TV Star’s 120‑Floor Challenge Showcases Fitness, Draws Praise from Smriti Irani

Sumit Sachdev, best known for his role in the long‑running series “Kyonki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,” shared a video that captures him climbing an imposing flight of stairs with a 10‑kg bag strapped to his shoulder. The actor’s narration explains that the exercise is intended to encourage viewers to keep fit.

The clip quickly gathered attention, prompting former Union minister Smriti Irani to post a brief remark—simply “120 floors… ”—accompanied by a shocked emoji, underscoring her surprise. Sachdev’s career began in architecture, later shifting to stage performance before landing television fame. His résumé now includes several drama serials, the web series “Slum Golf,” and a return to his signature role, this time portraying a lawyer in the sequel.
