Exclusive- Kumkum Bhagya's Namik Paul recalls fond memories on Father's Day: He shaped my mindset far more than he’ll ever realise

Namik Paul, who essays the role of Shivansh in Kumkum Bhagya got candid about celebrating Father's Day and also spoke about his bond with his father and their fond memories together.Namik said, “Father’s Day, to me, is about honouring the strength that doesn’t seek applause.

My father has always led by example—not through lectures, but through the way he lives his life with integrity, patience, and grace under pressure.

As a kid, I would watch him navigate setbacks without bitterness, always with grace and purpose—and now, as an adult, I realise how powerful that example was. He shaped my mindset far more than he’ll ever realise. Whether I’m facing rejection or success, his influence reminds me to stay rooted.

That’s his gift to me—resilience that runs deep. This Father’s Day, I salute him and every father who shows up without fuss, every single day.”Earlier, while sharing about his fitness and health goal, "For me, health and fitness have always been non-negotiable. It’s never just been about looking a certain way—it’s about feeling strong, staying energized, and maintaining control over both my mind and body. On the sets of Kumkum Bhagya, I find small windows between scenes to do a few push-ups, jumping jacks, or just take a walk to keep my blood flowing."

He further added, "I make it a point to carry healthy snacks, stay well-hydrated, and be mindful of what I eat throughout the day. That said, I believe in balance, so I do indulge in a cheat meal now and then. It’s all about enjoying the little things without compromising the bigger picture. On the days I am not shooting, I go harder in the gym—my workouts are a mix of strength training, muscle conditioning, and cardio. At the end of the day, fitness is not a phase or a checklist item—it’s what keeps me grounded, centred, and ready to give my best.
