Actors "fitness resolutions and their journey toward achieving them!

 Actors "fitness resolutions and their journey toward achieving them!

For actors, maintaining fitness is not just about looking good on screen—it is about staying strong, energetic, and mentally sharp. With demanding shooting schedules and unpredictable routines, setting fitness resolutions can be challenging. However, many actors remain committed to their goals, whether it is building strength, improving endurance, or adopting a healthier lifestyle alongside their professional careers. &TV artists share their fitness goals, the challenges of balancing workouts with hectic shoots, and the physical and mental transformations they have experienced. These include Vikram Dwivedi (Vishambhar Singh, Bheema), Geetanjali Mishra (Rajesh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Vidisha Srivastava (Anita Bhabhi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Vikram Dwivedi, aka  Vishambhar Singh from Bheema, shares, "My fitness resolution this year is to maintain my current shape for a lifetime. To achieve this, I have completely cut out sugar and focused on balancing my intake of carbs, protein, and fibre. I prefer a gym-free approach, relying on allied workouts that I practice daily, even amidst a hectic schedule. My fitness journey began in 2019 when I weighed around 58 kg. Today, at 70 kg, I have reached an ideal weight for my height. Since then, my body has undergone significant changes, with noticeable growth and strength in every part. This transformation has not only enhanced my physique but also boosted my overall health and well-being, keeping me motivated to stay consistent."

Geetanjali Mishra, aka Rajesh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, shares, "My fitness resolution this year is to maintain a healthy, well-functioning heart. I prioritize staying hydrated by consuming ample water throughout the day and carrying a bottle filled with fresh fruit or vegetable juice. Additionally, I incorporate regular meditation breaks between tasks to maintain a sense of relaxation. Despite occasional cravings, I consciously try to avoid junk food, opting instead for a diet rich in leafy greens, fresh vegetables, fruits, and milk. I encourage everyone to prioritize healthy eating habits to support overall well-being and ensure proper hydration for a healthier lifestyle." Vidisha Srivastava, aka Anita Bhabhi from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, "Fitness, for me, is not just about looking good but feeling strong and energetic every day. This year, I am focusing on a well-rounded approach—keeping my body and heart healthy with regular cardio, prioritizing hormonal balance by listening to my body and strengthening my core for overall wellness. I also believe in making fitness fun! Whether it is trying new dance workouts, hiking, or simply enjoying a mindful yoga session, I want to keep it sustainable and enjoyable. Most importantly, I remind myself that progress matters more than perfection. Small, consistent efforts lead to lasting results, and that is my mantra for a healthier, happier me!"

On International Mother Language Day, Actors reveal their favourite first language expressions!

 On International Mother Language Day, Actors reveal their favourite first language expressions!

Language is more than words—it carries culture, emotions, and identity. International Mother Language Day, observed on February 21st, is a tribute to linguistic diversity and the importance of preserving native languages. With India being home to twenty-two official languages and thousands of dialects, this day holds special significance in celebrating our rich linguistic heritage. This International Mother Language Day, &TV artists, take pride in their first language, cherish the words that connect them to their roots, and strive to keep the essence of their language alive for generations to come. These include Smita Sable (Dhaniya, Bheema), Yogesh Tripathi (Daroga Happu Singh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Shubhangi Atre (Angoori Bhabi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Smita Sable, aka Dhaniya from Bheema, shares, “I take this moment to proudly say, ‘Mala Marathi far aavadtay!’ Being a true Marathi mulgi, I find immense joy in expressing myself in my first language. Since childhood, my immediate reaction to any pain or unexpected situation has always been ‘Arre Deva!’—a phrase that comes straight from the heart. Checking in on someone with a simple ‘Kashya Aahes?’ carries a warmth that feels truly special. What makes Marathi even more beautiful is its unique way of expressing everyday moments. For instance, when stepping out, instead of saying ‘Nighte me’ or ‘I am going out,’ we say ‘Parat Yein,’ which means ‘I will return.’ It is a heartfelt reassurance that no matter where we go, we always intend to come back. That is the essence of Marathi—a language that feels like home!"

Yogesh Tripathi, aka Daroga Happu Singh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, shares, “The dialect of Uttar Pradesh is rich with some of the most unique, earthy, and amusing words and phrases, making conversations lively and full of character. A common way to greet someone here is ‘Ka haal ba?’ I often find myself using  various local words in daily life, such as ‘Bhondoo’ (a foolish person), ‘Chaturaayi’ (over-smartness), ‘Dhakosla’ (nonsense talk), ‘Thokai’ (a good scolding or beating), and one of my favourites, ‘Gadhaa’ (donkey, used playfully to tease close friends). Those who know me well frequently hear me say ‘Bewaqoof,’ which means ‘fool’ in English—a word my mother often used whenever I did something silly or avoided studying (laughs).” Shubhangi Atre, aka Angoori Bhabi from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, “Indore holds a special place in my heart for many reasons—it is delicious food, vibrant fashion, and, most importantly, its wonderful people. But what I cherish the most is my first language. We often address each other, saying ‘Bhaikko’ (How are you?), and instantly receive a warm smile in return. My favourite word in my mother language is ‘Bhannat’ (Fantastic). When pronounced correctly, it has a completely different flavour, and I often use it in my day-to-day life—so much so that everyone on set has also started using it! On this International Mother Language Day, I encourage everyone to embrace and take pride in their native language—not just today, but every day!”
