We have heard of fruit, vegan and even detox diets but who’s ever heard of an idli diet? Well, if someone has, it is Abhishek Bachchan. After putting on oodles of weight for his role of a street smart businessman in Guru, the actor required to shed all of it for his next ‘Dostana’. A film that will see him co-starring with John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra, two of the fittest bods in the industry, Abhishek clearly couldn’t afford even a bit of laxity when it came to getting back in shape.

And so, apart from hitting the gym, Abhishek decided to go in for an intense idli sambhar diet. So every day on the breakfast table at the Bachchan household, Abhishek would find his paratha plates replaced with bowls full of steaming hot idlis . With a regime like this, we are sure the actor has outwitted even his counterparts down South.
