Hey guys,

By now you all must have seen me in my new show Palampur Express. I am so sorry for not being able to inform you'll about it in advance, schedule has been really hectic!!  Anyways, thank you for loving me as Karan in Kitani Mohabbat Hai and do give me your responses to my new character. But for now let's discuss a very important topic of today's times, especially for actors - Fitness!

Working out & getting into shape if I go a little overboard with binging on sugar & junk, is an exercise I don't have to get myself to do. Unlike most people, I like visiting the gym & paying attention to my body & working on it. I try to frequent the gym at least 5 times a week. Exercising is vital & a must for everybody & I'm all for it! It is important for your mind, body & soul. Sweating it out, helps you stay & feel healthy. As the saying goes, 'health is wealth' so everyone should swear by it! As an actor, just looking good, acting well, delivering your lines, & so on is not it; working out adds to your overall personality.

So basically, I do cardio twice a week. There is no hard & fixed rule as such, but my regime is usually set. The training I follow is called 'circuit training' which covers working on all body parts, followed by cardio. Shahrukh Khan & I share something in common-our personal trainer, Prashant!

                                    

I am a big foodie but not one that indulges in roadside junk/fast food. I'll probably only have a bite at the most & my taste buds will be satisfied. But otherwise I am very strict on what I feed my stomach with! I don't indulge in sweet, high-caloried food. Also if I do gain weight, I assure I'm back into shape soon.

As for my diet, it is a healthy, nutritious one. I kick-start my day with a heavy breakfast, consisting of oats, & a glass of juice/coconut water/milk. Oats is a great cereal since it comprises of all kinds of vitamins, proteins & fiber. My lunch is medium-no rice/sweets. Just 2-3 rotis, some chicken, curd, dal, & vegetable. Dinner is light & I try to be done early by around 8pm. I generally eat tandoori chicken or a wholesome sandwich. Eating right is extremely important & Im not a fussy eater so it works great for me. Snacks would usually be biscuits or a protein shake, which is staple for evenings. Oily food is something I avoid

So that was my fitness regime & diet that I follow. And yes guys, one secret! My next aim is to get the infamous 6 pack abs. Hopefully I get them soon! Anyways, I hope I have motivated all of you enough to become a fan of the gym & a good balance diet as well! Trust me; there is nothing better than feeling healthy.

Love,

Hiten

And back again!

Hi Guys,

So here we are with the second round of answers....and no more questions please .  Our hands are hurting from typing

1. GAURI DO YOU WATCH HITEN ON ''KITNI MOHABBAT HAI'' REGULARLY?
   -shakila5678                Mahamluvsght

2. GAURI, DO YOU FEEL THE SLIGHTEST BIT JEALOUS SEEING HITEN SHARE ONSCREEN SPLACE WITH OTHER FEMALE STARS?

   shakila5678

Gauri-Feeling insecure is immature I think.  If he is required to romance his co-star then I'd want him to do it perfectly & flawlessly! Besides, Hiten shows & expresses his love often to let me even slightly feel jealous
Gauri- No not for a while atleast. Once I'm done with my pregnancy, then I'll resume with my career.

3.      HITEN, HOW EASY/HARD WAS YOUR JOURNEY IN REACHING WHERE YOU HAVE?
-adventure_gurl            SMITAKSHI               anju26

Hiten- I was very fixed on making acting my career.  Obviously it wasn't easy or a cake walk. Even though times seemed very obstructive & unbeatable, I did not give up my dream. I advise all my fans out there, that no matter how hard life seems, do not ever quit. Believe in your dreams & yourself.

 

4. WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO HAVING SUCH AN AMAZING START TO YOUR CAREERS?
   -cool_time

Hiten & Gauri- We were both undoubtedly overwhelmed we bagged the roles & that too with Balaji, which is such a prestigious production house.  It gave us a great start & we couldn't be more thankful to them.

5. WHAT WERE YOU BOTH AS STUDENTS? HOW DID YOU FARE?
   -SMITAKSHI               Gopa-1             cool_time

Hiten- I was an extremely serious, hardworking student. I took my academics quite seriously.

Gauri-Me too. For me my books were my best friend. I was studious & scored well.

 

 

6. YOUR TAKE ON ENTERING THE BOLLYWOOD INDUSTRY...
   -choutadevikrup             gk_09             cool_time

Hiten-Well I'd love to try my luck in films. If a good offer with an exciting role comes along, I will surely take it but not any random part. It has to appeal to me.

 

Gauri- I on the other hand wouldnt want to try out in Bollywood. Maybe a parallel cinema but not commercial for sure.

 

 

 

7. WHO TAKES CARE OF YOUR PET DOG BECKHAM?

10. HITEN DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE THEORY 'OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND'? 
    -Flandersmith

Hiten-yes I do believe in the theory 'out of sight, out of mind' & that is why Im here with all of you! I am happy with my role in 'Kitni Mohabbat Hai' for the time being. If a satisfying lead role comes along, I will take that up but for right now, keep watching me in KMH.

 

 

11. GAURI WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR CLOTHES & ACCESSORIES FROM?
    -ahana_07            VirgoVixen          anika_seth
