Rohit Roy lost 16 kgs in 25 days for Shootout at Lokhandwala

Actors sometimes undergo extreme transformations for the sake of their roles. Rohit Bose Roy recently recalled the time when he had to undertake a water diet in order to look a certain way for the film Shootout at Lokhandwala. The actor said he lost 16 kgs in a matter of 25-26 days.

Speaking on Cyrus Broacha’s YouTube channel, Rohit shared, “I went on a really stupid diet, and I will never do that again. I had to look emaciated. I lost 16 kgs in 25-26 days. I was on a water diet. It was really intense.”

“Yes, it is dangerous for the organs, and that’s why I called it stupid. I won’t do it again for anything. I’ve heard stories of actors in Hollywood following similar diets, and some have actually died in the process,” added the actor.

Rohit also shared that no one should follow social media and get inspired to take up any diet as people only put their best foot forward online.

“To get out of the diet is also a struggle. It plays on your mind because you look a certain way while following it, and then you want to look like that forever—but nobody can maintain that look forever. I always say, don’t go by my Instagram account; I’m putting my best version there,” Rohit concluded.

Also starring Vivek Oberoi, Tusshar Kapoor and others, Shootout at Lokhandwala was helmed by Apoorva Lakhia.
