Chetan Hansraj--Flab-bergasting!

At 110 kgs, Chetan Hansraj was beginning to look mammoth. Now he's on a weight loss programme

If it weren't for a movie offer, Chetan Hansraj would be a flabby, complacent, ex-hero. Now Chetan is on the run. He's jogging and working out furiously to get rid of extra pounds. He's gone on a crash diet and has renewed his membership at a gym. Chetan says, "I work out for one-and-a-half hours every day. I have stopped having oily food. I am having a lot of protein and fibre-based foods and juices. I always try to have my dinner before 7.30 p.m, as eating late at night leads to weight gain." When Chetan was a model, he won the Gladrags Best Physique Award for his six pack abs. The taut physic was obviously due to his tight workout regime. With his flourishing TV career, his workout regime went haywire. He kept himself busy with loads of television assignments, and his emphasis on health got sidelined. As a result, his weight increased by 15-20 kgs. "My height is 6 ft 3 inches, and my weight was 90 kgs then. But, shooting for serials day in and day out messed up everything and my weight increased. The unhealthy food on the sets coupled with no exercise has made me fat. Now, I want to get rid of this flab," Chetan says. All his friends started pulling his leg for his excessive weight. He was embarrassed and decided to put an end to it all. Now, the actor has cut down on his work considerably. "My track in Prithviraj Chauhan has come to an end. And I am also not shooting for Virrudh in the coming months. The only show I am doing is a reality show called Fun on the Run (Indian version of Amazing Race). I have loads of time and health is of utmost importance now," he adds. Chetan has already lost seven kgs and aims to gain his earlier shape in the next two weeks. The actor also tries to avoid parties. "If I go to parties, I end up drinking which is very bad for health. However, there are some parties I just can't avoid, then I try to leave as soon as possible," he adds. * The unhealthy food on the sets coupled with no exercise has made me fat.
