Veteran actor Manoj Pahwa recently shared insights into the hard work and dedication that Bollywood A-listers put into their craft, emphasizing the strict discipline they maintain regarding their workout routines and sleep schedules to appear effortless on the big screen. The Office Office actor, who has worked with stars like Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, and Akshay Kumar in films like Dil Dhadakne Do and Singh Is Kinng, used them as examples to illustrate the lifestyle of big Bollywood stars.
Speaking to Hindi Rush, Manoj elaborated on the disciplined lifestyle maintained by Priyanka and Anushka. He said, “The female actors like Anushka Sharma and Priyanka Chopra have a very restricted diet. After wrapping up the film at 4 or 5 in the morning, we would go eat and sleep, but they would head straight to the gym, work out for two hours, and then sleep. They work really hard. That’s what I learned while working in big films—it looks easy, but it isn’t.”
Discussing Akshay Kumar, he added, “Akshay is the same. While shooting Singh Is Kinng in Australia for a month, we would party almost every day after pack-up. We’d wrap up work by 6 pm and meet at 7 pm in one of the hotel rooms to party. Akshay would join us but he doesn’t drink, so at exactly 7:45 pm, his trainer would arrive and announce that his food was ready. He would eat while telling us, ‘Tum logo ke maze hai (You guys are having fun).’ By 8:30 pm, he would leave to sleep by 9 pm. He’d then wake up at 4 am and work out with the same trainer for 2-3 hours before starting work.”
On the professional front, Manoj Pahwa was last seen in Vicky Kaushal’s The Great Indian Family. He will next appear in IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack and plays a pivotal role in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut Stardom.
