Tisca Chopra admires Anil Kapoor dedication to health and fitness

During the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Anil Kapoor came on stage to speak about his Bollywood journey. Actress Tisca Chopra who was the moderator remembered an incident during the shooting of TV series 24. She reminisces that while the entire team was done for the day and tired, the Pagalpanti actor was pacing up and down. That is when Tisca offered him a biscuit. He looked at it for a long time and returned it politely. The Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji actress thought it was because of the calories that he refused to eat it.

 

However, Anil Kapoor confirmed, “It wasn’t about the calories. Khaana bohot zaroori hai sahi waqt par. I just feel that as an actor, I am conditioned to eat during breaks. If you eat during scenes, you disturb the process of building the emotion required for the scene. Food makes your lethargic. Aur aagar ek biscuit kha leta, to ek pe thodi rukta? I would have finished the entire packet. The panther must not taste blood in the middle of a scene.” This cracked everyone up.
