Actor Rajat Arora, who is a part of Dhurandhar The Revenge, believes fitness has become more holistic now. He said, “Health is truly our biggest asset. For me, it’s not just about physical fitness but also mental calmness and emotional balance. In our fast-paced lives, we often forget to slow down, so it’s important to reconnect with ourselves and take better care of our overall well-being.” "Earlier, health was mostly about physical strength or appearance, but today it’s also about mental peace and balance. For me, fitness is a mix of cycling, playing cricket, and practicing yoga. Cycling and cricket keep me active and energetic, while yoga helps me stay calm and centered. It’s about feeling good from within," he added. 

He believes traditional Indian practices like home-cooked meals and daily routines still hold relevance in modern health habits. He said, "Simple home-cooked food and a disciplined routine are things we’ve grown up with, and they still work the best. No matter how modern our lifestyle becomes, these basics are timeless and very effective."  With increasing screen time, Rajat stressed the need to consciously disconnect at times. He said, "I try to balance it by staying physically active—whether it’s cycling or playing cricket. Even small habits like taking breaks, stretching, or stepping out for fresh air can make a big difference. It’s about creating that balance." 

He also feels that sleep plays a big role in maintaining overall health. He said, "It is very underrated. No matter how much you work out or eat healthy, if your sleep isn’t right, it shows. I feel proper rest helps you recover, stay focused, and keep your energy levels balanced throughout the day."  Asked about the importance of discipline in maintaining long-term health, he said, "It plays a huge role. Motivation comes and goes, but discipline is what keeps you going. Even on days when I don’t feel like doing much, I try to do something—maybe a light yoga session or a short cycle ride. It’s about being consistent, not perfect."  A simple lifestyle change that can make a big difference? "I would say stay active in a way you enjoy. It doesn’t have to be complicated. It could be cycling, playing a sport like cricket, or even just going for a walk. Also, don’t forget to keep a light heart—I like to improvise jokes and keep the environment around me cheerful. A happy mind automatically supports a healthy body," Rajat concluded.
