Once an aspiring actor sharing screen space with Shah Rukh Khan, he is now the fitness guru sculpting some of Bollywood's most impressive transformations. Shivohaam, a name whispered with reverence in Bollywood circles, has become synonymous with dedication, discipline, and dramatic physical metamorphoses.
Shivohaam's journey began long before he started training celebrities. Sources suggest he initially came to Mumbai in 1998 with acting aspirations. While details of his early acting career remain scarce, his path took a decisive turn towards fitness. He is now celebrated as India's CrossFit pioneer, introducing a demanding fitness regime to the country and transforming the physiques of numerous Bollywood stars.
His client list reads like a who's who of Bollywood, including Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Ranbir Kapoor. Each actor's transformation under Shivohaam's guidance is a testament to his tailored approach and commitment to holistic fitness.
Most recently, Shivohaam's work with Ranbir Kapoor has been making headlines. Kapoor's striking physical overhaul for the film Animal, where he transitioned from a lean frame to a muscular build, has been widely discussed. Shivohaam emphasizes that Kapoor's transformations are always driven by the specific requirements of a role. "Ranbir Kapoor doesn't like to look like that [a beast] all the time," Shivohaam noted, emphasizing that Kapoor prefers a more grounded lifestyle off-screen, focusing on his roles as a father, husband, and son. According to Shivohaam, Kapoor’s dedication to his roles is reflected in his punctuality and discipline.
Shivohaam's approach extends beyond physical training, with emphasis on mental discipline. He highlighted Kapoor's unwavering commitment to schedules, even setting up a small gym on set to train during lunch breaks. He recalls that even with a 7 a.m. shift, Kapoor would make time to train for at least half an hour.
His experience extends to working with Aamir Khan for Laal Singh Chaddha, where training sessions commenced as early as 3 a.m. to accommodate the actor's extensive makeup schedule. According to sources, he also maintains positive relationships with other prominent stars like Ram Charan, Jacqueline Fernandez. He notes that Amitabh Bachchan, even at his age, exemplifies punctuality, showcasing a shared professional ethic among top performers.
While Shivohaam acknowledges the importance of intense workouts, he underscores the significance of consistency and proper nutrition. He advocates for sustainable methods over quick fixes, prioritizing long-term well-being. According to sources, even short, structured exercise sessions can improve cardiovascular health, strength, and mobility.
From sharing screen space with SRK to becoming the force behind some of Bollywood's most talked-about transformations, Shivohaam's journey is a testament to his adaptability, dedication, and holistic approach to fitness.
