Karan Tacker on the ‘social media generation’ using artificial means for fitness: They are desperate
Karan Tacker criticized the growing trend of using substances for fitness, saying it harms natural potential and is driven by social media pressure.
While many may believe that it’s peer pressure that leads them to it, Karan Tacker disagrees. “Pressure kabhi banta nahi hai, pressure log le lete hain. I am an actor, and I have the pressure of my profession.
Karan Tacker emphasized that body-building isn’t necessary for acting, as roles require looking “regular” and not focusing on physical appearance.
For the actor, working out is more a “mental game than a physical game”. “Going to the gym helps me achieve my mindset on a daily basis to attack life and its challenges. My body looking good is a side effect of exercising, that’s not the only agenda. The idea has always been that you want to achieve a fit mind and a fit body. That fit body doesn’t necessarily need to have like abs or have a chest or arms to it. You could be doing Yoga or running every day, and you could be extremely fit. You don’t need to look muscular to look fit,” he says.
Karan Tacker balances fitness with everyday life, focusing on sustainable diet choices and regular exercise for long-term health.
So, just enjoy fitness and wait for things to turn around over a period of time. I see people who come to the gym and unki shaklon pe likha hota hai ky kyun aa gaye hum yahaan. Every fitness journey doesn’t need to start inside a gym. You have to find what works for you and it’s got to be an enjoyable experience.”
