Manoj Bajpayee maintains a healthy lifestyle, and has not had dinner in 14 years. In a recent interview, the actor was asked if he follows a special diet, and if he is also working on his abs. The actor revealed the reason why he gave up dinners, and said that he places a lot of importance on exercise as well.
He shared with Jist, “Food is the biggest enemy when it comes to weight and illnesses. When you stop eating dinner, there are many illnesses that you save yourself from. I reduced my intake of food because I like food. You will wonder why? Because the lunch that I have, that’s great. I have rice, roti and my favourite vegetarian or non-vegetarian dish with it.”
Manoj said that this works for him as it keeps his weight “balanced.” He also stressed upon the importance of exercising. “I do yoga, meditation. Your mental health is just as important, abs aren’t the only important thing,” he said, and added that he is not doing all of this to craft a particular shape. “If I decide that I want abs, then I will get there, but that’s not what I want. Because I want to do things like Joram, Bandaa, Gulmohar, Killer Soup, and just by making abs, I can’t do all of those roles,” he shared.

In an earlier chat with Curly Tales, Manoj said that he got into this lifestyle after he started following in his grandfather’s footsteps. “I realised my grandfather was very thin and was always fit. So I thought, let me follow what he used to eat. When I started doing that, my weight was under control. I started feeling energetic and healthy. Then, that was the time I decided I will stick with this,” he shared.
Manoj is currently looking forward to the release of his new Netflix series, Killer Soup.
