New Delhi: Bollywood’s one of the finest – Akshaye Khanna is an enigma to many. After the recent super success of Dhurandhar and the adulation he received for his role of Rehman Dacait – the actor went into his zen mode and was not really seen anywhere. Now, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, he shared his diet routine at 50.
Akshaye Khanna revealed that he does not practise a strict diet, but instead prefers a balanced and enjoyable lifestyle. “For as long as I can remember, even today, I never eat breakfast. I go straight to lunch and then dinner, and even between lunch and dinner, I don’t eat anything at all, not even a sandwich or a biscuit. In the evening, I just have a cup of tea, that’s it.” Talking about his sleep schedule, Akshaye mentioned that he sleeps “about 10 hours a day.
“For lunch, I mostly eat dal and rice with one vegetable and one chicken or fish or some non-veg dish. At night, I usually eat roti with one vegetable and one chicken dish, and that’s what I mostly eat,” the actor shared.
“My favourite foods are lychee, bhindi and cake. I can eat anything sweet,” he admits, adding, “It’s the same even when I am not shooting, there is no difference.”
