Pulkit Samrat on tough prep

Bollywood actor Pulkit Samrat is stepping into uncharted territory with his upcoming series 

Glory, trading his familiar romantic, boy-next-door persona for a physically demanding role set in the world of boxing.

The actor opened up about the rigorous preparation that went into portraying a boxer, admitting that he initially underestimated the challenge.

“Well, when I started training, I thought, okay, I’m already fit, so I don’t have to work so hard for boxing, to look like a boxer. But, as soon as I started training, I realised mai bohot paani me hu,” Samrat told ANI.

Highlighting the intensity of his routine, he added, “It is not possible to look like an athlete without training like an athlete. So, I literally had to train like a boxer. I had to learn all the details of boxing.”

Pulkit Samrat revealed that his training schedule spanned several hours daily. “I used to train for at least 5-6 hours a day, which included boxing for 2 hours, strength training 

for 1-1.5 hours, and physiotherapy, just to make sure that I can go for training again the next day, so that I don't have too much strain on my body.”
