“Never take your body for granted. Use natural therapies to keep good health.”
For the Welcome star, a good and balanced diet is also very important to have a fit body. The actor generally consumes five to six meals in a day and prefers his food to be home-cooked. And being a Punjabi, he loves sweets, but does not touch them after his evening meal. He does not drink tea, coffee, or alcohol, and he does not even smoke. He munches on dry fruits in between meals and prefers steamed, grilled or sautéed food over fried stuff. However, he lets himself go on Sundays and indulges in his favourite delicacies, especially sweets. For the rest of the days of the week, he eats in moderation, drinks amla (Indian gooseberry) juice, and follows a strict diet regime. He usually has his dinner by 7, so that the food can be digested before his sleeping time.
