Guess what the dedicated actor did.
Commitment and dedication are the keys to success and television heart-throb Sehban Azim surely knows how crucial perfection is.
The actor has already won audiences over with his performance as the dynamic police officer, Malhar Rane in Zee TV’s Tujhse Hai Raabta.
Sehban has been pulling out all stops to get his on-screen avatar right. From toiling extra hard at the gym to getting the right physique of a cop, to working on his diction, Sehban seems to be going the extra mile to make his character even more impactful.
Recently, he had to go shirtless for a sequence on the show. With very less time at hand to prepare, Sehban decided to opt for one of the toughest routes – going off salt and water for 24 hours, in fact after a rigorous work out a day prior to the shoot, Sehban stayed without consuming any food except for his protein shakes to showcase his well-toned physique in all its glory.
Says Sehban, “I don’t think I can survive a day without hitting the gym, so I cultivated a lean toned physique in general. But when I learned that I had to go shirtless for a sequence the very next day, I was concerned about the results as actors take weeks and months to prepare for a shirtless shot, change their diets, cut carbs and the workouts. I had no such privileges and yet, wanted my body to look perfect.”
He continued, “So dire situations call for desperate measures. I took matters into my own hands immediately. Though I do not recommend this to anyone, I undertook a strenuous workout one day prior to the shoot of my shirtless scene and cut out all salt, water, sugar and decided to fast for 24 hours. I am glad that my efforts paid off and we managed to get a perfect shot.”
Well, we can’t wait to see Sehban flex some muscles on screen.
