Toofan: Farhan Akhtar puts on 15 kgs in 6 weeks for sports-drama

Farhan Akhtar who stunned his fans with his chiselled physique of a boxer in the poster of his upcoming flick 'Toofan' had to go through a complete body transformation for a part of the sports-drama that required him to put on 15 kilos in 6 weeks.

"For me, fitness is a way of life and not just a routine. Irrespective of my craft, I choose to live a healthy and disciplined lifestyle. I've always refrained from indulging in things that could have adverse effects on my body," the 46-year-old actor said.

The 'Dil Dhadakne Do' actor shared that it was a challenge for him to go through such a transformation. "It was a challenge for me to adapt to a way of living that was completely contrary - with 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!" he added.
