Sagarika and Zaheer Khan give fitness goals to fans

Former Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan and Bollywood actress Sagarika Ghatge recently tied the knot in a grand ceremony in Mumbai. Unlike other couples who kick-off their post-wedding life with a honeymoon or by taking rest at their home, Zaheer and Sagarika have immediately hit the gym and the couple is giving fitness goals to everyone.

Both of them come from backgrounds where fitness is a real contributing factor and they don’t back off when it comes to working out. According to them, a person need not be fit just because some occasion is approaching but he needs to maintain his health to lead a better life. Zaheer believes it’s important for anyone to stay fit mentally and physically.

“Don’t just be fit for an approaching occasion, always try to be healthy. You need not be the fittest, but you should definitely pay attention to your health and the choices you make. It’s not just about looks; it’s about being fit internally too,” Zaheer said in an interview with Hindustan Times.

Zaheer is too relaxed for a mortal

Sagarika says she is quite a food lover and she needs to spend a lot more time in the gym to burn out all the unwanted things in his body. This is a contrasting opinion to that of her spouse, who believes she spends a little too much time working out. Sagarika also added that she looks up to him when it comes to maintaining proper fitness levels.

“The one thing I want him to do is come with me to the gym more regularly. Zaheer thinks I work out a lot. With him, even though he’s also a foodie, the level at which he has played and trained, even if he takes a break for two months, once he’s back to training, his body reacts within 10 days. I look up to him for all things related to fitness,” She said.

She also said that Zaheer is a little too calm and relaxed about his life when compared to any other person. She says he should get hyper on occasions to ensure he’s sane. “He needs to get a little hyper at least. He cannot be so relaxed in life! Sometimes I’m like, ‘this is an issue, you need to display a little stress,’” She added.

Family is very important to both of us

When Zaheer was asked about what attracted him towards Sagarika, he said there are a lot of similarities between each other which helped them bond well. He spoke in length about their priorities and Sagarika also expressed she loves how well-mannered and disciplined Zaheer is.

“We are very similar in terms of how we look at life. She takes time to open up to new people, so do I. She has a very simple approach to life and we have similar values. Family is very important to both of us. We love our friends the same way too. These are the things which really attracted me to her,” Said the former Indian cricketer.

“I always thought he was very nice, well-mannered, well-spoken. These things impress me in somebody. You need to talk properly to a woman and he was all that. I think more than him and me, people around us saw a match. It was a very organic process and meant to happen,” added Sagarika.
