TOI: Fitness is not 8 packs-Shaleen

Shaleen Malhotra who plays Arjun in the show Arjun has had basic training of Parkour and undergoes training sessions of kick boxing. 

He says, "Being fit is a state of mind it's not important for an actor to be physically fit even if his character does not demand. More than anything else it's a person's personal wish how he would want to look. I personally feel that I feel good when am both physically fit and mentally fit and stable to do my work with full efficiency, it's also a feel-good factor and being physically fit doesn't mean having a eight pack abs and bulging muscles and am not saying because I don't have them as of now it varies from person to person how he interprets his fitness and how he wants to see himself. Martial arts is something that really attracts me and is also a stress buster and a superb way of being fit while learning a new art." 

Shaleen, tells us that a role is a role whether its on TV, stage or on the big screen. It's the actors duty to do full justice to it. At the end of the day am playing a cop who is the action man as well on TV and can't afford to look fat and be unfit.
