The 67-year-old goes on to share his schedule during Ramzan. “I ride to the mosque at 5.30am for the prayers. The total ride distance is around 2km. Then I ride again to the mosque after breaking the fast for the night prayers. Later, after dinner and my online classes, I go for an extended ride of 8km to 9km. Since the traffic is light post midnight, cycling at that time is fun. I ride for about an hour. I get home by 1am, sleep around 2am, wake up at 4.30am for sehri and fajr prayer followed by the same cycling routine,” ends the Fighter actor.
