Gagan Talks About Putting On Weight
To strike a resemblance with Telgi, Gagan had to put on over 18 kgs of weight.
Speaking to ANI, Gagan said, ¡°The most challenging part of the shoot was my physical transformation. I had to gain 18-20 kgs of weight to appear more authentic like Telgi on screen. I was under the nutritionist¡¯s guidance. I had to take five meals per day despite the fact that I am not at all a foodie. However, I managed. It was not easy to maintain one look for one whole year and to follow the diet irrespective of fluctuating shooting schedules. Hope audience will like my performance.¡±
