After losing 18 kgs in 28 days for the Sarabjit biopic, Randeep Hooda started looking so emaciated, his photo went viral.
He has now revealed how he went about losing weight so drastically and so quickly.
Randeep had planned to lose weight gradually over 3 or 4 months. But director Omung Kumar told him last Diwali that he had only 28 days to lose his weight as he wanted to shoot the jail scenes first.
It was not a small challenge for Randeep, who had a gym-toned muscular body and weighed 94 kg.
His sister Dr Anjali Hooda-Sangwan, a nutrition specialist, put him on a low calorie diet that gave him 500-600 calories a day.

Realising that he would never lose weight in the way the film required, on what she had prescribed, Randeep went on a zero calorie diet without realising the consequences.
He told Mumbai Mirror that the lack of sugar drove him crazy. He was thinking about food all the time and there were days when he was so hungry, he couldn't sleep. He was so emaciated he could barely walk.
And he says he might not have pulled it off, had his sister not monitored his health so closely.
