At 54,Anil is very careful about his eating habits.
Says the frugal eater, `I never touch the samosas. But I love the upper-crust.I don't have the filling.People say I look like a samosa without the filling.I've worked to stay slim.I've never been a red-meat eater. I eat frugally and carefully.But I do indulge myself. There's nothing I haven't done in my life.I can gorge on forbidden food any time.But I admit I make a lot of culinary sacrifices. One has to give up some pleasures to achieve what one wants to.`
Anil has never shied away from hard work. `It seems like I've been working all my life. And that's the way I like it. I've always gone by instinct.For example I was offered television in the West, with big money. But I seriously wasn't tempted.Come to think of it ,I've always wondered why others get big money while I've to work my ass off to make a decent living!Nothing has come easy to me.I've slogged for everything I've got.And that's the way I want it.`
Anil welcomed the struggle that comes with success. `I never wanted anything to come easily to me. It's not hard work. It's working to my optimum capacity.When I see people like Tom Cruise and Amitabh Bachchan Saab I feel I don't work hard at all.When I see Salman Khan and how hard he works on his body I want to work harder on my body.Look at how hard Hrithik and Ranbir work.The strength of the mind and body is illimitable.We are never able to achieve the optimum.`
Anil now wants to work towards a six-pack physique. `I never had a paunch. But regrettably I never had a six-pack either. Hopefully with my son's help I'll get there too. In the meanwhile I've lost a lot more weight recently for 24. I am more agile and flexible and leaner.I've lost 6 Kilos.`
