Chetan Hansraj takes special martial arts training for TV show

New Delhi: Actor Chetan Hansraj has been undergoing a special mixed martial arts programme to help him gain the stamina for his role of Parvatak Malayketu in historical drama "Chandra Nandini".

In the Star Plus show, Chetan's character will be seen pitted against Chandragupt Maurya (played by Rajat Tokas) as the two don't get along. "I prefer to be fit as a fiddle at all times and really enjoy anything to do with my body; be it workout or any activity that keeps you going and tests your energy. Mixed martial art (MMA) was out of choice since I wanted to try something new apart from the mundane workout regime that we follow regularly," Chetan said in a statement. He added: "Learning MMA for three months was a lot of fun and I can definitely see the difference in my body and the muscles."
