Mangal Lakshmi actor Naman Shaw on skipping gym and finding fitness in everyday life; says ‘My job is my cardio'
'Gymming is tough with our tight schedule, so I squeeze it in whenever I can — maybe three or four times a month,' Naman candidly shared. Instead, he focuses more on his eating habits. 'I prioritize my diet, avoiding unhealthy junk food and outside food. I also try to limit my sweet intake, despite loving them.'
While regular workouts take a backseat, Naman believes his workday itself doubles up as fitness time. 'Our job itself is a workout! We stand on set for 8-10 hours a day — that's like cardio. The distance between my makeup room and the set is quite a bit, and I make 10-20 trips a day. Whenever I get free time, I take a walk around the sets.' He sums up his fitness mantra in one line: 'It's all about lifestyle, really!'
Interestingly, when he's not on set, Naman finds natural ways to stay active — like pitching in with household chores. 'I feel the house belongs to both the man and the woman. I love taking care of my home, whether it's cleaning the kitchen or sweeping the floors. During the pandemic, we all shared responsibilities. I take pride in helping my wife — it's all about teamwork.'
With a career spanning several popular shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kasamh Se, and Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Naman proves that fitness isn't always about dumbbells and diets — it can be built into your everyday life.
