Vishal Jethwa undergoes physical transformation for Shakti Shalini
Speaking about his approach towards fitness and preparation, Vishal said, “Achieving peak fitness is never easy. People often notice the physical change, but a lot of emotional and mental discipline goes into it. I believe in ‘no pain, no gain’ because transformation only happens when you are willing to push yourself every day, even on difficult days.”
He further added, “For me, fitness is not just about appearance. It is also about building mental strength and consistency. When you are preparing for something specific, every part of your routine matters, your workouts, diet, rest, and mindset. I have been training regularly and staying focused on the process. It has been a learning experience, and I’m looking forward to sharing more about this project soon.”
