Sonu Sood and SRK bond over fitness

Shah Rukh Khan and Sonu Sonu will be seen together in Farah Khan’s dance heist Happy New Year. Both known for their affinity to building a good body have been exchanging notes and bonding over fitness. “We always talk about fitness. Yesterday morning I was with him till 5 am and we were talking about fitness,” says Sood. 

Did they work out together? “During Dubai schedule we worked out together. SRK is very fit.” While SRK worked towards a six pack in his last outing with Farah’s Om Shanti Om, Sonu had displayed a well built body to match Salman Khan’s robustness in Dabbang. It’s natural that they bonded over the same. “We bond over conversations about fitness, diet as those are things we have in common. We both work out in the middle of the night at home or with trainers even when not on shoots. When you know what your goals are, time doesn’t really matter. You just work hard.”

Both have also survived injuries and come out stronger. Sonu was bedridden for 3-4 months after he sustained multiple fractures at a freak accident at Celebrity Cricket League in Dubai last year. “I credit a good lifestyle, diet, no smoking or drinking to a faster recovery along with physiotherapy for my fast recovery.” Sonu’s doctor had told him that it would take 10-11 months to recovery but he bounced back faster.

Sonu recalls feeling determined to come back stronger after the injury and that determination seems to have paid off. Post Entertainment with Akshay Kumar, he will be seen with SRK in HNY. “For a while I was told to strictly avoid any stunts so we used a double in some scenes initially last year. That time I couldn’t walk also but by God’s grace am much better now. For all you know you might even see me shake a leg with SRK in HNY.”
