Naveen Pandita who portrays the character of Ashwin Patel in Pushpa Impossible said, “For me, fitness is all about balance. I make it a point to lift weights every alternate day, and on days I can’t, I ensure I walk at least 8,000 steps to stay active. I love food, but I believe in mindful eating and maintaining discipline. Fitness isn’t just about physical health—it’s also about mental peace and stability, which I “Work consciously on every day.”

 Arav Chowdharry, who portrays the character Kesari in Veer Hanuman, said, “Discipline is the foundation of maintaining fitness, especially in an industry where erratic schedules and long hours can take a toll on the body. I make a conscious effort to eat mindfully, choosing nutritious foods that fuel my energy rather than just indulging in cravings. Staying hydrated is equally important, as it keeps me refreshed and helps maintain overall well-being. Along with physical health, I prioritize getting enough rest because recovery is just as crucial as exercise. For me, fitness is not just about appearance—it’s about feeling strong, both mentally and physically, so I can give my best every day.

 Priyamvada Kant, who portrays the character of Sharda in Tenali Rama, said, “Fitness is more than just a routine—it’s a way of life. Even on the busiest days, a small effort counts; whether it’s a quick workout, a stretch, or a walk, every step adds up. It’s not just about physical strength but also about mindfulness—the mind-body connection is key, as a calm mind fuels a healthy body. I love keeping things exciting with creative workouts, from dancing and yoga to an outdoor run—because when fitness is fun, it keeps me motivated. For me, health is about balance—nourishing the body, resting well, and ensuring I feel my best every day, both on and off the screen.”

 Aditya Redij, who plays the role of Krishnadevaraya in Tenali Rama, said, “For me, fitness isn’t just about the gym—it’s about feeling good inside and out. Discipline and consistency have shaped my journey, even on days when motivation was low. I believe in balancing workouts with creative movement—be it dance, hiking, or just an active lifestyle. Mental fitness is equally important, and a mindful walk or deep breathing can reset everything. At the end of the day, it’s all about balance—good sleep, mindful eating, and knowing when to re

In an exceptional achievement, Mumbai-based high school robotics team Sigma 9692 has won the prestigious Engineering Inspiration Award at the FIRST Robotics Midwestern Regional Championship held in Chicago, USA. With this remarkable victory, Team Sigma has qualified to represent India at the FIRST World Championship in Houston from April 16–19, 2025.

Remarkably, this is only Team Sigma’s second year participating, a feat rarely accomplished by veteran teams globally. The team comprises 27 dedicated students, including 25 from 13 different schools in Mumbai, and two students working remotely from Indore and Delhi.

This year’s robotics challenge, “Reefscape,” tasked students with designing robots to place coral pieces at heights reaching 7 feet. Team Sigma’s robot, affectionately named “Spongebot,” excelled by ranking first in coral placement at the highest level and third in autonomous coding consistency. The robot features an innovative four-wheel swerve drive system, achieving speeds of 7 meters/second, and boasts an elevator mechanism that reaches 8 feet in just 0.5 seconds.

Beyond competition, Team Sigma has made a significant social impact, introducing robotics and coding to over 3,000 underserved students across Mumbai in two years. The team successfully raised ₹20 lakh from Indian corporates, setting up robotics labs in 10 underserved schools. Their outreach gained recognition from Maharashtra’s Skill Development Ministry, leading them to conduct a webinar on coding for 50,000 ITI students state-wide. Impressed by their initiative, Maharashtra’s Chief Minister personally congratulated the team.

Their impactful efforts have attracted sponsorship from Adipro, a Hong Kong-based chemical MNC. Team Sigma is mentored by RFL Academy and their talented coaches – Mr. Virendra, Mr. Atul and Mr. Sunil, led by RFL’s cofounder and CEO, Ashwin Shah, who recently received the esteemed Woodie Flowers Finalist Award in the US for outstanding mentorship in robotics education.

“We’re immensely proud of this achievement. It shows Indian students can lead globally in robotics,” said Ashwin Shah. Team vice-captain Arav Arzare added, “Winning this award motivates us further to spread robotics education to every corner of India.”

Team Sigma now prepares to compete against top international teams at the FIRST World Championship in Houston, representing India on a global stage and inspiring the next generation of young innovators.
