But what interests everyone, including his fans, is that his way of staying fit and pursuing fitness are different from usual. He might not be spending hours in the gym, but he makes sure he gets his daily workout in by other means whether it’s swimming, going for outdoor runs, or climbing up stairs. In one of an old interviews where a few actors were promoting a film, Riteish Deshmukh commented on Kumar’s fitness and said that the actor doesn’t always need equipment, he might climb up 10 floors of the hotel if that’s how he could clock in his daily steps.

He practices mindfulness and believes in following a routine that not only strengthens his body but also his mind and soul.
