Shah Rukh Khan, 59, credits his youthful look to simple meals like dal, sprouts, and chicken. He once shared his diet routine. Whenever Shah Rukh Khan or his manager, Pooja Dadlani, posts a picture of King Khan, fans wish to know just one secret – what sorcery is SRK doing to look this fit and young at 59? Sadly, there’s no secret.
Nor does he follow a strict diet plan that he can vouch for as effective. However, the superstar did once reveal that he sticks to two basic meals and leans towards simple food items such as dal, sprouts and chicken. About 8 years ago, Shah Rukh Khan spoke to RJ Devanggana about his food choices.
Admitting that he doesn’t follow any diet plan of sorts, the superstar said, “I naturally lean towards very basic food. I stick to two main meals daily — lunch and dinner. Apart from these, I don’t snack or eat anything else.
I’m not fond of lavish or elaborate dishes (mujhe pakwan pasand nahi). My meals usually include sprouts, grilled chicken, broccoli, and occasionally a small portion of dal. I’ve been eating like this every day for many years without much variation.
" He also added, “If I’m flying, or at someone’s home for a meal, I have whatever they graciously serve — whether it’s biryani, roti, parathas, food cooked with ghee, or a glass of lassi. I don’t restrict myself when it comes to sharing a meal with others." However, not much has changed for SRK.
His views on food and sleep remained consistent when he spoke to The Guardian last year. In that conversation, he once again shed light on his unconventional lifestyle choices. He remarked, “I usually head to bed around 5 AM.
Just when Mark Wahlberg is waking up to start his day, I’m wrapping up mine. On shooting days, I wake up by 9 or 10 in the morning. After coming back home late at night — sometimes around 2 AM — I take a shower and get a workout in before I finally sleep.
" He emphasised that his choice to restrict his meals is a personal one, unaffected by popular trends like intermittent fasting or structured diets. On the work front, SRK is working on his upcoming film, King, which also stars his daughter Suhana Khan. The actor has reunited with Pathaan director Siddharth Anand for the project.
