(Image: Instagram/ Sonu Sood) In a world obsessed with fitness fads and short-term transformations, actor Sonu Sood's physique stands as a testament to consistency, willpower, and unshakable discipline. While Bollywood's more publicised body makeovers often steal the limelight, Sood's quietly sculpted frame tells a longer, more persistent story. And now, the man behind that transformation—his longtime fitness coach Yogesh Bhateja—has finally lifted the lid on what keeps the actor in superhero shape. Speaking on Nitin Bajaj's podcast, Bhateja painted a vivid picture of what it's like to train someone who refuses to skip a workout—even with a broken leg or during national holidays. 'Sonu will never miss a single workout. He'll train on Holi, Diwali, and New Year's Day. And I'm right there with him,' Bhateja revealed. Bhateja recalled how he had visualised working with Sonu years before it actually happened. 'I was watching Dabangg and said to my brother, 'This man has the potential for a great physique; he just doesn't know it yet.'' That manifestation turned into reality when a friend in Mumbai asked Bhateja to take over a celebrity gym due to scheduling conflicts. The actor who walked in? None other than Sonu Sood. What impressed the trainer even more was Sood's grit. 'He once walked into the gym on crutches. I found out he had fractured his leg in seven places during the Celebrity Cricket League in Dubai. Within 15 days of inserting a platinum plate, he was back in the gym,' he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sonu Sood (@sonu_sood) For those expecting an elaborate and exotic meal plan, Bhateja's revelations are both surprising and grounding. Sonu's diet is simple and consistent—almost monk-like. 'He begins his day with 5–6 eggs, sweet potato, and sometimes papaya. Post-workout, there's a protein shake and more eggs. Lunch is straightforward—dal, rice, sabzi, and salad. Evening calls for another shake, and dinner usually includes sautéed vegetables and more eggs,' Bhateja detailed. And if he ever indulges? 'He confesses if he's had a samosa,' the trainer laughed. When Bhateja first started working with Sood, he noticed an intense but imbalanced workout pattern. 'His warm-up alone consisted of 100 push-ups, several sets on parallel bars, pull-ups, and 100 bent-knee leg raises. He was overtraining some areas while neglecting others. I designed exercises to trigger underworked muscles. By the time was being shot, he was in peak form,' he said.

Billy McNicholl: 18-year-old charged with murder of Ipswich man who died on Christmas Day
An 18-year-old man has been charged with murder over the death of a 63-year-old man who died on Christmas Day. William McNicholl, known as Billy, was found dead a week later at 6pm on New Year's Day at an address in Hawthorn Drive, Ipswich. Friends had become concerned for his welfare after it had been days since he was last active on social media, posting a picture of Christmas dinner. Suffolk Police said a Home Office post-mortem examination showed he died from head injuries and a stab wound to the right shoulder. 18-year-old Jake McMillan was re-arrested on Monday on suspicion of murder, having previously been arrested and bailed in January when he was 17. Mr McMillan, most recently of Banbury Road, Hackney in London, but formerly of Ipswich, has been charged with murder and also being concerned in the supply of cannabis. He has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Ipswich Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. Police said three other people were arrested on 1 April as part of the investigation. A 17-year-old boy, 18-year-old man and 41-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and being concerned in the supply of Class A and B drugs. They were taken to Martlesham Police Investigation Centre for questioning and were bailed to return to police on 1 October. A woman in her 50s, who was previously arrested on suspicion of murder before being released on bail, will face no further action.
