Sunny Deol reveals simple fitness routine that keeps him action-ready even at 68; actor relishes samosas and parathas cooked in desi ghee
Even though Sunny Deol has turned 68, there is no sign of his momentum slowing down. The actor is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film 'Bantwara 1947', in which he will once again be seen in an action-packed role. This film is particularly special as his son, Karan Deol, will share the screen with him, playing his on-screen son.
Fans often wonder how Sunny manages to pull off intense action scenes at this age, especially when many actors opt for lighter roles. In a recent interview, the veteran actor opened up about the lifestyle that helps him stay fit and energetic.
'The thought of age has never crossed my mind'
For Sunny Deol, fitness begins with the right mindset. He says he has never been someone who constantly dwells on his age.
"I still feel like a young hero," he said. He added that as long as he feels healthy and active from within, there is no reason for him to stop taking on action films or major projects.
He believes this confidence keeps him motivated every day.
His day begins before sunrise
Sunny has followed the habit of waking up early for years. The actor revealed that he usually gets out of bed by 5:30 AM and starts his day with a workout.
His fitness routine includes both cardio and weight training. For him, exercise isn't just about staying in shape—it helps him stay positive, focused, and energetic throughout the day.
No strict diets, no guilt about food
Unlike many celebrities who follow rigid meal plans, Sunny has a very simple approach to food.
He admits he never cared for extreme dieting and still enjoys foods like samosas and parathas cooked in desi ghee. Instead of completely giving up the things he loves, he believes in mindful eating and staying active.
For him, fitness is about balance, not restrictions.
Health matters more than six-pack abs
Sunny also clarified that he never worked out to achieve a bodybuilder's physique or to look like someone else.
He said, "I exercise because I enjoy it and it keeps me healthy." Smiling as he reminisced about the past, he recalled how much he used to eat, adding that regular exercise has always helped him stay fit.
Still going strong
As the film Partition: 1947 gears up for release, Sunny Deol proves that age is no barrier to one's determination or goals. His fitness philosophy is simple: stay disciplined, remain active, enjoy your favorite foods in moderation, and focus on feeling good rather than looking perfect.
For fans, this is perhaps the greatest lesson to learn from an actor who has consistently made a powerful impact—both on-screen and off-screen.
