Randeep Hooda in Sarbjit: Randeep Hooda underwent a massive transformation for his 2016 film 'Sarbjit'. In a recent chat, the actor revealed that his mother was so uncomfortable seeing him starve himself that she left her home and went back to Haryana.
In a conversation, Randeep shared that he lost around 30 kilograms while preparing for the role in Sarbjit. Randeep said that when he came to know about his role and how Sarabjit Singh was living in a cell with minimal food, he decided to starve himself. He shared that when he initially lost weight, he thought he looked like Brad Pitt from Fight Club and decided to lose even more weight.
The actor said, "I lost a total of 30 kg, the more I lost, the more I stopped eating, the better I looked. So I started looking like the Brad Pitt of Fight Club." Apart from physical transformation, it was also an emotional journey for him. He said, “It gave me a lot emotionally, taught me a lot about how she must have felt deprived of things. I went crazy. Solitude can kill you.
The actor shared that after a while, his mother felt like he was just killing himself and she couldn't see his process. Randeep said, 'My mother was also here and she left. She said I cannot see you doing this. She tried to stop me. She used to make what I like. She asked, 'Why are you killing yourself?' She left for Haryana saying, 'I can't see this anymore.'
The actor recalled that to lure her with food, his mother used to cook his favourite dishes like Gajar Pak, Kheer and Churma. On the work front, Randeep Hooda is all set to star in Unfair and Lovely opposite Ileana D'Cruz.
