New Delhi, Feb 7 : Actor Shehzad Shaikh, who is currently seen in the show 'Mehndi Wala Ghar', has opened up on his 'unhealthy' fitness regime, sharing how he had an instant physical transformation for this role.

Shehzad portrays the role of Rahul Agrawal, an NRI in this family drama.  Talking about the preparations that went into this character, Shehzad told IANS: "This role is about a 26-year-old boy, and so for the physical transformation I have dropped about 68 kgs which I had gained for the previous character in 'Sindoor Ki Keemat'. And I will drop four kgs more." 

The actor further said that he has watched a lot of British shows to build upon the accent. "And I am completely a director's actor. Whatever they want I am delivering it to them." 

Speaking about his fitness regime, the 'Bepannah' fame actor said: "I am a very unhealthy person. Asking me to maintain a fitness regime is the last thing one can do in life. Because when I need to drop, I drop -- like I stop eating for 5-6 days. I just eat very very little, and then I fall sick also because of that. I literally shrink in weight." 

"I would not advise anyone to do that. It's not good for your health at all. But my body is very used to this now, and I can do it whenever I want. And I have been doing it for quite some time. I drop my kgs in a very unhealthy way and I don't advise anyone to do it," said Shehzad.
