When it comes to fitness, actor Akshay Kumar is perhaps the only actor who can give everyone in Bollywood a run for their money.. And the way he pulls off stunts on screen, is what earned him his moniker Khiladi off it.

However, recently Kumar got that rare chance to let himself go and feast to his heart’s content. Filming for Aanand L Rai’s upcoming film, Raksha Bandhan, he plays a Dilli ka ladka. What is interesting is that while he had to lose six kg to look leaner as a cop in Rohit Shetty’s Sooryavanshi, he has to bulk up for his next.

But, Kumar is not at all complaining. “I quite enjoy the process of losing or gaining weight for a character because I am able to do it in a healthy way. I have gained 5 kg in a totally natural process. And it also allowed me the rare indulgence of eating meri maa ke haath ka halwa. What a blessing!” he gushes.

Kumar, who is currently shooting for Raksha Bandhan in Mumbai, will be seen sharing screen space with five fresh faces who play his sisters in the film.
