'Salman Khan only eats home food': When the actor's fitness trainer revealed his diet, adding 'biryani is his cheat meal'

Superstar Salman Khan is not just known for his acting and charming personality but has also been an icon of fitness for all the Indians. For decades, fans have admired the actor’s fitness levels and wondered what keeps him in such remarkable shape. However, the secret behind the actor's physique is nothing but balanced home-cooked food. Let's take a look at what his fitness trainer Rakkesh R. Uddiyar once said about the actor's diet.

According to the Moneycontrol report, Salman Khan had said, "I'll eat anything but won’t overeat. Like, say, one spoon rice or at max one and a half, whatever vegetables, then chicken or mutton or fish." This straightforward rule-eat everything but in moderation-has remained a cornerstone of the actor’s lifestyle over the years.

Salman Khan prefers home-cooked meals

According to trainer Rakkesh R Uddiyar, the superstar's eating habits are deeply rooted in family traditions. Even though he is a global star, he prefers food cooked at home, especially by his mother, Salma Khan. Rakkesh revealed, "He only eats home food, cooked by his mother. No matter what food you bring him, he would say, ‘Ghar ka khana do. Mummy ne jo banaya wahi khana lagao. Wahi khaunga (Give me home-cooked food. I will eat what my mother has prepared).'"
