Akshay Kumar Is The Fittest Actor: Bollywood Actor Suniel Shetty

Bollywood Actor Sunil Shetty who is counted among stars with the fittiest and chisled bodies, thinks that Akshay Kumar is byfar the fittest actor in Bollywood.

“Akshay has the fittest body in Bollywood, and all these years we have seen him getting better day by day,” Suneil Shetty told IANS.

“He is very flexible, lean and fit and to maintain this level of fitness he has worked out with dedication and discipline over the years,” said Suniel, who was in the capital to launch a gym.

Suniel, who is currently working with Akshay in “De Dana Dan”, praised Akshay saying,

“I know so many actors who claim that they do their stunts themselves, but the scenario is completely opposite. To know the reality, you should check with stunt masters. That’s why I believe fitness just doesn’t come with appearance, it is something that is inside you,” Suniel said.

Suniel also said that it is a good trend to see stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan displaying their six-pack-abs and eight-pack-abs for “Om Shanti Om” and “Ghajini” respectively but he thinks they should maintain that physique.

“Body-building is not a difficult task; what in fact is tough is to maintain that sculpted body. It is really a good sign that actors are giving due attention to their fitness levels, but the most important thing is to see how long they can sustain that look,” the actor said.

“The other good thing that has come out of this whole eight-pack-abs promotion is that people now want to achieve a certain level of fitness,” Suniel said.

But Suniel has a word of caution for people who want to acquire eight-pack-abs.

“Fitness necessarily does not mean achieving eight-pack-abs, it requires lot of dedication, focus and good eating habits - all this can help you in getting a perfect body. But one should not go in for shortcuts like steroids because it can be harmful in the long run,” Suniel added.
