Rithvik might be very fit now, but he tells us things were pretty different for him in school. He says, "I was fat and weighed 130 kilos back then. Now I get many compliments about my dance moves and voice, but it wasn't so in my earlier days." Once he decided that he had to cut all the flab, there was no looking back. About his decision to become an actor, he says, "I was 15 when I had first acted in a school play. And even though I had no dialogues, I fell in love with acting. Ever since, I have been following my dream."
