Quantifying each meal, lifting lighter weights, and focussing on functional movements and callisthenics, says Shetty, has enabled him to retard the process of ageing

I cannot stop it, but my aim is to retard the ageing process,” says Suniel Shetty, whose latest outing, Dharavi Bank, is a testimony of sorts to his efforts. To play the part of a 63-year-old man in the series, Shetty, 62, had to don prosthetics to look aged; older than his actual age.
Shetty’s name has been associated with physical fitness since the onset of his career, but his command over all aspects of his professional life — films and business — appears to be more pronounced in the last few years. He admits that the success in all spheres of his life traces back to his fitness routine. “I am who I am, due to fitness, and it is because of this that I have stayed relevant even at this age, despite not acting for 10 years. The media kept me alive. While I may not be active on other social media platforms, I am active on LinkedIn, because that is a reflection of me,” says the actor, who has acquired an enormous fan following on the platform for his deftly penned posts that speak of family, films, entrepreneurship, and success.
