From F.A.L.T.U to Lust Stories, this actor's journey has been interesting and there's no sign of him slowing down either. Rather, Angad Bedi has taken up a new challenge: pursuing a professional career in sprinting. Recently, he won a silver medal in a state level 400 m sprinting tournament in Mumbai, competing in the 31-40 years' category. He finished the race in just 66 seconds.
A determined Angad, who will be next seen in R Balki's sports drama film titled Ghoomer, is now gearing up to represent India at a sprint tournament in the UK. In an exclusive interview with MW, Angad talks about his fitness journey and the passion that drives him forward.
How has your perspective on your body and physical fitness evolved since you started preparing for the sprint tournament?
Preparing for the sprint tournament has transformed my perspective on body and fitness. I now understand my internal cues and know when I'm at my best. Sleep, rhythm, and mindset play crucial roles. I feel alive, connected, and present while sprinting. It's a beautiful experience.
How do you strike a balance between maintaining a fit body and ensuring overall well-being?
As an actor and athlete, I maintain a fit body by making fitness a lifestyle. I've been training since I was 13, thanks to my father (former Indian cricket captain Bishan Singh Bedi), who was my guru. Alongside cricket, I pursued table tennis and swimming, too. Though not trained for track and field, I admired the explosive energy of the athletes. To balance it all, I eat clean and prioritise sleep, but challenging shooting schedules sometimes affect my rest.
