Pulkit Bangia wraps up Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye; says ‘It feels like we pressed pause on a beautiful dream'
Actor Pulkit Bangia has officially wrapped up his journey on the television show Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye , and he's walking away with nothing but gratitude, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. Reflecting on his time on the show, Pulkit shared, 'Honestly, being on the show felt like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded—equal parts thrilling, unpredictable, and absolutely hilarious. From last-minute script changes to bonding with the wildest bunch of talented people, every day brought something new. I laughed way too much, learned more than I ever expected, and probably embarrassed myself on camera a few times—but I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Now that it's wrapped, it feels surreal—like we pressed pause on a crazy, beautiful dream.' Pulkit played the role of Abir, Virat's younger brother—a character filled with flamboyance, high energy, and unexpected emotional depth. Speaking about his role earlier, Pulkit had said, 'I'm really excited to be a part of this show. I play Abir, who is Virat's younger brother. The show will unfold new twists and turns. Abir may appear carefree, but there's a lot more beneath the surface—his insecurities, his desire to prove his worth to his family. ' He further added, 'What I love about this role is the amount of layers this character lives and the constant trial Abir is willing to put for proving his value. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [Click Here] - 2025 Top Trending Search - Local network access Esseps Learn More Undo It's been an amazing experience so far, and I can't wait for the audience to watch, relate and enjoy my journey on screen.'

After losing 15 kgs in 21 days, Jackky Bhagnani says he wouldn't ‘advice this to anyone': ‘Had to do it for a shoot with no option'
When Jackky Bhagnani marked his acting debut with 2009 film Kal Kissne Dekha, he grabbed attention for losing over 60 kgs before entering the film industry. Later, in 2017, it was reported that the Faltu actor has lost 15 kgs in just 21 days. However, Jackky Bhagnani claims these drastic weight loss regimes are extremely dangerous admitting that he didn't have an option then and it took a toll on his health. In an exclusive conversation with SCREEN, Jackky spoke about the time when he lost 15 kgs and said, 'It's not healthy. I don't prescribe this to anyone. I had to do it for a shoot but I would not advise that to anyone because anything drastic always has a side effect in someway or the other. It was the need of the hour because of my shoot so I had no option. Ideally, you should be so consistent that you don't need to do something so drastic. You should be four to six weeks away from your best body. You should maintain your body to that extent.' He explained, 'When you do something drastic like this, you either suffer from acidity, hair loss, gut issue, and weakness. Something or the other always affects because it is not natural (to lose so much weight). Either you will have to starve the whole time or take some fat burners. In both the cases it's not good.' Jackky, who successfully maintained his weight since his debut credited discipline for being in shape. 'To maintain a healthy lifestyle, it is a daily effort. Because I have lost weight, I have the tendency to gain weight. Whenever I go on a vacation and let myself lose, gaining weight comes naturally to me so I have to maintain a very strict lifestyle.' Previously, speaking about the reason behind drastic weight loss, Jackky Bhagnani told GQ, 'I broke my knee earlier this year so I had gained some weight because of that. I could not do much of cardio, I was only doing weights. And then the film came up. They needed me to look a certain way for the film and I had only 21 days to accomplish it. This was somewhere between late August and early September. I weighed around 91-92 kg back then and I brought down my weight to 77 kg within 21 days.' Jackky had shared he ran for 10-15 kms every day and wore warm clothes as it helped lose more water. Jackky also followed ketogenic diet which included high intake of fats, medium intake of proteins, and zero crabs. 'You're only allowed to have 4-5 grams of carbs per day through vegetables. So, you're tricking your body to use fats instead of carbs for energy.' However, after all these years, Jackky is dead against losing drastic weight. The actor-producer has also shifted to eating home grown organic vegetables for better health.
