Sooraj Pancholi is certainly one of the fittest actors of his generation and those who know him swear by his fitness regime and his passion towards being fit and leading a healthy life. “I am very passionate about fitness and want to do whatever I can in my space. I derive my inspiration from Sylvester Stallone and Salman Khan. They are the reasons for me being so fit. Not just me, everyone looks up to Salman where fitness is concerned,” informs Sooraj.
The fitness freak runs a martial art centre in Mumbai for last four years and currently, he’s finalising details for two more centres in two colleges in Chandigarh for students who don’t have access to gyms. The actor who made a foray into the business domain at an early age, says, “I think age has nothing to do with fitness and health, because I have knowledge about both, and can impart that to people, who don’t.
It’s a fitness centre primarily and martial arts are a part of it, but that’s not all of it. I opened a fitness centre in Bandra and this is the fourth year that the martial arts classes have been going on for. There are three classes (called Tribal Combat) in Mumbai. It was basically Taekwondo at first, but now we have three martial arts trainers and combined all the martial arts together and are teaching mixed martial arts (MMA). We mostly have young girls and women training, which I think is great.”
