Darrell Foster, who trained and guided Farhan Akhtar during his transformation as a boxer told MensXP, “On days Farhan had to highlight his abs, and appear “shredded”, he had to avoid water retention – a common but potentially dangerous process that bodybuilders, athletes and actors commonly practice to appear lean.”
In an interaction with The New Indian Express, Farhan revealed how he gained 15 kilos. “It was a challenge for me to adapt to a way of living that was completely contrary—with a monitored exercise regime, less physical activity and high consumption of fats, carbs, starch. It was tough. Although I balanced consumption of fried food, the starch and fats made up for it and here you go, that’s how I gained an extra 15 kilos.”
