Workout blues

Published January 15, 2017

Actors work hard to stay in shape, sometimes so hard that working out becomes a painful exercise.

Bollywood young gun Aditya Roy Kapoor is known for putting his heart and soul into anything he does. Recently, during a workout session, he tried to pull off a difficult routine and pulled his back muscle. The pain was so excruciating that he was rushed to a nearby hospital. The doctors advised him to to take some days of complete rest. But the restless soul that he is, he was back on his toes giving two hoots about his back.

Very bad, Aditya RK. Stop treating your doctors like your heroines and take them seriously.
