Often, guys on Grindr, PR, Instagram, and in-person keep asking me about how I look so young at 41 or that I don't look like a 41-year-old. I don't even know what that means. How is a 41-year-old supposed to look? Is there a mold? No. This is how a 41-year-old looks.

Now, I'm not a popular guy for a cute 25-year-old to interview me about this [sniggers], because it is the general mentality of people (specially us, Indians) that Popularity = Success OR Popularity = Hard Work. There are other people around my age who may have more VALUE, RESPECT, and POPULARITY than me. That does NOT mean that they're more SUCCESSFUL (and I am less successful) OR they've worked HARDER than me. Their domains are different. Probably those that benefit more number of people, but POPULARITY IS NOT SUCCESS, and that is why these Social Media Products are going to change starting 2023. More than Popularity, it is going to be about the VALUE you bring to the lives of specific people. Like small, focused Communities.
Rohit Shetty says, "You should not open the engine of a running car!" I say, "Don't over-use your car!" Use it optimally. Use it only as much as you need. That's not something that I may have done consciously in the past, but I've realized over a period of time.
More importantly. This Channel is not about Beauty or Whitening your Underarms or Crotch. So, I am NOT saying that looking young is the sign of success, OR if you're a 35-year-old Uncle who looks old it means that you're good-for-nothing. But, because we're so obsessed with Bollywood and Social Media Gym-toned Bodies, we tend to feel that having 6-pack abs or muscles is the sign of BEAUTY or FERTILITY. That is not true at all. In fact, the opposite types are, oftentimes, more fertile. FITNESS, GOOD HEALTH, and HAPPINESS are more importan than anything else.
Things I am about to share might go against what you guys might already be doing. And people think that I DO A LOT OF things to look young. The truth is that the more you run behind something, the more it goes away from you.
1. NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO MY FACE
I have NEVER done a facial. I've never been to a Spa or a Beauty Parlor to do anything to my face. Even my eyebrows are natural. My own mother still fails to believe that my eyebrows are natural. I HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING TO MY FACE.
I used to (secretly) apply 'Vicco Turmeric' (nahi cosmetic) during my teenage, but because I was very feminine during my childhood, a neighbour (uncle) used to say to me that that's used by girls to keep beard from growing 😵 So, I stopped. Then, I used 'Fair & Lovely' a lot... until 2010 or so (till 28). I stopped thereafter... just naturally.
I did nothing to my face during TikTok / REELS. That's probably why I never received Views 😂 But I don't care. How many Creators do you remember? Even if you're a fan of someone, do you remember that person's specific REELS? No! Because this is all temporary time-pass and non-sense. It's just about Money. Your focus should be to make yourself financially secure (and may be have good sex in life). That's it. Rest everything is meaningless. Views / Likes are temporary and are not the measure of your Happiness.
Cream that suits you varies from person to person, but I'm talking about doing specific Spa Treatments to my face. My skin is the gift from my mother. She was / is beautiful, and that's why I am too.
Disclaimer here: I am not detracting anyone from using any products or doing anything that you want, but just emphasizing that one doesn't need to over-do.
2. FOOD INTAKE
I've NEVER "drunk". The only things I drink are Tea, Coffee, Iced Tea, Water, and sometimes, Soft Drinks. I've NEVER DRUNK anything besides these things.
I've NEVER SMOKED cigarettes. I know that hookah is harmless, but I've never even tried it. I'm just not part of that culture.
I've NEVER EATEN NON-VEGETARIAN FOOD. I've, naturally, never felt like eating it... for a very naive reason that was always on my mind 'killing animals is bad'. Basically, I feel that Vegetarian Food keeps you FRESH. Non-vegetarian Food makes you STALE.
During my hair transplant I discovered from doctors that those who drink, smoke, or have non-veg food tend to bleed more. So, that worked in my favor. Of course, I have to do Part-2, but let's see. There are some other options too.
I also EAT LESS. Naturally. I STRICTLY eat on time. I have early dinner. That too is, sometimes, only snacks. Now, everybody's body and food choices are different, but majority of your health depends on WHAT you eat and HOW you eat it.
These Bollywood Celebrities never disclosed about their good eating habits or that 'Coke has Sugar' in the 90s, because they wouldn't be signed by those brands, if they spoke anything against them. They did that only now when the knowledge came out on the Internet, and they were pretty-much done with their careers. Yes, I know that that's not their job, but I find that very very unfair. Like a deception.
Even in the interviews today they would only say half-heartedly, "Your inner beauty reflects outside..." I really lost the respect and love that I had for the film industry when I realized this.
3. ENTERTAINMENT INTAKE
I don't know if YouTube will appreciate me saying this, but this is My Channel, and I would believe that all type of Content is treated fairly on YouTube.
My intake of entertainment is very selected, specific, and low. If I tell you the names of the Hindi movies that I've not watched (and the ones I've watched), you'll laugh at me. I've not watched most of the hit movies after 2000 - also because I got busy in my career and all, but I always made time for some selected movies - even if they may have not been hits.
That's because I am inherently CHOOSY and SELFISH 😛 I never watch Reviews before deciding whether to watch something or not. I watch it if I want to watch it.
Over-consumption of Entertainment (specially Hindi movies) can make you DULL, besides, 90s Bollywood has already destroyed my Love Life 😂
4. THE CHILD WITHIN
People consider me as a very mature, decent, well-behaved guy. Now, uncle! 😂
That image will be shattered if I show you how I behave at home. Like a 5-year-old brat!
It's not about the external display, but internal. I feel happy to wait at signals, so that I can sing my favorite Songs. I have no hurry in reaching anywhere. I always let others go.
Instagram suppresses/ed my dances (which they will pay for), but that whole experience of doing what I always wanted to do is what I thoroughly focus on and enjoy. They're waiting for me to get wrinkles before they push out my videos, but I ain't waiting for anything. That is why I have a lot of respect for YouTube. It's still not as fair as I want it to be, but at least they didn't age-discriminate me as much as Instagram. Even TikTok didn't... until they got their excel sheets 😂
I clean my own house when I'm home alone. Now, guys watch porn when they're alone, but, again, porn is something that I find very gross and disgusting. Love-making scenes are beautiful, but seeing others' uglies makes me vomit, besides, that's not a very good utilization of your Energy.
I think these are a few conscious factors from my side that keep me fresh and youthful. Everyone turns old. Everyone gets wrinkles. Everyone dies. That part is common, but my attitude towards life - that's not very commonly found.
Now, tomorrow, when I die, people will be like, "Look, he talked about good health and he died." 😂 Of course, you are also going to die one day, and so am I. However, living HEALTHY & HAPPY "today" is all that this is about.
