During a conversation with Cyrus Broacha on his YouTube channel, Rohit Roy spoke about his fitness regime and the unrealistic diet he followed to look skinny in Shootout at Lokhandwala back in 2007. Roy revealed going on a “really stupid" diet and admitted, “I will never do that again.” Elaborating on it, he stated that since he had to look a certain way in the actioner, he put himself through that torture and lost 16 kg in less than 25-26 days. “I was on a water diet,” he divulged, adding that it was really intense.

Further on, Roy highlighted how risky it was, as the diet can dangerously affect one's organs. He further revealed hearing shocking stories about actors who tried to do similar diets, and some of them in Hollywood have actually "dropped." Having said that, the Delhii Heights actor shared that now he has a gym in his van and follows the 16:8 intermittent diet. The actor tries to fast for almost 18 hours a day and keeps the eating window between 6 and 8 hours.
