These days, actors are looking for newer and healthier options to stay fit and the lead actor of Star Plus’s upcoming mythological drama Namah-Anant mitrata ki maha gatha, Vikkas Manaktala has taken a liking for popular Martial art sport, Kung Fu and has been working very hard to stay healthy and fit.

Vikkas Manaktala said, “I start my day at 5 AM with my martial arts class which pumps me up with a rush of energy. I have been learning various striking and grappling techniques, adding to my overall strength training. Moreover, Kung Fu is a major stress-buster for me and all my tensions and tiredness are taken care of when I am practicing it. Furthermore, It has helped me a lot to reduce around 7-8 inches for my upcoming show Namah, where I am playing the role of lord Shiva. It is my new-found love and I am looking forward to acing the form and enhancing my physique.”_
