STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Talking about his recognitions, Eric states, 'It's a good feeling. When I got my first award for Love Aaj Kal in 2010, it was an amazing feeling since I bagged 4 nominations out of total 5 in the category. I had always aspired to get awards like my seniors. I felt out of the world. Post that, I got awards for I I Hate Luv Storys, Dabangg, Barfi, Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain etc.' 'It was a dangerous feeling too since pride can seep in. I have gone through the feeling that I am indispensable which is not good. I realised this over a period of time. I don't go to collect my awards generally except for three of them,' he further says. 'I like to connect with reality. For me, these awards are a good opportunity to be recognised but the reality is my work. 2025 is my 29th year of working in the industry. Working on a mix everyday is the biggest award for me,' he adds.

Sonu Sood's dedication to fitness is consistently admired by his followers. Many of his fans often pose curious questions about his workout and diet plans on social media. Recently, celebrity trainer Yogesh Bhateja opened up about Sood's remarkable fitness routine and unwavering discipline. Sonu Sood's Fracture After Playing Cricket 03:01 Sonu Sood Rescues Snake With Bare Hands, Urges Fans Not to Try It In a podcast episode with Nitin Bajaj, Yogesh recalled how his journey with Sood began. He was watching Salman Khan's 'Dabangg' on television at home when he saw Sonu on the screen. He suddenly told his brother that Sonu had the potential to develop a great physique. Later, a friend from Mumbai offered Bhateja a chance to take over a gym slot. Sood once arrived at the gym on crutches. Bhateja said, 'One day I saw him walk into the gym on crutches, and I was trying to figure out what had happened. He had actually been injured while playing in the Celebrity Cricket League, which was held in Dubai.' The actor later discovered he had suffered multiple fractures in his leg. 'He fractured his leg in seven different places… He had a platinum plate inserted, and within 15 days, he was back in the gym,' Bhateja revealed. Sonu Sood Never Skips a Workout Bhateja shared that the actor never skips a workout, regardless of the occasion.

Sonu's Balanced Diet Plan However, Bhateja noticed some imbalances in muscle development due to overtraining certain areas. He then curated a number of exercises to target Sonu's weaker muscle groups. The actor was in excellent shape when he shot for 'R... Rajkumar'. Bhateja also broke down the actor's strict diet, which rarely changes. 'He will start with 5–6 eggs, sweet potato, and sometimes papaya. There will be a protein shake after the workout with another 5–6 eggs. Lunch is simple and comprises dal, rice, a vegetable dish, and salad. There is another protein shake in the evening, and for dinner, there are sautéed vegetables with some more eggs,' he explained.

Sonu Sood's trainer spills secrets of his ripped physique: Inside the star's relentless workout and no-cheat diet
Synopsis Sonu Sood's dedication to fitness, marked by consistency and discipline, is highlighted by his coach, Yogesh Bhateja. Bhateja reveals Sood's unwavering commitment to training, even through injuries and holidays.

(Image: Instagram/ Sonu Sood) In a world obsessed with fitness fads and short-term transformations, actor Sonu Sood's physique stands as a testament to consistency, willpower, and unshakable discipline. While Bollywood's more publicised body makeovers often steal the limelight, Sood's quietly sculpted frame tells a longer, more persistent story. And now, the man behind that transformation—his longtime fitness coach Yogesh Bhateja—has finally lifted the lid on what keeps the actor in superhero shape. Speaking on Nitin Bajaj's podcast, Bhateja painted a vivid picture of what it's like to train someone who refuses to skip a workout—even with a broken leg or during national holidays. 'Sonu will never miss a single workout. He'll train on Holi, Diwali, and New Year's Day. And I'm right there with him,' Bhateja revealed. Bhateja recalled how he had visualised working with Sonu years before it actually happened. 'I was watching Dabangg and said to my brother, 'This man has the potential for a great physique; he just doesn't know it yet.'' That manifestation turned into reality when a friend in Mumbai asked Bhateja to take over a celebrity gym due to scheduling conflicts. The actor who walked in? None other than Sonu Sood. What impressed the trainer even more was Sood's grit. 'He once walked into the gym on crutches. I found out he had fractured his leg in seven places during the Celebrity Cricket League in Dubai. Within 15 days of inserting a platinum plate, he was back in the gym,' he added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sonu Sood (@sonu_sood) For those expecting an elaborate and exotic meal plan, Bhateja's revelations are both surprising and grounding. Sonu's diet is simple and consistent—almost monk-like. 'He begins his day with 5–6 eggs, sweet potato, and sometimes papaya. Post-workout, there's a protein shake and more eggs. Lunch is straightforward—dal, rice, sabzi, and salad. Evening calls for another shake, and dinner usually includes sautéed vegetables and more eggs,' Bhateja detailed. And if he ever indulges? 'He confesses if he's had a samosa,' the trainer laughed. When Bhateja first started working with Sood, he noticed an intense but imbalanced workout pattern. 'His warm-up alone consisted of 100 push-ups, several sets on parallel bars, pull-ups, and 100 bent-knee leg raises. He was overtraining some areas while neglecting others. I designed exercises to trigger underworked muscles. By the time was being shot, he was in peak form,' he said.
