Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan made headlines last year when he opened up about his lifestyle that includes just five hours of sleep. Now, after nearly a year, an old interview of the actor has gone viral on social media, where the Jawan star can be seen sharing his food habits.
About eight years ago, in an interview with RJ Devanggana, Shah Rukh had given a sneak peek of his gym where he works out late at night and shared the food he has been eating for years.
Claiming that he doesn’t diet, Shah Rukh Khan said, “I naturally prefer very simple food. I eat two meals a day: lunch and dinner. I eat nothing apart from these two meals. Mujhe pakwan pasand nahi (I don’t like fancy foods). I eat sprouts, grilled chicken, broccoli, and sometimes a little bit of dal. This is all I have been eating repeatedly on a daily basis for several years.”
What makes Shah Rukh Khan’s approach unique is his adaptability. While he’s incredibly disciplined when eating alone, he fully embraces the joy of social dining. Whether it’s enjoying biryani at a friend’s home or indulging in ghee-laden parathas on a flight, he believes in respecting hospitality. “If someone offers me food, I eat whatever they’ve lovingly prepared. I don’t impose my rules at their table,” he said.
Shah Rukh also values traditional Indian eating customs—from sitting on the floor while dining to avoiding second helpings. “Let a little hunger linger. It’s good for your health,” he remarked in the same interview, echoing timeless advice.
With his fitness journey gaining momentum during the pandemic and his late-night workout routine still going strong, King Khan demonstrates that sustainable health isn’t about extremes—it’s all about balance, routine, and a sprinkle of old-school wisdom.
