He debuted with Y-Films’ romantic comedy Luv Ka The End and followed it up with Gippi (2013). Recently, he was seen in Baar Baar Dekho. Though his career has yet to hit the high curve, there’s no denying that Taaha Shah is hot eye candy. And his fitness regime has a lot to do with that.

Unlike most, Taaha finds gyms claustrophobic. “The mere thought of using equipment, which has been used by others, is sort of repulsive to me. Then, I also find it difficult to locate a gym when travelling,” he says. “It’s best to do freehand exercises, which make use of the body mass and also keep you independent of machines,” he asserts.

His day begins with exercise. He warms up by doing a lot of jumps. He believes the main fitness principle is to make the knees stronger. He advises against overachieving targets and cautions that newbies shouldn’t start with 100 jumps on the first day. “You should start with five jumps. A week later, you can proceed to 10. Patience is important during a workout and achieving fitness targets,” he states.
