Mohammad Nazim swears by his fitness routine, never missing it even when he’s shooting or travelling. “Working out has become a part of my routine now. My day is not complete without going to the gym. If I miss it even for a day, I feel odd. Of course, there are different workout regimes that I follow, so some days are more strenuous than others,” says the actor, best known for his role of Ahem Modi in Saath Nibhana Saathiya.

Fit as he is already, Nazim is now working on bulking up. His next show is based on the life of the legendary wrestler, The Great Gama. Nazim reportedly plays the brother of Gama (played by Sohail Khan) and his character is also a wrestler. The actor has been sharing photos of his new look and, going by the fan comments, his bigger physique has impressed many.

It feels great when fans say good things about the way I look now. I hope I’m being able to inspire them to stay fit and healthy. Just working out won’t get you anywhere, if you’re not eating right

Nazim, who’s spending time with his family in Malerkotla, Punjab, also plans to join an akhada, as this would help him with the character portrayal and workout routine.

About the compliment­s from his fans, Nazim says, “It feels great when fans say good things about the way I look now. I hope I’m being able to inspire them to stay fit and healthy. Just working out won’t get you anywhere, if you’re not eating right.”

He recommends a healthy diet and adds, “Exercise and a strict diet doesn’t mean you can never eat what you want to. There are ways to modify those things into healthy dishes. And, of course, there are cheat days.”
