While talking to PTI, Suniel Shetty too spoke about fitness and revealed how his approach and attitude towards fitness have changed. He said, "It is very encouraging when people talk about my fitness in a good way. But for me now fitness is more like a scientific thing earlier it was just like doing it for films. Now it is about maintaining good health. I want to stay fit for my family. It is necessary to have a healthy lifestyle."

He believes a good physique also makes one confident and disciplined. "When you are fit and beautiful you are appreciated, you become more confident. In this industry, one has to be strong mentally than just physically."
