Hyderabad: Integrative Lifestyle Expert Luke Coutinho was in Hyderabad to catch up with Tollywood Superstar Mahesh Babu, who consults him for fitness and nutrition.
We asked him to reveal Mahesh's fitness secret and what makes him stay the same through the years and this is what we learnt. Here's what Luke said about Mahesh.
Tell us about your collaboration with Mahesh Babu.
We've been with him for a while now. It’s been a fantastic journey. He's a very disciplined person, very passionate about what he wants. What I love is his intention to do everything naturally—put in hard work and discipline, even if it's going to be more because you want to be natural. So, our job is to look after his lifestyle, health, nutrition, work with his team, his trainers to make sure that he's always safe, his body's looked after, and he has what it needs for him to be successful, at a health level and a body level.
What changes have you seen in him?
To be quite honest, he came to us very, very disciplined and already very fit. But we can always get better in terms of how can I look after my liver, look after my kidney? How do I increase energy when I'm sleep deprived? So we're constantly talking. In fact, I met him yesterday. We both travel a lot, so we've been unable to meet. So when I was here, I messaged him. He said, ‘I'm on set’. And between shots, he would come and talk to me. So we finished a whole conversation over an hour like that. But the whole point is the discussions are always about what can we do next? How can we make this better? So it's a very exciting journey with him.
