Kishan’s dietary changes
Ravi Kishan said that policial duties and visits to his Gorakhpur Constituency did lead to some weight gain, but he lost 18kg by changing how he eats. He has maintained a fruit-heavy diet to regain a leaner frame, according to Hindustan Times. “I was 90kg and dropped to 72kg. Prepare kar raha hoon apni body ko, ripped kar de raha hoon, shrink kar raha hoon,” said Kishan.
Kishan further said, “Laapataa Ladies (2024) required me to look heavy, in Mirzapur: The Movie I will look lean, while in Naagzilla I have a super-fit body. When you are in your 50s, it’s not easy, but food changes can help, as 70-80% is what you eat and the rest is exercise.”
“It’s Mahadev’s blessing that he gives me the strength to be on a one-meal diet, intermittent fasting or exclusively on fruits,” the actor added. Avocado, kiwi, apples, bananas, oranges and fresh juices are among his preferred choices. He also stressed the importance of exercising regularly for muscle health.
Actual implications of fruit-heavy diet
Nutritionist Rashi Chahal said that a fruit-heavy diet is extremely healthy but cannot replace a complete diet. Our body also needs essential fats and protiens, and a complete meal should comprise cereals, pulses, dairy, vegetables and fruits.

Chahal further said that people with diabetes or kidney disease, pregnant or lactating women, older adults, underweight people and people under medication or having a history of eating disorders should avoid restrictive diets.
Chahal further said, “Celebs often have a short-term goal and access to nutritionists, trainers and medical supervision. What works for a two-month transformation cannot become a benchmark for everyday health.” She said that it is a short term benefit and might not be very sustainable, as weight might return once regular eating resumes.
