This actor gained a SHOCKING 10 kgs for a new TV show

Actor Eijaz Khan has put on weight to play Mukhi in the new TV show "Yeh Moh Moh Ke Dhaage".

"The character is a mature man who had to take up a lot of responsibility at a very young age. Hence, he needed to look older than his age. Additionally, in the village that I stayed, a lot of men were not lean but on the slightly heavy side," Eijaz said in a statement.

Eijaz went on to gain 10 kg by eating his favourite dishes.

"I love sweets...favourite being gulab jamun, jalebi and chocolates. I can eat them pre-lunch, post lunch and even in between. In fact, the role was a blessing in disguise as I got to indulge my sweet tooth," he said.

"I had to be careful about what I ate before, but as Mukhi, I could eat whatever I wanted and how can one resist lovely Gujarati food," he added.

"Yeh Moh Moh Ke Dhaage" will be aired on Sony Entertainment Television starting from Tuesday.
