Speaking about his weight loss, he said, “I lost some weight and put on my garb to become Pooja. I have quite a fast metabolism. I can lose weight just by doing cardio and giving up on carbs.” The Article 15 actor further mentioned, “Thodi bahut mehnat ki patla hone ke liye like cardio and eating right, baaki thoda bahut VFX bhi hota hai (I did cardio and ate right to get the right frame for Pooja, for everything else there’s always VFX).”

Moreover, Khurrana also mentioned that he saw Ananya Panday as his competition. He said, “I did method acting as I wore female perfume to get into my character. I used to take it from my make-up artist or manager. I wanted to be as beautiful as Ananya Panday, she was my competition.”

He also quipped that this time he wants to get the Best Actress award. “Ekta ji bohot hi smart producer hai unhone hero heroine dono ki fees ek se hi karwa li hai. Iss baar main chahta hu ki muhe best actress ka award mile. Yehi mera ek andar se aspiration aur dream hai Dream Girl,” An Action Hero actor said.
