Amitabh Bachchan, the Bollywood icon at 81, maintains a disciplined fitness regime amid his hectic professional commitments. Vrindaa Mehta, his wellness trainer for nearly 24 years, recently shed some light on his workout routine, stressing on the importance of making time for exercise.
She stressed that if Mr. Bachchan can prioritise fitness amid his busy schedule, everyone can take out time for their health.
'The mindset is, when you know something is good for you, you just do it. It’s not about comfort, it’s not about not having time", she added.
Vrindaa described Amitabh Bachchan's fitness sessions more on breath work, beginning with basic exercises and progressing to pranayama and yoga stretches.
Shivoham, another wellness trainer of the actor, revealed challenges of scheduling workouts for the actor. He adds, "There are times when we have to tell him, ‘Let’s not train right now, it’s not ideal for you’. The point is, he does take out the time, whether it’s morning, afternoon, or evening, or even between meetings, because he knows it’s important.'
Vrindaa praised Amitabh Bachchan for his exceptional punctuality and discipline. Recalling their early morning training sessions that commences at 6 am, she highlighted his rare instances of lateness/tardiness, always humbly notifying delays. 'He doesn’t need to apologise for five-seven minutes... We take it for granted, but I’ve learned the value of time from him,' she said.
Amitabh Bachchan's role in Nag Aswin's cinematic venture, 'Kalki 2898 AD,' have cemented his iconic status. His portrayal of Ashwatthama has garnered widespread acclaim, adding another feather to his career. Recently, he shared a viewing of the film with his son Abhishek Bachchan, marking a cherished moment in their familial bond.
His ability to seamlessly integrate health-conscious practices into a schedule highlights the importance of prioritising physical well-being amid busy routines.
