I never skipped my workout and never cheated on my diet. I would stare at the food everyone else was having and I’d often say, ‘last day pe I’ll eat all the mithaai’. I’m very glad that Badhaai Do gave me this opportunity to change my physique completely. I can’t wait for people to watch our beautiful film.”

Over a few years, Ranveer Singh has transformed several times for his blockbuster movies. The transformation from a muscular person in his movie ‘Simmba’ to a fit sports person in ‘83’ required intense hard work. ‘83’ is a biopic of Kapil Dev, an Indian cricket player. The challenging part was that Ranveer was 86kg in ‘Simmba’ and had to lose 12-14 kg. It was a difficult, slow, and emotional process to shed the muscle that he so painstakingly built. With the help of Rajiv (Jifit) and PodSupply (celebrity tiffin service provider), Ranveer said the journey was made easy and he achieved the target which he was happy and satisfied with.
