Perfect 10

The tall model and actor is best known for his role in the Amazon series, Inside Edge and
will soon be seen in Yodha. Tanuj Virwani is fit and fine

1.   What is your fitness mantra?

      I don’t subscribe to any particular fitness mantra. I am not a gym person. I love outdoor activities. Cricket, tennis, I am a cardio junkie, love running, listening to music, the good things in life.

2.   Is mental fitness as important as physical?

      Mental fitness is as important, if not more. How one feels is equally important as how one looks. As an actor, a creative person, you create from the heart. You need to be in a good space to do that.

3.   What is your exercise routine like?

      I love sports, going for long walks, running up the stairs, even. I do enjoy swimming as well.

4. Any particular food you can’t resist even when on a diet?

      I love bingeing late at night. I also have a sweet tooth. Sometimes I feel like ordering a desert late at night when I’m in bed or watching something. Habits I am trying to do less of…

5. Do you meditate?

I went through a phase when I was meditating, during the Lockdown. Maybe after this interview, I will resume meditating and at a consistent level.

6. Do you have any quick fixes, any herbal remedies, tonics you turn to when low and need a boost?

       There are no quick fixes in life. For a healthy mind and body, you have to put in the time. As an actor, one might have to do cosmetic treatments like going to the gym, cut down on salt, go to the spa…

7.   How do you choose to detox after a particularly decadent night?

      The best way to detox is to get some steam, hydrate with some vegetable juice, run, go for a swim. Just indulge in an activity to get all that alcohol out of your system. 

8.   What do you do to get back in shape quickly?

      I would cut down on carbs, cut down on water if you have a photo shoot coming up, cut down on salt intake, and sleep. Nothing as amazing as sleep.

9.   The buffed muscle look or the lean toned look?

      I am not a fan of the buffed muscle look, definitely the lean toned look for me.

10. Who is that one person you think is ultra fit?

      For sportsmen, ViratKohli is the flagbearer of what the human body is capable of. For actors, Hrithik Roshan, is supremely fit.
