of Living, which I
would love to practise.
