For Kumkum Bhagya's Namik Paul, Health Is Non-Negotiable
Last Updated: Namik Paul opened up about how he manages to stay fit despite his demanding schedule. Actor Namik Paul joined the cast of the popular TV show Kumkum Bhagya last month. In the latest storyline, Namik steps in as Shivansh Randhava, an intense and mysterious character. While Namik is busy exploring this new role, he is also making sure his fitness routine doesn't take a back seat. The Qubool Hai actor opened up about how he manages to stay active despite the demanding schedule on set. Speaking to IANS, Namik said, 'For me, health and fitness have always been non-negotiable. It's never just been about looking a certain way—it's about feeling strong, staying energised, and maintaining control over both my mind and body." Even on busy shoot days, Namik finds small gaps between scenes to get in some movement. Sometimes it is a few push-ups, jumping jacks, short walks or anything to keep the 'blood flowing." The actor also shared his approach to eating right. He always keeps healthy snacks with him on set and drinks plenty of water. While he's mindful of his dietary choices, he also believes in treating himself every now and then. 'I believe in balance, so I indulge in a cheat meal now and then. It's all about enjoying the little things without compromising the bigger picture," he added. On days when he is not shooting, Namik said he pushes himself harder in the gym. 'My workouts are a mix of strength training, muscle conditioning, and cardio. At the end of the day, fitness is not a phase or a checklist item—it's what keeps me grounded, centred, and ready to give my best," he said. Earlier, while speaking to IANS, Namik had opened up about the emotional depth of his character. He said, 'Shivansh is a good man at heart, but circumstances pushed him down a darker path. Portraying that shift in his personality, while keeping him real and relatable, will be creatively fulfilling." He had also hinted at a suspenseful backstory for his character and added that viewers will gradually discover what shaped him into the person he is. Namik had expressed excitement about showing this intense new side of himself on screen. Kumkum Bhagya has been one of Zee TV's longest-running shows. It previously featured actors like Sriti Jha, Shabir Ahluwalia, Mugdha Chaphekar, Krishna Kaul, and Abrar Qazi. The current storyline is led by Pranali Rathod and Akshay Bindra. First Published:
