How I Keep Fit

Diet: I8217;VE never thrown a tantrum about karela, tinda or any other vegetable. I don8217;t restrict myself or avoid anything. My breakfast varies, but I never skip it. Lunch and dinner are mostly at home, but I love trying out new restaurants and cuisines. What8217;s important is relishing whatever you eat.

Exercise: I8217;M not an exercise freak. I joined a gym because I wanted to introduce some form of exercise. I was also endlessly ragged by health-conscious friends about the lack of exercise in my life. When I8217;m in town, I gym thrice a week for about 45 minutes. I avoid cardio as it makes me lose weight. I warm up on the treadmill and do weights for my arms, legs and back.

Problem areas: I8217;M blessed with a good metabolic system, so I don8217;t put on weight in odd places. I sometimes suffer from back ache, but it8217;s caused by stress.

Manasarovar has received a lot of critical acclaim. Do you think it will be as popular commercially? Manasarovar8217;s sensibility is not mainstream. So some will take to it, some won8217;t. But that applies to any film. I8217;m happy about the experience I gained. All that matters is that it8217;s a good script and role.
