Super talented host Maniesh Paul is on board for ‘Da-Bangg’ with Salman Khan. And he has planning to go shirtless on stage just like the superstar! Maniesh in a statement said, "Naturally, I panicked when I got the call. I told them about my condition and they said, ‘Don’t worry, this will happen next year'."

He also said, "I was overjoyed and decided that if I have to go with Salman Sir, I have to not only be as fit as him but also build my physique in such a way that I should be able to go on stage shirtless like him!"

His trainer Pravin Nair had helped to get him back in shape, "I didn’t realise how fat I had become, because in the five months that I was wearing a sling, I hadn’t worked out. I would take 20 minutes just to wear a shirt and get into a suit! So, I was really worried,"

Maniesh told in interview. "Now, I do weight training four times and isolation and twice a week I focus on CrossFit and high-intensity interval training. As for diet, I have about six solid meals, one protein shake post workout. I take multivitamins and essential fats in the form of supplements. I drink a lot of water as my diet is on high protein and fibre. Based on my shoot dates, I arrange my intake of carbohydrates," he added.

About Salman Khan, he added, "He has a great sense of humour and is one of the finest hosts we have. The way he hosts Bigg Boss, without a teleprompter, I don’t think anybody can do it."
