The actor however is working on getting back in shape but will avoid taking supplements as family members - who are all doctors - asked him to do it the natural way. “I am now going to lose weight naturally by gymming and exercising. I have started work on my fitness and will be back in form soon. Earlier I had planned to do hardcore gymming with the help of supplements but my family members, most of whom are doctors, have asked me to stay away from anything like that. They have advised me to shed weight naturally and I am now following their advice only," shared Paras.
