I feel that people who think it's okay to barely eat are wrong. There has to be a good balance of diet, food, and workout for your body to stay in good shape, always!
— Rithvik Dhanjani
I follow an extremely strict diet counting my calorie intake, keeping in mind a very balanced ratio of proteins, carbs, and fats.

Be it 'Jhalak,' 'Dance India Dance' or 'Nach Baliye,' I give all the credit to Ekta Kapoor as, just because of her, I am here. She has an eye to identify the real talent. Instead, I would say she knows how to make things work for her. She is not simply called the queen of Indian Television: she is the tigress of TV, I would say.
Our fans wanted us to be together way before we even realised that we had feelings for each other. Our fans helped us win a dance reality show, and so we decided to share our love with those who have made us who we are.
I choose my work based on what is offered to me. If I see if my role can change the way the show will shape up, I come on board. If me being there in a show will make no difference, then I won't bother being part of it. I am inclined to do things that I haven't done before.
In a fantasy show, you can't be random with creative ideas. So that is a drawback for our industry. Since it is daily, with fantasy shows, you need to stick to the script. If you don't, it will become saas-bahu show.
Popularity matters a lot, as at the end of the day, the love of your audiences can make you win.

As a person, I am not really someone who would intervene and tell you to do the right thing.
I like to learn from everyone I perform with. I have learnt a lot from Paritosh Tripathi, my co-anchor on 'Super Dancer,' and also my good friend Ravi Dubey.
My name is not really a common one, but people always tend to mix it up, which is quite embarrassing! As there have been incidents where I would be all ready to go on stage for my performance, and the host would say, 'Ladies and gentlemen please welcome Mr Rithik.' And, I would have to remind them that it isn't Rithik but Rithvik!
Dancing has always helped in keeping my fitness levels high. When I was in school and college, I used to dance a lot. It helped me stay healthy.
Even when I was in Dubai, I used to host small birthday parties, events, and lots more to make money of my own to fulfil my wish to become an actor. I didn't take any money from my parents to fulfil my dream.

The feeling of actually being with someone you love at that moment is completely different than a video afterwards.
I never chose something just for the money.
If it is a fantasy fiction, and you want to portray a story of a vampire, you have to keep the essence of the story same. But if you have to have five episodes a week, where do we get so much content from?
I'm excited to be part of the world's biggest dance show. What attracted me towards the show, apart from its global popularity, was the format of street versus stage.
I personally adore the festival of Dussehra, as its a celebration of our culture and mythological legacy. I celebrate, almost, all my festivals with Life OK, be it Holi or Diwali or Dussehra. It's like a festive home for me.
'I Can Do That' has been the most challenging show of my life, and the result has been overwhelming. It is good to know I will be in the history as the first winner of the season of the show.
I had this one dear friend in college who was a chain smoker. His smoking habits led him to major health problems. That's the time I remember telling him to let go. And after a point, he did listen to me and gave up smoking.
I am a very bad cook.
I believe you can make your better half feel special on any given day and turn it in Valentine's Day.
There are some disheartening days where I don't get to eat my favourite sweets, but my diet has to be followed.
I would not really be a part of something that doesn't interest me.
I'd like to be part of out-of-the-box films like 'Shahid.' I see myself being part of realistic cinema.
I bought a trench coat from Dubai worth 495 dirham.
There are many dreams which I never wanna wake up from. Actually, I don't like waking up, full stop. So no matter what the dream is, I just don't wanna wake up and get out of bed.

It was fun to dance in heels, and personally, I love dancing.
I'm extremely delighted to host the special show 'Dussehra - Jeet Sachchai Kee', which will celebrate the spirit of good over evil. The show will be filled with a heavy dose of entertainment as renowned celebrities from across popular television shows will be joining in the celebrations and saluting the spirit of righteousness.
I share my personal experiences of what is right according to me in a particular situation.
If you want to evolve and reinvent yourself, you will need to observe people and explore a lot.
Be it 'Dare 2 Dance,' 'Man vs. Job,' or 'I Can Do That,' I have always taken up projects that is innovative. I want to try out different things, as that gets me going.
