Kriti Sanon has opened up about the intense preparation behind her striking transformation for Cocktail 2, revealing that it was one of the most disciplined phases of her fitness journey so far.
The actor, who has been receiving widespread praise for her toned physique and glamorous new look in the film’s first visuals, shared that achieving the desired appearance required strict dietary control and a consistent workout routine.
Strict Diet and Workout Discipline
In a recent interview with IANS, Kriti admitted that she had to follow a highly controlled diet plan for the first time in her career.
“During Cocktail, it was the only time when I was on a very strict diet and a consistent workout routine. I followed a calorie-deficient diet, which had never happened in my life before,” she said.
Kriti explained that the shoot was based in Sicily, Italy, where food temptations were everywhere. With an abundance of pizzas and pastas around her, sticking to a calorie-controlled plan became even more challenging.
Achieving a Lean, Toned Look
The transformation was aimed at achieving a lean and athletic body to match her character’s glamorous and free-spirited vibe. A calorie-deficient diet, often used for fat loss and body recomposition, helped her attain the sculpted look seen in the film’s promotional material.
Despite the demanding routine, Kriti stayed committed to her fitness goals throughout the shoot, balancing workouts with a carefully monitored food intake.
Why She Chose the Film
Talking about her decision to join the project, Kriti revealed that she needed a refreshing change after emotionally intense work in her previous film.
“Tere Ishq Mein was emotionally draining, I felt completely emptied. I wanted something light and fun, and that’s when Cocktail came my way,” she shared.
