When other kids used to watch cricket, RJ Anmol used to watch Kabaddi, Kushti, Boxing and other sports.

He said, "I know what you call ‘akhade ki mitti banana’. Workouts have been a part of my life from school. I always believed that it is important to stay fit, since I was in 9th or 10th class. Also due to my father's training, I had an holistic approach towards fitness."

He added, "Fitness is not just about gymming. It is also about eating the right food, running for stamina, sleep for recovery, all of this is equally important. It is about how if you toil and sweat, your body gets better. I love that dialogue from Dangal, 'Mitti se body banti hai'."
