In a recent heartwarming development from the sets of the anticipated movie ‘Fighter,’ Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan was captured in a rare moment of culinary bliss. The behind-the-scenes footage from the song ‘Ishq Jaisa Kuch’ from ‘Fighter’ revealed Roshan enjoying a well-deserved cheat meal post the shoot. Known for his dedication, the actor completed a grueling 14-month strict diet to align with the physique of his character, ‘Patty,’ a Fighter Jet Pilot who exudes fitness and agility. Embodying his Greek God persona, Hrithik showcased his steel-cut abs and lean figure that perfectly fit the demands of his role throughout the teaser, trailer, and the songs like ‘Ishq Jaisa Kuch’ and ‘Heer Aasmani.’
The recently dropped BTS video presents a delightful glimpse of Hrithik tossing aside his dietary rigor as he indulges in an array of sweet dishes. Reflecting upon the end of the song, it was disclosed that the star was welcomed with his favorite sweet delicacies prepared by his personal cook, specifically Beetroot halwa, protein brownies, and moong daal halwa. Hrithik, expressing his love for these treats, effortlessly cleared all three boxes in a matter of minutes.
Hrithik shared this savory moment on his social media with the caption, “My Ishq Jaisa Kuch Moment with Food.” The actor is well-known for his gastronomic passions but also for the extreme discipline he maintains to embody his characters’ precise visual requirements.
On one occasion leading up to the shoot in Italy for ‘Ishq Jaisa Kuch,’ Hrithik shared insights into his diet whilst traveling. In a candid post, he depicted the sacrifices he made to adhere to his strict meal regimen. He wrote about his experience of eating cold, pre-packed and home-cooked healthy meals even while on the move. His routine included carrying with him six boxes of meals, each consisting of around 130 grams of protein with veggies, with an intake scheduled every three hours.
The fruits of Hrithik’s stringent fitness and dietary efforts were evident as fans and netizens have collectively given a thumbs up to his portrayal in ‘Fighter.’ From his captivating presence as Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania in the teaser to his dance numbers and chiseled body in the songs to his intense portrayal in the movie’s trailer, Roshan has incessantly stirred the interests of his viewers.
‘Fighter’ is being helmed by Siddharth Anand and marks the third collaboration between him and Hrithik Roshan. This project also features a first-time star combination of Hrithik with Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor. Branded as India’s maiden aerial action franchise film, ‘Fighter’ will also be Roshan’s inaugural experience with a 3D film format.
As anticipation builds, ‘Fighter,’ produced by Viacom18 Studios and Marflix Pictures, is set to grace cinemas globally on January 25, 2024, aligning with the joyous occasion of India’s 75th Republic Day.
As the journey of ‘Fighter’ unfolds before its grand release, fans find themselves yearning for every snippet of Roshan’s dedication to his work—be it his disciplined lifestyle or the rare moments where he lets himself bask in the glory of delicious treats, marking his “Ishq Jaisa Kuch Moment with Food.”
