Manoj Bajpayee reveals not having dinner for 14 years, explains why he follows this lifestyle

Manoj Bajpayee follows a healthy diet and hasn't eaten dinner in 14 years. In a recent interview, the actor was asked if he has a special diet and if he exercises to get his abs. Responding to the question, the actor explained why he stopped eating dinners and stressed the importance of exercise in his life.

What did Manoj Bajpayee say about his diet?

Manoj Bajpayee shared in an interview with Jist that "Food is the biggest enemy when it comes to weight and illnesses. When you stop eating dinner, there are many illnesses that you save yourself from. I reduced my intake of food because I like food. You will wonder why? Because the lunch that I have, that’s great. I have rice, roti and my favourite vegetarian or non-vegetarian dish with it."

Manoj further added, "I do yoga, meditation. Your mental health is just as important, abs aren’t the only important thing. If I decide that I want abs, then I will get there, but that’s not what I want. Because I want to do things like Joram, Bandaa, Gulmohar, Killer Soup, and just by making abs, I can’t do all of those roles."

Manoj Bajpayee discusses Joram's box office

While the film is about to complete a month in theater, Manoj Bajpayee in an interview with Jist, discussed the box office performance of the film and said while gesturing at the audience, "Inmein se kisi ne nahi dekhi hogi (no one here must have watched Joram)." He further added, "I am telling you, it is a possibility. We had purposely released Joram in very few theatres because we wanted to gauge if the audiences' brain work the same way as we think, or if they only want to watch other kind of films."

Joram, directed by Devashish Makhija, revolves around a desperate man and his infant daughter fleeing a system that wants them crushed at any cost. The film also stars Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Smita Tambe, and Tannishtha Chatterjee in important roles.
