At the age of 71, Rakesh Roshan is showing no signs of slowing down. The fitness regime and workout sessions of the actor-filmmaker can make any youngster unfit. Back in 2018, he was diagnosed with cancer. Self admitted, the veteran star has a healthy body to thank for his recovery.
Recently, while talking to Hindustan Times, Rakesh told that after the treatment, he will not be able to lift even a five-pound dumbbell.
He shared, “I started with books and now I am lifting 40 kgs. It’s proof that it’s all in the mind,” adding that he was determined to get his fitness game back after that. So he took some help from his already fit body.
Interestingly, Rakesh’s stint with fitness began long before his cancer diagnosis. Ever since he was in school, he was conscious to maintain his health and fitness. Recalling those days, he shared that he had taken rigorous training in school and he used to play all sports and was very good. Rakesh said that it automatically became a part of my life and he has been working out since then. He said, “Look at me, I am still working with the same interest and the same eagerness.”
Rakesh strongly opposes age-related fitness and health norms. “It’s all in the mind,” he said. If the mind is ready to take care of health, nothing can stop it. He said positively that this is something that is in our own hands.
Routine, Rakesh said that it is important to be set and follow it religiously. Breaking his regime, he explained, that in the morning he does yoga for an hour, does all the breathing exercises, and then walks for an hour, covering a distance of 4 to 5 kilometres. After this, he works out for one and a half hours in the gym with his trainer. He also swims for 45 minutes in the evening.
To his fellow senior citizens, Rakesh gave a tip saying, “The fitter you are, the more work you will be able to do and the more positive you become. Negative thoughts go away, you love what you do and enjoy what you do.”
