Most of us would do anything to skip showering on a cold winter morning. But then, Vidyut Jammwal isn’t like most of us. Apart from being one of the best martial artists in the world, the man is one seriously tough guy, who regularly goes to all extremes to prove just how seriously he takes fitness.

Well, he did something similar very recently. Where a normal human being would simply run towards a warm fireplace and hide under a comforter when they see a semi-frozen pond, Vidyut very casually took a dip in one.

The actor posted a video of his most recent experiment from Gulmarg, where temperatures have dipped below zero degrees. 

In the video, he is seen standing in a thermal jumpsuit and boots, surrounded by snow. He undresses himself and walks very casually towards the pond and takes a dip. Not just that, he actually sits in the pond for some time.

What’s even nerve-wracking is the fact that Vidyut does all of this without one single frown on his forehead, as if it was just another regular day at work for him.

Taking a cold compress or icy cold showers is a great way to recover from an injury, and most ailments, but this is taking things too far. This is something only a true adventurer would even dare to do.

Vidyut’s experiment is a part of a fitness series he has started called “I Train Like Vidyut Jammwal,” wherein he tries to explain that all the lethargy and procrastination that people have about hitting their fitness goals, all of them come from the mind and that it is actually very easy to overcome these sort of challenges.

While his fans surely did appreciate his latest video, many of them suggested that if the powers that rule Indian TV ever decide to go for a remake of Bear Grylls’ Man Vs Wild in India, Vidyut would be the perfect host for the show.

And you know what, they’re probably right. Or, if Bear Grylls is looking to retire, Vidyut would be the best choice to pass the baton on to.

On the work front, Vidyut was last seen in the action-thriller Sanak, opposite Rukmini Maitra, Neha Dhupia and Chandan Roy Sanyal. He will next be seen in Khuda Haafiz Chapter II, for which he is currently shooting across Jammu & Kashmir.
