Priyanka then went under a strenuous regime that consisted of a combination of weight training and cardio along with a strict controlled diet.

Talking about Priyanka’s transformation, Jharna Sanghvi, siad, “It is not advisable to cut 6-7 kilos in a mere 15-20 days. But it can be achieved for boxers with the right weight training and activities like skipping and running. This was coupled by a strict protein rich diet minus carbs. Regular exercises and running for at least 30 minutes helped in a huge way.”

‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ also stars Ranveer Singh, Farhan Akhtar, Aushka Sharma and Anil Kapoor in lead roles.
