Janhvi Kapoor Reveals Working Out 6 Hours Daily
As the buzz grows around the recently released trailer, Janhvi Kapoor has been shedding light on her intense training process for the film. She described the demanding fitness routine and rigorous strength training she endured to embody the character.
Janhvi Kapoor said, “I wasn’t very radiant while shooting for this film. When I started preparing for this film, I was promoting ‘Good Luck Jerry’. I was possibly shooting for ‘Mili’ and I was about 8-9 kilos heavier. Sharan was very stressed and told me that I didn’t look like a cricketer. He said if I really wanted to do this film, I needed to start losing weight and begin cricket training (sic).”
Janhvi Kapoor Reveals Her Daily Workout Routine
At the press meet Janhvi said, “My daily routine was very intense. I was at the peak of my training, and my coach, Abhishek Nair, said that the training I was undergoing was more intense as what they did with their IPL players (sic).” Janhvi Kapoor described her daily training regimen as incredibly demanding, lasting five to six hours. Her routine included intensive net sessions with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) cricket team, strength training, conditioning exercises, cardio workouts, and dedicated cricket practice.
“I used to wake up in the morning and practice in the nets with the KKR players, who he had recruited. We would practice there for 2 hours. Then I would go to Bandra for strength training, conditioning, and cardio, which took about an hour. After that, I would attend meetings. If there was a shoot, I would go for the shoot, and after wrapping up, I would practice for another 2 hours at a ground in Bandra. So yeah, it was almost 5-6 hours of physical training every day. I was following a very low-carb diet and shooting simultaneously for other projects (sic)” said Janhvi Kapoor.
The Devara actress further continued, “My other directors and producers were getting very upset because I kept losing weight. I remember going to one schedule of the ‘Bawaal’ set, and Nitesh sir looked at me and said, ‘You’ve become so thin.’ I was also shooting for ‘Devara’ for two days, and everyone remarked that I didn’t look as glowing as I used to and that I looked tired. This was all during the course of this film, and I think it went on for a while. But now, I’m starting to feel like myself again, and of course, each of these challenges will take me through a longer process (sic).”
