Choti Sarrdaarni fame Avinesh Rekhi is all set to play the male lead in the upcoming show ‘Tere Bina Jiya Jaye Na’. Avinesh will be essaying the role of Prince Devraj and the fans are mighty excited to see him on the screen in a new avatar.
There has been a great amount of hard work and discipline behind Avinesh’s lean look. In order to play the role of a young handsome prince, Avinesh lost 13 kilos in a short time.
Talking about it in an interview with BT, Avinesh said: “Weight loss is a nightmare for most people. Losing weight is indeed a very tough job. All my life I have been a fitness enthusiast, but it was quite difficult for me this time around.”
He added: “When you have dedication, work out with precision and motivation, and follow a rigorous diet, then you get the desired results.”
The actor, who’s also known for his role in tv shows like ‘Madhubala-Ek Ishq Ek Junoon’, ‘Darr Sabko Lagta Hai’ and ‘Tu Sooraj Main Saanjh, Piyaji’, added: “I was on a one-meal-a-day diet. Having one meal a day is considered unhealthy, and I wouldn’t recommend it to most people, but, knowing as I do a lot about nutrition, I was able to ensure that I wasn’t deprived of any essential macronutrient. I didn’t go to the gym for any weight training, I just did functional training that required hands, such as conditional workouts, push-ups and pull-ups.”
Talking about his emphasis on losing weight for the character, Avinesh said; “When I was offered the show, they wanted me to shoot bare-chested for a lot of sequences. That became my biggest motivation for being in shape. My transformation for the show was really challenging, but I am very content and excited to see myself on the screen, and I’m sure it will be a treat for all my fans.”
We wish Avinesh and the entire team of Tere Bina Jiya Jaye Na all the best.
