"When the person in the number one position in the country is advising you to take care of your health, then we need to get serious about it. There is a very famous quote: 'Wellness is far, far cheaper than illness.' So, if you don't fall ill, you can save a lot of money," he says.
Highlighting the value of traditional practices, the 64-year-old adds, "Our traditional medical science focuses on healthy living. It talks about healing through food, spices, yoga, yogic science and Ayurveda. Today, different countries are packaging them and exporting them to us. Whereas we are the originators of that!"
The actor says that fitness begins with mindful eating habits: "The start to fitness begins from eating local food from wherever you are."
He also voices concern about Indians getting influenced by western fads. "Fitness is about keeping things simple. If you can give four days a week to any sport, that's perfect. Then, go for ghar ka khaana, and you will see the difference. We must reduce ordering food and I am saying this specifically to our younger generation."
Urging others to see fitness as simple and not "rocket science", he adds, "My fitness is not rocket science! Everyone can follow it; it's so simple. And I talk about fitness, even at this age, as I want ki bacche isey follow karein!"...
