Summary
- Cyrus Broacha dismisses cardio, says it will make Indian men "uglier"
- Recommends strength training and diet as the key to staying fit
- Praises Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Akshay Kumar for their fitness regimes

In a recent interview, comedian and podcaster Cyrus Broacha shared his unconventional views on fitness for Indian men. Broacha, best known for his satirical shows like 'The Week That Wasn't' and 'Big Boss OTT 2', firmly believes that Indian men should steer clear of cardio, as it will only make them "uglier."
According to Broacha, the key to staying fit as one gets older is to focus on strength training and maintaining a healthy diet, rather than relying on cardio exercises. He argues that the "blueprint" of Indian men's bodies is such that cardio will only lead to skinny limbs and an inability to lose belly fat. Instead, Broacha advocates for a strength-based approach, which he believes is the true path to fitness.
While Broacha himself does not have a personal trainer, he had high praise for Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, who he says are "very careful with their diet" as they age. He also commended Akshay Kumar's lean and disciplined physique, calling the actor "damn good" in terms of his fitness.
