By Desk On Aug 17, 2024

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently offered fans an intimate look into his daily routine and life during his five-year break from the film industry. In an interview with The Guardian, the actor discussed his time away, his activities during the pandemic, and his much-anticipated return with the upcoming film, King.

Reflecting on his hiatus, Khan, now in his 50s, emphasized the necessity of the break. “At this age, I needed a long holiday from work to come back stronger,” he stated.

During the COVID-19 lockdown, Khan, like many others, found himself with an abundance of free time. He dedicated this period to fitness and even explored Italian cooking. “I was telling everyone to learn Italian dishes and exercise. I even managed to get in shape during the pandemic,” he shared proudly.

Khan acknowledged that a four to five-year break is unusual for a major star, but his fans’ unwavering support motivated him to return. “My fans missed me, and it was their love that pulled me back into the world of films,” he admitted.

As he gears up for King, Khan is diving back into a rigorous work schedule. The film, which was suggested by one of his office staff, will require him to undergo a physical transformation, including weight loss and a refined appearance. “I need to start shooting, lose weight, and focus on my looks,” he mentioned, hinting at the challenges ahead.

Despite his demanding schedule, Khan’s daily routine remains unconventional. “I sleep at 5 am, and if I’m shooting, I wake up by 9 or 10 am,” he revealed. His workdays often stretch late into the night, with a strict regimen that includes a post-shoot shower and a 30-minute workout. “On shooting days, I get home around 2 am, take a mandatory shower, and then work out,” he said.

When it comes to his diet, Khan keeps it simple. “I only eat one meal a day,” he confessed, showcasing his disciplined lifestyle.

Fans are eagerly anticipating Shah Rukh Khan’s return to the big screen in King, where he will be joined by his daughter, Suhana Khan, making her acting debut. Additionally, Abhishek Bachchan is set to play a negative role in the film. With such an intense routine and a major film on the horizon, King Khan is clearly preparing for a spectacular comeback.
