Ranveer's Transformation Fuel
Mustafa Ahmed, fitness trainer and actor, shared insights into Ranveer Singh's dramatic physical overhaul for the film 'Dhurandhar'. Ahmed explained that
achieving the required raw and intimidating, yet not overly bulky, on-screen presence for Ranveer involved not just rigorous workouts but also a significant calorie intake. The actor went from approximately 75-76 kg to 87 kg in a short period leading up to the shoot. Despite the demanding training, which included two sessions daily for several weeks and a strong emphasis on weight training, Ranveer maintained an enthusiastic approach to food, particularly his well-known fondness for Nutella. Ahmed described training Ranveer as a pleasure, highlighting his immense energy and dedication, encapsulated by Ranveer's own words about 'breaking iron' in his training sessions.
Hrithik's Astonishing Appetite
Mustafa Ahmed also shed light on Hrithik Roshan's eating habits, noting that many actors are significant food lovers, a trait he observed in Hrithik. Despite maintaining a famously disciplined lifestyle, Hrithik can consume large quantities of food, often surprising those around him. Ahmed recounted an instance where Hrithik ate an impressive 13 to 14 ghee-laden chapatis in one sitting, only stopping because the next one took too long to arrive. This large appetite, Ahmed emphasized, is effectively managed by Hrithik's consistent and dedicated training regimen, demonstrating that indulgence and fitness can coexist when properly balanced.
Vicky's Fast Metabolism
Further insights were provided regarding Vicky Kaushal, whom Ahmed was slated to train for a future project. Ahmed expressed astonishment at Vicky's remarkably high metabolism, humorously suggesting he could 'eat a brick and digest it.' This unique physiological trait makes it challenging to build muscle or weight on Vicky, as he seems to process any food he consumes with incredible efficiency. Ahmed also briefly touched upon Yami Gautam's dietary preferences, noting her inclination towards simpler meals, including chai and home-cooked dishes, which aligns with a more conventional approach to healthy eating.
Beyond the Gym
The article highlights that even off-set and away from intense training, Bollywood stars like Ranveer Singh maintain a strong connection with food. Recent sightings showed Ranveer and his wife enjoying a seafood meal at a popular Mumbai restaurant shortly after the success of 'Dhurandhar 2,' with the restaurant playfully referencing the film. Another instance saw the couple enjoying a simple dosa at a cafe known for its butter-laden Bengaluru-style dosas. These public appearances underscore Mustafa Ahmed's observation: for actors such as Ranveer, their ability to maintain elite fitness is often supported by a combination of rigorous training, disciplined routines, and the freedom to enjoy indulgent food, rather than solely relying on restrictive diets.
