MUMBAI: Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor Hrishikesh Pandey is not only a talented actor but is also a fitness freak. He has a passion for boxing and staying fit and his Instagram feed is a proof of the same. 

In an exclusive conversation with Tellychakkar.com, he opened up about his fitness mantra. 

Hrishikesh said, “I am not trained professionally. I’ve been a fitness freak my entire life. I come from an army background, so it is in my blood. Before this I was doing Special Bureau, a Sony TV show where I played a commando so the first time I did boxing there. Ofcourse I got used to it and during this lockdown I stared practicing. I had this punching bag with which I used to practise. 

When i was cast for Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, I remember Rajan Shahi telling me that the character was related to boxing and he thought of me which was extremely sweet of him. I have been practising boxing and it’s a part of my life now."
