Actor Shantanu Maheshwari is our latest guest to grace the latest episode of Bollywood Bubble’s Cook-Off and it was a laughter riot. From speaking about the cooking disasters, he experienced in his life to sharing his memories of food, Shantanu and his cooking or food diaries are worth watching. Speaking about the same, in this episode, the Dil Dosti Dance actor revealed his diet plan and guess what? He doesn’t really have any diet plan as he eats everything.

Maheshwari was asked about his fitness goals, to which he told us, “I feel as far as you think what you can do and you want to do. Agar body aapko allow kar rahi hai so that is fitness for me. Over koi cheez karna, if you enjoy or your body enjoys, I mean go for it. It doesn’t really mean that ki itna bhagta hoon, ki itna cycle karta hoon, ki itna khelta hoon, ki uska matlab nahi hai ki aapko bhi utna karna hai.” When asked for the healthy alternatives, Shantanu mentioned, “Actually, I eat everything, to be very honest, khelo, workout karna hai, you do it proper shiddat se and then you eat everything.”

Interestingly, Shantanu revealed that he doesn’t believe in cheat meals as he eats everything and doesn’t restrict himself. Apart from that, in another exclusive chat with Bollywood Bubble, Maheshwari opened up about the backlash and said that even his friends would get sceptical about Alia playing the role in Gangubai Kathiawadi.

Shantanu told Bollywood Bubble, “When the teaser came out, even a few of my friends- people I know were talking about and even I was trying to convince them because I have seen the way she has performed. She was so effortless and absolutely believable that she is Gangubai in whatever I have seen and whatever I have shot with her.”

The actor further added, “I was trying to convince everyone that Alia is the one no matter what you say. Her journey is in this age group, so how can you say that she should be older. Half the people don’t even know what is the age group, they just wanted to criticise. When I met Alia, I also asked her, ‘Will you guys be doing prosthetics or something.’ So she said ‘No’. But it is ok people are talking about it, that is also ok, a buzz is maintained.”
