‘B’eating the bulge (Abhishek)

If sources are to be believed, Abhishek Bachchan has been hitting the gym with a vengeance. Post his extended honeymoon, AB junior now wants to look better. The actor wants to shed 15 kilos and embrace a healthier lifestyle, inform his close friends. Apparently, he is already being careful about his food habits. Our source from the sets of Drona says, "Abhishek, who has always been a big foodie has been keeping a watch on what he eats."

This new development comes in the wake of Shah Rukh Khan sporting an awesome six-pack abs, which he has been flashing on-screen for Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om. An industry insider reveals, "Shah Rukh's in his new body beautiful avatar has prompted everybody in Bollywood to get into shape." Abhishek however, cannot be blamed entirely for his lagging fitness. The actor had to put on excess weight for the character of Gurukant Desai in Mani Ratnam's Guru. Immediately afterwards, he got busy with his wedding preparations followed by the celebrations.

Of late, the actor has been complaining about his body and that is when a friend of his recommended him to join a gym and follow a diet. Another source from the sets of Drona informs, "Abhishek's fat hasn't been a problem. He has just shot an action sequence for us and he has done a superb job."
