Shaping u the body to fit into different kinds of role is a part and parcel of an actor’s life. Aham Sharma of Siddharth Kumar Tewary’s ‘Mahabharat’ fame, is the latest celebrity to follow this practice for two different roles. The actor confessed recently that he had to lose around 10 kilos for a film which he shot after getting done with ‘Mahabharat’.

Aham will now be seen playing the lead in Siddharth Kumar Tewary's Manmarziyan for which he has had to go through another fitness regime. "It has been quite a drilling exercise since the past two years," says the actor. "To fit into the role, one has to constantly manipulate diets, hit the gym; while you look leaner for one role, you need to look bulkier for the other. For ‘Manmarziyan,’ I have had to gain weight. So I increased more proteins —chicken breast and egg whites — in my diet. I did not succumb to eating cheese sandwiches or sweets because that would mean eating more fat. But I guess, reducing or putting on weight does not matter so much when you get a good role. This is a part of our job and if everyone else can do it, I am no different."
