THIS IS HOW SHAHID KAPOOR HAS KICKED OFF THE NEW YEAR — YOU ARE SURE TO BE IMPRESSED!

We’ve kicked off the new year with plenty of drama, so we won’t blame you for wanting to unwind a bit more before you get back to work! Take a tip from Shahid Kapoor, who spent the a.m. hours of January 1 “lazing with fam” and romancing the pause, while bundled up cosily in bed. Of course the dreamy Juhu resident took time out to wish his social media followers a happy new year — “Be the real deal and make it count,” he said — and followed up his words with admirable action. Instead of opting for an afternoon siesta, Shahid and his gorgeous wife Mira Rajput hopped into their shiny black Mercedes and zoomed off to their local gym.

We can’t say for sure what his New Year’s resolutions are, but staying fit must rank high on Shahid’s list. After a strenuous workout, the actor and his ladylove headed over to an organic cafe for a quick bite (check out some of our favourite new restaurants in Mumbai), before hotfooting it back to his car when a mob started to gather. Now, if healthy eating on this occasion wasn’t enough, Shahid proved his commitment to fitness by returning to the gym less than 15 hours later — this time with his brother Ishaan Khatter for company.

Giving us fitness goals (like Malaika Arora does so often) and achieving an enviable work-life balance while he’s at it, Shahid is certainly setting a good example for all of us in 2018. With a big film slated for release and another two projects in the pipeline, we have no doubt this will be another cracking year for the talented actor.
