Anant Ambani's ex-fitness trainer, Vinod Channa, was the one who guided, helped the youngest millionaire to reduce 108 kg in only 18 months back in 2016. Vinod not only assisted Anant to lose weight but also has assisted Nita, Isha in their fitness journey. However, do you know that it was Abhishek Bachchan's cousin who first spotted Vinod and then, as destiny had it's way, he went ahead to train the Ambani's. The ex-fitness expert of Anant, Vinod, revealed his journey of struggles from being a very thin boy, to becoming a professional body builder and then training an array of stars like John Abraham, Riteish Deshmukh, Ananya Birla, the Ambanis.
Celebrity top fitness trainer, Vinod, in an exclusive interview with BollywoodShaadis, shared that before the Ambani family, he started with bodybuilding. Vinod won many championships, gold medals. From being a very thin guy to becoming a professional bodybuilder of the country, Vinod, with his hard work and knowledge he started training in the town area from Prabhadevi to Dadar. He said that they were unable to pay a large amount as fitness awareness was not there, and shared how only 2% of people are into fitness. Not even 200 people go for workouts. He then shifted to Bandra as the town people did not want to give much money. His luck changed there when, while training, guiding people, and acquiring clients, he was spotted by Abhishek's cousin. Vinod said:
"Somebody saw me training the people invited me to Abhishek Bachchan's The Unforgettable Tour. He (Abhishek) wanted a trainer. His cousin saw me in the gym and approached me and wanted somebody who is good. Ananya Birla then called me. John Abraham's Ritesh's body transformation worked, and from there Nita mam came to know, and she wanted somebody for Isha Ambani.
The Ambanis were already impressed by Vinod's fitness knowledge, as he had received the best trainer award in the country. Apart from the Ambani's John Abraham, Vinod has guided Shilpa Shetty, Ayushmann Khurrana, Harshvardhan Rane to name a few. He revealed that when he had started in those days, there was a lot of myth about fitness, like exercise nai karneka. Vinod started his fitness journey as he was very thin since childhood till graduation. Everyone in his family used to taunt him just like his friends, colleagues and parents. They used to call him names like 'sukda', 'patla'. Anant's ex-coach, Vinod, then exclusively shared how a workout could transform you irrespective of your skin colour and how you looked. In his words:
"Overall personality kharab hoh jati hai. Agar personality develop karni hai sabse important hai physique. Whatever your colour or structure is, you can change it with your own hand. I think with my hard work first 3 years, I started with a small gym. You should start with the right guidance. Aapko 10 saal mei joh result aane wala hai woh 1 saalmei dikh jaega. Abhi join karunga khud karunga phir personal trainer join karunga. That is the biggest joke. Ek mahine ke liye jate hai back acheness, muscle wear and tear hota hai."
Where there is a will, there is a way. If Anant Ambani with Vinod Channa's guidance, could shed it off, anyone could do the same. All it needs is consistency and perseverance.
What do you think of Abhishek Bachchan's cousin spotting Vinod Channa, who was then hired by the Ambani's for fitness guidance?
