When Shah Rukh Khan revealed the secret to his diet, fitness for looking young: 'I don't restrict myself...'

Shah Rukh Khan left everyone stunned with his super fit avatar and six-pack abs in 'Pathaan'. The actor is quite fit at the age of 59 and his looks completely belie his age. Here's looking at the time when SRK had opened up on what keeps him so fit and young. He had shared what he eats and doesn't eat and more details about his lifestyle.

SRK had said during a chat with RJ Devanggana around 8 years ago, "I naturally lean towards very basic food. I stick to two main meals daily — lunch and dinner. Apart from these, I don’t snack or eat anything else. I’m not fond of lavish or elaborate dishes (mujhe pakwan pasand nahi). My meals usually include sprouts, grilled chicken, broccoli, and occasionally a small portion of dal. I’ve been eating like this every day for many years without much variation."

He also added, “If I’m flying, or at someone’s home for a meal, I have whatever they graciously serve — whether it’s biryani, roti, parathas, food cooked with ghee, or a glass of lassi. I don’t restrict myself when it comes to sharing a meal with others."

Many are aware of the fact that Shah Rukh is a night person and usually loves working in the night. He also loves night shoots. He had said, "I usually head to bed around 5 AM. Just when Mark Wahlberg is waking up to start his day, I’m wrapping up mine. On shooting days, I wake up by 9 or 10 in the morning. After coming back home late at night — sometimes around 2 AM — I take a shower and get a workout in before I finally sleep."

On work front, he will be seen next in 'King' directed by Sujoy Ghosh. The film reportedly also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Suhana Khan.
