... To rice, roti, bread, pasta, noodles! Dhara Vora speaks to the Band Bajaa Baaraat star to find out what it else it takes to look as good as he does

When everyone first saw Bittoo Sharma in the 2010 hit Band Bajaa Baaraat (BBB), no one guessed that the bread-pakora-loving, enterprising 'Delhi boy' was actually from Mumbai. The theatre student from Indiana University, Bloomington, in the United States' portrayal of a street-smart Dilliwallah won him several awards and countless fans, including the Filmfare award for Best Debut. A star was born!



His next film, Ladies vs Ricky Bahl (LVRB), saw him con several pretty ladies on screen, and left fans swooning in the famous beach scene in which Ranveer walked on sand sans shirt -- the film might have starred four women, but it was the 26-year-old Ranveer that proved to be the real eye candy.u00a0

Walking on the beach without a shirt might have looked effortless, but the actor had to undergo months of rigorous training and observe strict dietary restrictions to achieve his ripped torso. Currently on location shooting for his third film, Lootera, alongside Dabangg's Sonakshi Sinha, Ranveer Singh lets us in on the secrets to a superstar body.

What's the first thing you eat when you wake up in the morning?
Every character has different demands, in terms of the character's physicality. There are instances when in the same film you are supposed to have two or three different types of physicality. Diet plays a major role. Hence, it's never fixed, but I have eggs cooked with a little salt and pepper for sure.

The number of eggs depends on the diet. Along with eggs, I have fruits and dried fruits, especially almonds, which are a staple. For my meat intake, I either have turkey or chicken slices. When I have to consume more calories, I include a toast, more almonds, fruits and juice and lots of chicken slices. I ensure that have fruits with a low Glycemic Index (GI), so no watermelon and bananas. I have apples, pears and oranges. Sometimes, I also include a bowl of oats.
