Khatron Ke Khiladi 14's crew has reached a new location for the shoot of the show. This season will be filmed in Romania. The line-up of contestants has been quite interesting and the shoot of the show has begun. One of the promising contestants of the season is Imlie fame, Gashmeer Mahajani.

Gashmeer Mahajani is inspired by Akshay Kumar

Much like Akshay Kumar, Gashmeer is incredibly particular about his healthcare routine. He believes that a robust lifestyle is the cornerstone of sustained success and high energy levels required for his demanding roles.

Ahead of his journey in Khatron Ke Khiladi 14, Mahajani mentioned that he is inspired by Kumar and said, "I look up to the OG Khiladi of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar."

Similarities between Gashmeer Mahajani and Akshay Kumar

One of the most striking aspects of Gashmeer's routine is his early start to the day. He wakes up daily at 4 AM to kickstart his day, embracing the tranquility of the early morning hours. This discipline not only gives him a head start but also allows him to incorporate a variety of healthy habits into his daily schedule.

Talking about the same, the Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10 contestant shared, “I believe that how you start your day sets the tone for the rest of it. I wake up every day at 4 am. Waking up early gives me the time to focus on my physical and mental well-being before the hustle of the day begins."

He added, "My fitness regime includes a mix of high-intensity workouts, yoga, and meditation, which help me maintain this agility and mental clarity. My diet is meticulously planned to ensure I get all the necessary nutrients while avoiding unhealthy temptations. And being disciplined is the key to everything!”

After wooing the regional cinema with his powerful performances, Gashmeer entered the mainstream Hindi GEC with the Star Plus show Imlie. He played the character of a fierce journalist Aditya Kumar Tripathi. Mahajani grabbed headlines when he decided to quit the show ahead of his contract renewal. However, he stayed back until the makers found a track to mark his exit. 

Post Imlie, the actor participated in Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 10 and also featured in the Hindi version of The Vampire Diaries named Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal wherein he reprised the role similar to Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) from the original series.
