It has been a month since India went into complete lockdown in an attempt to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus in the country. Since going out is out of question amid strict restrictions, it is extremely important to engage oneself in some sort of physical activity. Following a proper routine is also of utmost importance.
Television hunk Paras Chhabra also feels the same. He says that it is important to keep oneself engaged in some or the other activity at home to ward off all the negativity around. “Meditation is the best solution currently. I am trying to have sound sleep and also listen to happy and positive things to deviate my mind from all the negative thoughts. While I myself don’t practice any form of meditation, I believe that engaging in recreational activities like watching TV is also good for you because that keeps your mind uplifted,” says the actor.
Sharing his daily routine during the quarantine, Paras says, “I wake up around 11 am and have my brunch. Since I am not working out, I am having more of fibre and protein, since they absorb fat from the body. My daily dose of fibre-rich food includes broccoli, carrots, and sweetcorn. I am lucky that my mom is there by my side during the quarantine, otherwise things would have been difficult.”
The actor is also devoting some time to groom himself at home. “I never used to go for facials anyway. But being at home I am trying to take good care of my skin and washing it thrice a day with cold water. I am also regularly massaging my face with aloe vera gel, since it soothes the skin and keeps it cool.”
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
