Manoj Bajpayee, the popular Bollywood actor, has revealed in a recent conversation that he has not had dinner for the last 14 years. He made this decision to take care of his health, and he is happy with the outcome.
Manoj said that he got the inspiration to skip dinner from his grandfather, who was always fit despite having a thin frame. He started following his grandfather's eating habits, and it helped him lose weight and feel healthier. He gradually reduced his dinner time until he eliminated it.
He said, "13-14 saal ho gaye. I realized ki yaar ki mere grandfather bahut duble patle the... Aur bahut hi fit rehte the hamesha, toh I thought let me follow what he used to eat. Fir woh shuru jab maine kiya then mera wazan jo he control hona shuru hua. Mein kaafi energetic bhi feel kara aur kaafi healthy feel karna shuru kar diya. Then that was the time I decided that I will stick with this. Phir usme tweaking ye ki maine... fasting kabhi 12 ghante ka 14 ghante ka... raat ka dinner maine dheere dheere hatana shuru kiya.... After lunch, the kitchen is non-operational. It only operates when our daughter is back from hostel." he said in the interview with Curly Tales. (It has been 13-14 years. I saw how my grandfather had a thin frame and was always fit. So I followed him and started to eat which helped me loose weight. I also felt a lot more healthy. I used to tweak it by fasting for 12 hours to 14 hours and slowly, I got rid of having dinner completely.)
Initially, it was challenging for him to maintain this routine, so he used to drink a lot of water and eat some healthy biscuits to kill his hunger. However, he noticed that this lifestyle also kept his body away from several diseases and disorders like diabetes, cholesterol, and heart-related diseases.
Manoj advises people to follow a healthy lifestyle and avoid consuming junk food, especially at night, as it can lead to many health problems.
In his upcoming film "Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai," Manoj will play the role of a lawyer fighting against a powerful godman to bring justice to a minor who was assaulted by a godman. The film is set to premiere on ZEE5 on 23rd May.
