Hot and handsome actor Arun Mandola, who was part of the show Sankatmochan Mahabali Hanuman, has completely transformed himself and is in love with his new look. “I have changed the way I look. I had put on 10kg and my friends used to tell me, ‘Bhai, mota hogaya hai,’ which is why I decided to undergo this makeover,” says Arun, who even got a special photoshoot done by his friend Bhushan Gandhi.

The actor says that the secret to his fitness is a long and dedicated struggle. “I started all the necessary preparations. I did everything to stay fit right from working out at the gym, martial arts. I took part in outdoor games and the output is in front of you,” he says, adding, “I have few rules and regulations in my life and I never break them. I have a fixed schedule. My sleep timings are regular and I take the time to work out every day.”

While looks are important, acting skills are paramount, says Arun. “Good looks give you an advantage in this industry. But after doing my show "Sankatmochan Mahabali Hanuman", I realized without acting, your looks won't work for long. Of course, an actor should always keep changing himself according to the character,” he adds.

Ask him who the most good looking actors in Bollywood are and he says, “ Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra . I can't forget Akshay's movie, Khila?iyo? Ka Khila?i . His action scenes, round kicks, jumps were amazing. Priyanka Chopra is also very good looking, plus her action sequences in her show Quantico are phenomenal.”

Talking about his future plans, he says, “I wish I get the chance to be part of a vampire show. That would be exciting and something different.”
