Fitness is very important for any actor. But what happens when you are a foodie? Actor Dheeraj Dhoopar says that he makes sure to hit the gym regularly.

He feels that since he is a Punjabi, he is bound to be a foodie. “I am a Punjabi and my love for good food can’t be described in words. But being an actor, I need to check on what I am eating and its quantity. For actors, staying fit and healthy is very important. I prefer staying on the leaner side, I don’t like too much muscles. I go to the gym every day and maintain a proper fitness regime,” says the actor, who has starred in TV shows such as Behenein, Kuch Toh Log Kahenge and Sasural Simar Ka.

Dheeraj is very active on social media, and gets a lot of fan love. Nudge him about it, and he laughs softly, before saying, “I am enjoying every moment. It is because of them that I am here. I was in Hong Kong some time back, and I was touched by the fact that I met a female fan who was from Greece! This means our shows are reaching places,” adds Dheeraj, whose experiment­s with hair styles has also caught everyone’s attention.

“I get a lot of compliment­s. People have also compared my style with that of Elvis Presley, Johnny Bravo. I feel hair is a very important aspect of one’s appearance, and I make sure to take care of it, even in terms of the products I use. I have my personal hair stylist also and we keep on experiment­ing with my looks. I am thinking of starting an online channel to share hair care and hair styling tips with my fans,” says the actor.
