Actor Hrithik Roshan is well known for investing time and energy to perfect the requirements of his onscreen character. As seen in the newly released behind-the-scenes video of 'Ishq Jaisa Kuch' song, Hrithik is seen relishing on a cheat meal post a song wrap.


The actor subscribed to a rigorous 14 month-long high protein diet to get into the skin of his 'Fighter' character,'Patty,' Hrithik's onscreen character of a Fighter Jet Pilot required the actor to look lean, fit, and agile, and Roshan left no stone unturned to achieve a chiseled physique. 


As seen in the teaser, trailer, and songs - 'Ishq Jaisa Kuch' and 'Heer Aasmani,' Hrithik emerged true to his Greek God title , complete with rock solid abs and minimal body fat percentage. The newly launched BTS from 'Fighter' showcases Hrithik letting go of his dietary restrictions and gorging on boxes of food, mainly sweet dishes. 


Sources from the sets revealed, "Post the song's wrap, Hrithik's cook surprised him with his favorite healthy sweet dishes. He was served hand-made Beetroot halwa, protein brownies, and moong daal halwa, all of which are Hrithik's most favorite sweet treats. He swept clean all three boxes within minutes."

Sharing the clip of the delicious memory, Hrithik wrote, "My Ishq Jaisa Kuch Moment with Food" Hrithik, who is known to be a foodie at heart, often undertakes strict dietary restrictions to meet the demands of his onscreen characters.

But sometimes you gotta "stay hungry." Packed 6 boxes in my carry-on luggage. Each meal was around 130gm protein veggies. One meal every 3 hours."
