Mumbai, May 30 (IANS): Actor Jibraan Khan, who is awaiting the release of his upcoming film ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’, has shared how he’s battling the intense heatwave gripping the entire country.
With the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issuing an orange alert and temperatures soaring, several parts of India are experiencing unusual heat. Recently, Delhi's Mungeshpur automatic weather station reported 52.9 degrees Celsius.
In Mumbai, the issue is compounded by intense humidity, given its coastal location.
Talking about how he is battling the unusual weather, Jibraan told IANS: "To cope with the terrible heat, I am making sure to drink plenty of water and stay in the shade whenever possible. To keep myself cool, I take cool showers to lower my body temperature."
Despite the unusual weather, the actor is continuing his workouts but has adjusted his schedule. He has switched his fitness training to the cooler hours of the day.
Jibraan told IANS: “I exercise early in the morning or late in the evening when it’s cooler, and opt for indoor activities to avoid the peak heat."
Global warming is one of the most tragic realities facing our planet.
“This heatwave is a stark reminder of its impact, and while it's easy to comment from the comfort of our air-conditioned homes, my heart goes out to those who can't afford such luxuries. Despite the challenges, life goes on, and we must continue working to earn our livelihood. Let's remember to stay cool and hydrated, and consider leaving a bowl of water outside for the birds and animals," he added.
