Actor-politician Ravi Kishan credits a change in dietary habits and regular exercise with helping him lose 18 kg. The 57-year-old star is proving that even in the age of quick fixes, traditional methods still work. Below is the weight loss journey he shared.
Ravi Kishan’s weight loss journey
According to the Hindustan Times, talking about his transformation, Ravi Kishan revealed, “I reduced from 90 kg to 72 kg. Prepare kar raha hoon apni body ko, ripped kar de raha hoon and shrink kar raha hoon (I was preparing my body, getting ripped, and then losing weight),” he shared that his political responsibilities and frequent visits to Gorakhpur constituency led to weight gain, but he has since returned to a fruit-based diet to regain a leaner physique. “I lost 18 kilograms by changing my diet,” he said.
Ravi Kishan shares on-screen persona to inspire transformation
The actor revealed that his different looks on screen have motivated him to stay in shape. He explained, “‘Laapataa Ladies’ (2024) required me to look heavy; in ‘Mirzapur: The Movie’ I will look skinny and in ‘Naagzilla’ I have a super fit body. It’s not easy when you are in your 50s, but a change in food will help because 70-80% is what you eat and the rest is exercise.”
Ravi Kishan on his flexible but not restrictive diet
Ravi Kishan clarified that his dietary pattern is not strictly limited to fruits. “Mahadev’s blessings give me the strength to stick to a one-meal diet, intermittent fasting or eating only fruits,” he shares, adding, “But I keep adapting it to manage my political responsibilities. These days, the Parliament is in session, so I eat soaked dry fruits and salads. As per need, I also add protein, carbohydrates and ghee.” His favorite foods include avocado, kiwi, apples, bananas, oranges and fresh juices.
