Ranveer Singh is off alcohol, Nutella and sweets for ‘Befikre’

An actor going to great lengths to get into the skin of the character is not uncommon. This time it’s the ever exuberant Ranveer Singh who is completely off from alcohol, Nutella and all other sweets.

Ranveer admits that he cannot do without caffeine, Nutella and music. In fact, he calls them his “bare necessities”. But for his upcoming flick ‘Befikre’, the actor has been instructed by his trainer to stay away from everything sweet and he has to do away with his first love, Nutella.

His trainer Lloyd Stevens who is a London-based fitness trainer and transformation expert had earlier worked with Ranveer in 2013 for Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed ‘Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela’. He has admitted that the actor is off sweets, aerated drinks, junk food and alcohol, as he films his upcoming romantic-comedy. Lloyd had flown down to Paris and was travelling with him as they worked together towards maintaining this athletic look.

Lloyd said to a daily, “I had only watched Hollywood movies all my life but Ranveer is passionate about his work and entertaining to be around, so it was fun. Today, he’s a big star and a perfectionist. He continues to be a natural born entertainer and is a great person to train with. Despite his phenomenal popularity, Ranveer remains grounded, especially with his fans.” The training has been different this time because Ranveer had just a month-and-a-half to get out of his suave Bajirao avatar and become a more athletic hero.
