The Fitness Advice That Worked Like Magic

Hrithik, ever the fitness enthusiast, gave Esha simple yet powerful advice. He suggested that during outdoor shoots, she should wake up early, have a cup of black coffee on an empty stomach, and go for a run of 45 minutes to an hour. Post-run, he recommended eating a banana to refuel. Esha followed this routine religiously and was amazed at the transformation.

“He was kind enough to guide me, and it worked wonders. I just ran every morning, and I could feel the difference,” said Esha, expressing her gratitude to Hrithik.

Natural Athleticism and Genes Also Played a Role

Apart from following Hrithik’s guidance, Esha acknowledged that her athletic background and good genes also contributed to her transformation. She mentioned that her body had an inherent muscle memory from her sporty childhood, and shedding extra layers of fat brought her athletic build back to life.

The Iconic Dhoom Look

Esha Deol’s ripped and lean look in Dhoom became a trendsetter back in 2004, inspiring many fitness enthusiasts. The film’s success and her glamorous avatar left a lasting impression, proving that dedication and the right guidance can work wonders.

With her disciplined routine and Hrithik’s valuable tips, Esha achieved the look that set the screens on fire. To this day, fans remember her iconic transformation and how she embraced fitness to fit the part.

On the work front, Esha Deol is seen in Tumko Meri Kasam which is directed by Vikram Bhatt. Film also stars veteran actor Anupam Kher, Adah Sharma and others released on March 21, 2025.
