Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan in a recent interview opened up about his strict diet plan and how he managed to get fit for his role in 'Chandu Champion'. After the trailer release, many were amused by the actor's major body transformation. Now, in a recent interview, the star has revealed his diet plan and what all he gave up to play the role of Murlikant Petkar, India's first Paralympic gold medallist.
In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Kartik revealed that he did a lot of things for the first time and learnt many new things while prepping for the role of Murlikant Petkar. He said, "I did a lot of things for the first time and got to learn new things. If you club together the chronicles of his journey, not just in sports, but his army life and normal life then you will see it becomes a multi-genre biopic which was a difficult subject for me. I was anyway doing a movie out of my comfort zone and this movie was something that taught me a lot.“
He further told the publication that he never had a single cheat day. When asked what he ate and what he had to sacrifice for Chandu Champion, Kartik said, “Wheat, rice, sweets, chocolates, ice cream, burgers, pizza, etc. I had to stop eating a lot of things for the role. The food that I was eating was in small quantities that I didn’t even consider an appetizer. I used to have soup and little fruits, I used to have cauliflower rice, beans, salads, and tofu and I used to eat these for 1-1.5 years. Yes, there were no cheat meals, no Sundays for me, every day was working for me in terms of diet, working out."
