Notably, Produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, Kal Ho Naa Ho was both a critical and commercial success and won eight Filmfare Awards. Rather than capitalising on the immediate fame and pursuing a long-term acting career, he stepped away from the movie industry to follow a completely different passion.
As per the latest buzz, He may have left the screen, but he did not go too far from the movie industry. Over the years, Dheepesh leaned into fitness and developed a heavily muscular physique covered in intricate tattoos, many of which reflect his spiritual devotion to Lord Shiva.
In further updates, The lean and youthful Frankie Ramdayal from 2003 now looks almost unrecognisable. Dheepesh has become a star fitness trainer operating under the name Shivohaam. While he left the big screen, he never truly left Bollywood stars behind. He has trained Ranbir Kapoor for Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and Animal, and Aamir Khan for Talaash and Laal Singh Chaddha. Amitabh Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Ram Charan are also among his star clients.
