Connecting with this reporter to discuss Randeep Hooda's dramatic weight loss of 18 kilos in 28 days for Sarbjit (2016), the actor's nutritionist-sister Anjali Hooda-Sangwan had then revealed that even on an appetite of an apple and coffee, Hooda would make a peculiar request.

While she preferred that he limit even regular movement - restricting his activity to shooting and resting alone - the actor wished to indulge in horse-riding while on the almost zero-calorie diet. His request, though instantly turned down, is telling of his fervent desire to participate in a sport that only recently bagged him a silver medal at the National Equestrian Championship. Hooda takes us through how horse-riding enables him to stay in shape, and the physical activities he takes to, to up his game on the field.
