‘She ate half a kg of jalebi and then…’: Akshay Kumar shares how Disha Patani stays fit even after cheat meals

It’s no secret that Disha Patani follows a strict fitness routine. She is a regular gym-goer who maintains a nutritious diet to stay in shape. The actress, who was last seen in director Ahmed Khan’s Welcome to the Jungle, often shares her workout regimen and healthy eating habits on Instagram. But do you know that despite being one of Bollywood's fittest stars, the 34-year-old doesn’t compromise on her favourite indulgences? Disha’s Welcome to the Jungle co-star Akshay Kumar has revealed it himself.

During the promotions of Welcome to the Jungle, Akshay Kumar and Disha Patani appeared in an interview with Bombay Times. During a candid conversation with the host, Akshay revealed a surprising anecdote about Disha Patani’s balancing cheat meals with fitness, lauding her commitment to staying in shape.

What Disha Patani did after eating jalebis

Akshay Kumar recalled that after Welcome to the Jungle’s trailer launch event, the film’s cast, including Disha Patani and Arshad Warsi, came over to his house. Interestingly, Disha indulged in half a kg of juicy and crunchy jalebis dipped in thick and creamy rabri — a combo overloaded with sugar.

When Akshay Kumar pointed at Disha Patani, asking her whether he was lying, the actress simply laughed and nodded in agreement. Akshay, however, added that later at almost midnight when he called her, Disha told him that she was working out on the treadmill. The actress spent 40 minutes exercising, a display of discipline that made Akshay really ‘happy’ as neither did Disha miss out on the tasty sweet nor did she compromise on her fitness routine.

To conclude, Disha’s fitness philosophy is all about mindfulness and consistency.
