Mumbai: Actor Kinshuk Mahajan, who is all set to play an NRI in the upcoming show ‘Megha Barsenge’ has undergone an extraordinary physical makeover for his character.
Kinshuk, who steps into the shoes of Manoj, an NRI husband shared: “I’m grateful for the fantastic opportunity to challenge myself and grow with ‘Megha Barsenge’. This journey of shedding 10 kilos isn’t just about looking the part, it’s about feeling authentic in Manoj’s skin. Every day, I’m pushing myself to new limits in the gym, sweating it out on the treadmill and challenging myself with weight training.”
To bring out the complexities of Manoj, Kinshuk has kicked off a transformative quest that goes beyond memorising dialogues and wardrobe choices. He has embraced a rigorous workout regimen aimed at shedding 10 kgs in a short span.
“But the real test of willpower comes outside the gym. I’ve completely cut out sugar from my diet, which isn’t easy for someone with a sweet tooth like mine. This transformation is teaching me so much about discipline and dedication. It’s not just about the physical changes, but also the mental strength it’s building,” he said.
The ‘Afsar Bitiya’ fame actor further commented: “I’m learning to see food as fuel for my body and performance, rather than just satisfaction for my taste buds. The challenges are real – from dealing with cravings to pushing through tough workouts when my body wants to give up.”
“But the excitement of seeing the gradual changes in my physique and feeling more aligned with Manoj’s character keeps me going. I’m sure my commitment to the character will translate on screen,” he added.
The marital drama promises to spark meaningful change by shedding light on bride abandonment through the journey of a newlywed bride Megha left behind in humiliation and financial ruin by her NRI husband.
‘Megha Barsenge’ will premiere on August 6 on Colors.
