Mumbai, Jan 16 (IANS): A set acts as a second home for actors -- but for actor Rahul Sharma, who is currently seen in TV show “Ek Rishta Aisa Bhi”, the serial's set has become a gym.

Hectic shooting schedules are part and parcel of a daily show. Hence, Rahul was missing out on his health and fitness regime. Taking this into consideration, the show's makers have arranged for some gym equipment for him.

“The channel and the production house have organised a mobile gym section in his make-up room for the actor, who couldn't be regular at the gym due to his busy shooting schedule,” said a source.

"The actor now hits the 'gym' whenever he gets time in the middle of shooting," the source added.

The show is aired on Pal channel.
