Mumbai: At a time when actors are giving maximum attention to fitness, Varun Dhawan says he idolizes superstar Akshay Kumar. “I think there was a phase of six and eight pack abs but now it is back to a phase where health is important. Look at Akshay Kumar, he has been fit for so many years despite injuries,” Varun told reporters here at an event of his upcoming film “Dishoom”.
Varun says he wishes to be as fit as Akshay when he grows old. “Akshay has tremendous fitness level. I wish when I grow that old if I can be that fit then it will be great.” His “Dishoom” co-star John Abraham was also present at the event, where the duo shared some fitness tips.
“One should dedicate at least an hour to fitness, be it Yoga or anything else. Working out shouldn’t tire you, it should rejuvenate you. One needs to be fit and flexible,” he said. PTI
