26 Dec 2012 11:44 PM GMT
He has just turned 53, and he wants to work towards a six-pack physique. And as he gets older, he says wants to keep his eating habits in check and be as positive as the Dalai Lama.
‘I never had a paunch. But regrettably I never had a six-pack either. Hopefully with my son's help, I'll get there too. In the meanwhile, I've lost a lot more weight recently for (TV show) 24. I am more agile and flexible and leaner. I've lost six kgs,’ said Anil, who celebrated his birthday Monday. He is content that he has spent many years of life working hard. ‘I try my best to do the right thing. Age is just a number. Staying healthy and fit is just a matter of discipline. Recently, I had the good fortune of meeting the Dalai Lama. I felt so cleansed! Just listening to him is such an enriching experience.
‘What he said was, 'how you feel and choose to live are all up to you. If you lie to yourself and to others, you're bound to be unhealthy'. Look how radiant the Dalai Lama looks. I'd love to look as radiant when I reach his age. Positivity has always been my mantra for existence,’ added the actor.
Anil, who has three children - daughters Sonam and Rhea, and son Harshvardhan, is careful about his eating habits. ‘I never touch the samosas. But I love the upper-crust. I don't have the filling.
People say I look like a samosa without the filling. I've worked to stay slim. I've never been a red meat eater. I eat frugally and carefully. But I do indulge myself.
‘There's nothing I haven't done in my life. I can gorge on forbidden food any time.But I admit I make a lot of culinary sacrifices. One has to give up some pleasures to achieve what one wants to,’ he said.
‘When I see Salman Khan and how hard he works on his body, I want to work harder on my body. Look at how hard Hrithik (Roshan) and Ranbir (Kapoor) work,’ he said.
