Athiya Shetty sweats it out as she trains in mixed martial arts

Mumbai: While many are busy fighting the heat in this blazing summer, ‘Hero’ star Athiya Shetty is busy sweating it out as she trains hard in mixed martial arts.

The actress is learning mixed martial arts with grand master Shifuji Shaurya Bhardwaj, who is a Chief commando mentor of the elite special forces.

Following the rigorous routine, Athiya wakes up at 6 am thrice a week and trains in martial mixed arts.

After the actress showed a keen interest in changing her work out regimen, Athiya decided to give MMA training a shot. Reportedly, the actress got so comfortable with mixed martial arts that she makes it a habit to not miss out on her sessions.

The training has made Athiya stress free and stronger. While we wish the actress all the luck for her hardwork and training, we can't help but wonder if she is prepping for her next film.
