Vijender Singh

I have never thought of a full-fledged career in Bollywood because boxing has never left my mind. But you never know.

I train for around 3-4 hours everyday. It can go up to 6-7 hours when a competition is approaching.

I always try to see the good in everything, and that gives me strength. Even when I lost in the London Olympics quarterfinals, I said to myself, 'Don't lose heart, God has his own plans.' Actually, life just goes on; you have to accept whatever challenge you face and become stronger.

I knew very little or nothing about the Olympics. Having qualified was itself a big achievement for me, and then being there was quite overwhelming. Although I lost in the opening round, but the fact that I fought well was enough for me to take away from Athens.

I love music, and can dance on the desi beats. Punjabi music is my favourite. I listen to artists like Honey Singh. I love his music. I also love watching Bollywood films.

I love going to the spa; it rejuvenates me and leaves me happy.

I've grown up with Bollywood, and I continue to enjoy it. But boxing remains my passion.

I'm a big fan of the 'Rocky' series. Given the chance, I'd love to meet Sylvester Stallone. But apart from boxing, I'm an ardent fan of tennis and football.

Achievements are precious and timeless, just like the precious metal platinum. And what better way to celebrate milestones in your life than with precious platinum.

Scrutiny has never scared me because I have had detractors all my life.

I believe, whatever God does, he does it for the good. I always try to look at life like that.

I have always liked to get my pictures taken, and I like taking care of my looks. But, I am not one to use beauty products and treatments.
