After the blockbuster success of Dhurandhar, all eyes are on actor Akshaye Khanna, who has earned widespread praise for his intense portrayal of the feared character Rehman Dakait. His powerful screen presence, high-energy performance, and viral dance sequence on the song “Fa9la” have made him one of the most talked-about actors of the season.
While fans admire his rugged look and stamina on screen, Akshaye Khanna credits his fitness to an unusually disciplined and simple off-screen lifestyle.
Akshaye Khanna Never Eats Breakfast
In a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, the actor revealed that he never eats breakfast. “I go straight to lunch and then dinner. I don’t eat anything in between—no snacks, not even a sandwich or biscuits,” Khanna said, describing his strict no-snack policy.
Despite long and demanding shooting schedules for action-heavy films like Dhurandhar, the actor remains consistent with this routine. In the evening, he only drinks a cup of tea and avoids all solid food until dinner.
Simple, Balanced Meals Over Celebrity Diets
Contrary to expectations of a high-protein or fad celebrity diet, Akshaye Khanna prefers traditional and balanced meals. For lunch, he usually eats dal, rice, one vegetable, and a portion of chicken or fish. Dinner typically includes plain rotis with a vegetable dish and chicken.
The actor also shared that he sleeps nearly 10 hours a day, emphasizing the importance of rest in maintaining physical and mental health.
A Sweet Tooth, Too
Khanna admitted that he enjoys sweets and has a few favorite foods. “I love lychee, bhindi, and cake. I mostly prefer normal rotis,” he said, adding that his love for desserts remains unchanged despite his disciplined routine.
