Known for his boy-next-door looks that made him a perfect fit for rom-coms like Ishq Vishk Rebound and Mismatched, Rohit Saraf has surprised his fans with a new buffed-up physique.

Apart from him putting in the works, credit also goes to his trainer, Tejas Lalwani, for this drool-worthy transformation. The ACSM [American College of Sports Medicine] certified personal trainer and INFS [Institute of Nutrition and Fitness Sciences] nutritionist is a well-known name in the industry having worked with the likes of Hrithik Roshan and Vicky Kaushal.

In Saraf, he found, “a canvas I could paint from scratch.” For Saraf, he designed a programme that depended heavily on structured diet plan working on a targeted muscle group and recovery. In this candid conversation, he breaks down Saraf’s training. Excerpts:

Tell us about working with Rohit Saraf, how did it begin?

Rohit came to me as a dream project. I had always wanted to train someone who was a clean slate—someone who had never trained seriously under proper guidance. A canvas I could paint from scratch while avoiding common errors. At the end of January 2024, we had an initial assessment session, and by February 1st, we officially began our journey.
