In fact, in their business, they need to look their best and unlike some of their predecessors, New Age stars are keeping a close eye on what they eat and their workouts.
Some have hired trainers and do strenuous workouts, while others have turned vegetarian. Perhaps the men feel the need to keep up with their svelte and sexy co-stars and look good with them on screen.
Most of the reigning stars like Mahesh Babu, Ram Charan Tej, Naga Chaitanya, RaNa and Allu Arjun have great physiques and their hiring trainers and cooks, shows their fascination for a healthy lifestyle.
Mahesh Babu, who has hired a trainer, says, “It is very difficult to maintain a lean frame. If we relax a bit we could put on weight. So, a few months ago, I hired a trainer and he has put me on a rigorous fitness regimen but I am enjoying it.”
He does, however, sometimes miss regular food. “I’m a foodie and like to try different cuisines, I binge on my favourite dishes on cheeky Sundays,” he adds.
Ram Charan Tej, like a true star, has gone a step further and has flown a Chennai cook over to Miami to dish out pure vegetarian food. “Of course, we hired a chef from Chennai, as I love specialities like uttapam and aviyal. Vegetarian food is healthy, but I mostly have a protein-rich diet for a toned body,” he says.
Even Naga Chaitanya is fascinated with South Indian food idli and sambar, as he lived in Chennai for 18 years. He, however, now follows a low-calorie diet in Hyderabad.
“I had to add some muscle for my action film Dhada, so I cut down on carbohydrates and fatty foods and took up a protein-rich diet with energy supplements. In any case, I’m not a foodie and am quite selective about my diet,” he says.
Whereas his friend and actor RaNa says he loves to relish various delicacies.
“Even though he indulges himself, he does make sure he burns the calories through an extremely strenuous workout,” says a source close to the actor. But the actor is known to follow strict diets when he is filming.
Allu Arjun also relies on a strenuous workout to keep his fabulous body in shape.
“I’ve heard that Salman Khan doesn’t sleep without working out. I also rarely miss out a workout, burning the calories you consume is the best way to keep your appetite and body in good humour,” he reasons.
