Abhishek Malik shares his on-the-go fitness hacks; says 'It's not about having six-pack abs — it's about staying active, taking care of your body and mind'
Jamai No. 1 has steadily gained viewer attention with its engaging drama and charismatic characters. The show's central character, Neel, is portrayed by Abhishek Malik, who skillfully balances charm and responsibility. While he keeps the audience captivated on-screen, his off-screen commitment to health and fitness is equally commendable, even with the demanding shooting schedule. With back-to-back scenes and long hours on set, many would find it challenging to fit workouts into their schedules. However, Abhishek doesn't let his busy days hinder his commitment to staying active. He frequently transforms any available corner of the set into his personal fitness space. Whether it's resistance band training in his makeup room, doing core exercises during scene changes, or taking a quick power walk between takes, he ensures that movement remains a priority. Abhishek also attributes his discipline to a strong focus on mindful eating. During breaks between shoots, he opts for clean, homemade meals and avoids sugary snacks, choosing instead protein bars, fruits, and plenty of water. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Abhishek said, 'Fitness helps me stay balanced, especially during long and unpredictable shoot days. I don't always have time for a full gym workout, but I make it a point to keep moving, even if it's just a 15-minute walk around the set, a few rounds of stretching between shots, climbing stairs or Step-up exercise. Sometimes, I use whatever's around — a chair for squats, a wall for push-ups. It's not about having six-pack abs — it's about staying active, feeling fresh, and taking care of your body and mind. On hectic days, these small habits really make a big difference.' Abhishek's approach to fitness is simple yet powerful — it's not about doing a lot but about showing up every day. In the upcoming episodes, viewers will find it interesting to see how Neel tries his best to get Kanchan (Papia Sengupta) to reveal her true side, but will he succeed, or will Kanchan once again outsmart him with her devious tricks?

Exclusive - Papia Sengupta on evolving with the craft: As someone who has been in the industry for a while, I can say that every phase comes with new challenges
Actress Papia Sengupta, who is currently seen as Kanchan Chotwani in Jamai No. 1, says that the landscape of the entertainment industry is continuously changing. She adds that this also reflects on the nature of struggle in an actor's life, and the way projects are being made today. "The nature of struggle changes, but it never fully disappears. As someone who has been in the industry for a while, I can say that every phase comes with new tests, whether it's about adapting to new formats, staying emotionally connected to your craft, or keeping up with evolving trends,' she says. For Papia, acting is a continual process of growth and self-reflection. "Acting is never a comfort zone. Each role demands a new lens. Even a short appearance or cameo needs preparation. You carry the weight of audience expectations and your own standard of truthfulness. That kind of pressure doesn't allow it to ever be 'easy',' she says. When asked about staying creatively inspired, she adds, "Inspiration comes from observing life closely. I read books, sometimes even watch my old performances to reflect as well as I love watching new web series or movies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gold Is Surging in 2025 — Smart Traders Are Already In IC Markets Learn More Undo What helps most is staying curious and never thinking I've learned everything.

It shows what people are connecting with emotionally. If there's room to adjust certain nuances without compromising the character, I do take those thoughts seriously. Art is a dialogue, not a monologue,' she says. With richer roles being written for women across ages, Papia feels the industry is finally embracing nuance and complexity. "It's truly an expansive time for storytelling. There's no longer one type of heroine or one type of mother. Characters are layered, age is no barrier, and depth is celebrated. That gives actors like me the space to thrive and contribute meaningfully." Muskuraane Ki Vajah Tum Ho actor Abhishek Malik shows his last clicked selfie on his phone

Jamai Raja actor Abhishek Malik on International Plastic Bag Free Day; says 'I keep a reusable cloth bag folded in my car and gym bag'
International Plastic Bag Free Day, observed on 3rd July, is more than an awareness date; it's a reminder to embrace conscious living, question convenience, and commit to choices that protect our planet. For decades, single-use plastic has seeped into every corner of our lives — from grocery runs to everyday essentials — but the tide is turning. More and more people are choosing reusables, making small shifts that together create a meaningful difference. On this occasion, actor Abhishek Malik from Jamai No. 1 reflects on the little habits embraced in his personal life — each a step towards sustainability, each a reminder that real change begins at home. Abhishek Malik, who essays the role of Neel in Jamai No. 1 said, 'International Plastic Bag Free Day is a much-needed reminder that change doesn't always have to be big or dramatic, it can begin with something as simple as saying no to a plastic bag. I'll be honest, there was a time I used to think, 'What difference does one bag make?' But then it struck me, I was using one almost every single day. That's over 300 bags a year, just from me. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Want to Become a Profitable Intraday Trader?

He further said, "This year's message really resonates: we don't need a few people doing sustainability perfectly, we need millions doing it imperfectly, but consistently. I believe in that. Change doesn't have to be dramatic. It's in that quiet decision to carry your own bag, refuse plastic, and show up for the planet in small ways. That's where real impact lies.' The Jamai Raja actor is impressing the audience with his performance on the show. His chemistry with Simaran Kaur is also appreciated by fans. The actor recently recreated Allu Arjun's look from Pushpa 2 for one of the sequences of his show. Muskuraane Ki Vajah Tum Ho actor Abhishek Malik shows his last clicked selfie on his phone

Abhishek Malik on his tapri moment for Jamai No. 1: If I'm going to be a chaiwala on screen, I might as well be one off-screen too
In a heartwarming twist on Jamai No. 1, viewers recently saw Neel, played by Abhishek Malik, don the avatar of a chaiwala to woo his on-screen wife Riddhi ( Simaran Kaur ). As part of a unique romantic gesture, Neel takes Riddhi on an old-school 'tapri date,' where he dresses up as a teaseller and serves her a hot cup of chai, turning a simple beverage into a symbol of love and nostalgia. But what truly made the day special was what brewed behind the scenes! Abhishek Malik, who completely immersed himself in the role, decided to take things a notch higher, not just acting like a chaiwala for the camera, but becoming one for the cast and crew off-camera as well. Despite having never made tea before in his life, the actor surprised everyone on set by taking over the tea duty. With some help from the spot boys and kitchen team, he learned the art of brewing the perfect cup and went on a chai-serving spree during breaks between shots. Abhishek said, 'This track was honestly one of the most fun sequences I've shot in a while. When I heard the concept, I was instantly excited — it was such a sweet and goofy way for my character to express love. I thought, if I'm going to be a chaiwala on screen, I might as well be one off-screen too! I had no clue how to make tea, but the crew was super helpful. I learned quickly and decided to treat my on-screen family and the crew members on the set with a hot cup of chai — proper adrak, elaichi aur laung wali chai! I really wanted to give it that classic, cutting-chai tapri vibe. Though I still don't know if I got it right, everyone was super encouraging. It turned into this whole thing where we had a mini chai session between takes. Everyone was so sporting about it, even those who don't usually drink tea gave it a try. It just created such a warm, happy vibe on set. Moments like these remind me how much fun this job can be.' While Abhishek Malik's impromptu chai-serving spree and infectious energy left everyone on set with a smile and a sip of something special, the upcoming track will take a dramatic turn as Sayli (played by Sonal Vengurlekar) attempts to drive a wedge between Riddhi and Neel by manipulating situations and creating misunderstandings. Will her tactics succeed, or will love triumph in the end? Muskuraane Ki Vajah Tum Ho actor Abhishek Malik shows his last clicked selfie on his phone
