Kashibai Bajirao Ballal actor Rohit Chandel reveals how he keeps himself fit despite his busy schedule
The popular ZEE TV show Kashibai Bajirao Ballal recently took a 7-year leap which paved the way for the introduction of several new cast members. Actors Riya Sharma, Rohit Chandel, and Farnaz Shetty joined the cast to play Kashibai, Bajirao, and Mastani respectively.
Since Rohit Chandel, who is blessed with great looks and a dashing personality, plays Bajirao on the show, he needs to look bold, heroic and pumped up to look the part. But we all know that working on a historical show is not easy. Actors work extra hours to deliver episodes on time. In such a scenario, visiting the gym every day is not possible.
To overcome this problem, Chandel has created a makeshift gym on the sets of the show and uses the things available on the set, including weights used to hold down trolleys and lights as well as shoot equipment for working out.
“I have managed to create my own makeshift gym on the sets, and I utilize our shoot equipment to work out. In fact, I sometimes even use the weights used to hold down the trolleys and lights during the shoot. I hope the audience appreciates our hard work and they continue to shower our show with their love and affection,” he told a publication.
He went on to add, “It gets difficult for every actor to cope with multiple tasks and maintain the right look during their hectic shoot schedules, but I try my best. I always want to do justice to my character and hence, maintaining the correct physique is also important for me.
“Since I am playing Bajirao in Kashibai Bajirao Ballal, I need to look pumped and heroic, but sometimes managing to remove time for a workout becomes difficult, especially since we are staying on the set. We shoot in Karjat, which is quite far from the main city. So, travelling to and fro from our houses is difficult.
“We don’t have a good gym nearby as well. However, I have managed to create my own makeshift gym on the sets, and I utilize our shoot equipment to work out. In fact, I sometimes even use the weights used to hold down the trolleys and lights during the shoot. I hope the audience appreciates our hard work and they continue to shower our show with their love and affection,” he concluded.
