Hrithik Roshan is well known for investing time and energy to perfect the requirements of his onscreen character. As seen in the newly released behind-the-scenes video of Ishq Jaisa Kuch song, he can be seen relishing a cheat meal after the wrap.
The actor subscribed to a rigorous 14-month-long high-protein diet to get into the skin of his Fighter character, 'Patty'. Hrithik's onscreen character of a Fighter Jet Pilot required the actor to look lean, fit, and agile, and Roshan left no stone unturned to achieve a chiselled physique.
As seen in the teaser, trailer, and songs - Ishq Jaisa Kuch and Heer Aasmani, Hrithik emerged true to his Greek God title, complete with rock solid abs and minimal body fat percentage. The newly launched BTS from Fighter showcased him letting go of his dietary restrictions and gorging on boxes of food, mainly sweet dishes.
Sources from the sets revealed, "Post the song's wrap, Hrithik's cook surprised him with his favourite healthy sweet dishes. He was served hand-made Beetroot halwa, protein brownies, and moong daal halwa, all of which are Hrithik's most favourite sweet treats. He swept clean all three boxes within minutes." Sharing the clip of the delicious memory, Hrithik wrote, "My Ishq Jaisa Kuch Moment with Food (sic)."
Hrithik, who is known to be a foodie at heart, often undertakes strict dietary restrictions to meet the demands of his onscreen characters. Earlier, Hrithik was seen sharing the little sacrifices he made to keep up with his dietary routine. In a post, while travelling to Italy for Ishq Jaisa Kuch song's shoot, the actor gave insights into his travel meal hacks in line with his fitness regime.
Taking to social media, Hrithik wrote, "Eating cold pre-packed home-cooked healthy meals while travelling for a shooting schedule is a sacrifice I choose to make. I'm hungry. But sometimes you gotta "stay hungry." Packed 6 boxes in my carry-on luggage. Each meal was around 130gm protein veggies. One meal every 3 hours."
All of Hrithik's efforts came to fruition with netizens giving his Fighter character a thumbs up. While Hrithik stunned all with as Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania in Fighter's teaser, he allured viewers with his dance moves and sculpted physique in the songs, Sher Khul Gaye, Ishq Jaisa Kuch and Heer Aasmani respectively, the actor further has peaked audience curiosity by delivering a powerful patriotic punch in Fighter's trailer.
