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.

Nushrratt Bharuccha On Struggles To Get Roles: "Sonakshi Sinha, Shraddha Kapoor Can Reach Places I Can't"
New Delhi: Nushrratt Bharuccha, who was recently seen in the Amazon Prime original Chhorii 2, opened up about her struggles to get meatier roles despite delivering hits in an interview with Shubhankar Mishra . When compared with contemporaries like Shraddha Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha's careergraphs, Nushrratt admitted there are directors whom Shraddha and Sonakshi can approach but she can't. "They definitely have an advantage. They know the industry, they know the people. And if they don't, their parents do. So what happens is, they reach places I cannot. They can knock on doors I may not even know the address of. If I want to meet a director, who's going to give me his number? Where should I even ask for the director's address? This is a very practical problem - but it's a real one," recalled Nushrratt. Nushrratt made her debut with Kal Kissne Dekha but she was first noticed in Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011). Sonakshi Sinha made her big debut opposite Salman Khan in Dabangg (2010). Shraddha Kapoor made her debut with Teen Patti, which was a flop at the box office. But the debut films' performances didn't affect Sonakshi or Shraddha's career trajectory. Nushrratt pointed out they keep on getting offers whereas she was approached by a lesser number of people. Acknowledging the insiders' battle, the Chhorii actress said, "It's so difficult to get a director's number or set up a meeting. It's a very tough road for people who are not from the industry. I don't like calling them 'nepo kids' because they have their own struggles - but yes, they get inroads that we don't. That may have been the harder route for me. I value the people who want to work with me. I hold them close like family. I would have liked a lot more opportunities - more 'yes' than 'no's'. But I'm still very happy with the films I've got." Nushrratt's Chhorii 2 didn't impress critics or audience. The horror film, directed by Vishal Furia, is the sequel to the 2021 film Chhorii. It also stars Soha Ali Khan, along with Gashmeer Mahajani and Hardika Sharma in lead roles.
