The entire world admires the acting prowess and charm of Bollywood’s King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan. One aspect that piques the interest of both the public and his fans is how he maintains such a high level of fitness, as seen in his recent films.

Fans were captivated by his chiselled physique in his recent blockbusters Pathaan and Jawan. In an older video shared on the website Only My Health, King Khan himself divulged the secrets behind his fitness. Speaking to the website, Shah Rukh said, “I maintain a very normal diet. I eat twice a day, with no snacks in between. I have lunch and dinner.”

He went on to mention that he prefers a basic diet, saying, “I consume a lot of simple foods like sprouts, grilled chicken, broccoli, and occasionally a small portion of lentils.” According to him, he follows this routine throughout the year, having this meal plan twice a day.

Reports suggest that to prepare for Pathaan, the 57-year-old actor adopted an entirely different diet. His regimen included skinless chicken, egg whites and beans.
