Lose Weight Safely Comments Off on Aravinnd Iyer talks about his weight loss plan, life during the lockdown and future projects – Times of India

Aravinnd, who is currently in Dubai, is making the most of the lockdown by focusing on losing weight, honing his cooking skills and working on new things including new scripts. Aravinnd tells us more...1.There have been many stories created during all the time people have had during this lockdown. But you have made yourself the story. Tell us about it. I reached Dubai before the lockdown and didn't realise the gravity of the situation back then. So, I started cooking and eating (laughs) and I still do, but I went overboard. I put on a lot of weight, so I thought I need to do something about it. I always keep reading a lot of about fitness, nutrition and the science behind it. I have applied this to my earlier projects and I can do it again. So, that's how it all began.

2. Out of the dishes you have cooked so far, which ones do you rate as your best creations so far?I liked the Saffron Red Pepper Sauce Paneer, the Green Curry that I made and the Amritsari Pindi Chole.

3. Considering your tryst with cooking, how tough has it been to stick to your weight loss plan?Its all in the mind. I'm not going on any fancy diet, I'm just following good nutrition and the science behind it. I ensure that I consume the necessary calories needed. I eat dal, rice and eggs even now but in the required quantities and also exercise as much as I need to.

5. What has been the kind of response you have got from fans. Have they shared their weight loss journey/ challenges too?The response has been good. A lot of people connected to my post and said that were facing something similar, whether they have been not able to lose weight. A lot of people have messaged, but I am not trying to tell people that they should be doing this or that.

6. What are you going to miss most about being under lockdown?To be honest, I'm dying to be on a film set. But, this lockdown has given me a lot of time. I had a list of things to do and the website was a part of that list. I have been putting up my blogs on that. In the past couple of weeks, I have been reading scientific papers on nutrition and even gave an exam as well on the same. As of now, I am taking up a course on nutritional science.

7. How long do you think the film industry will take to make up for the lost time and the lost revenue?Given the ambiguity of the situation, I don't know what the solution is going to be. I'm not sure if people will make content only for OTT platforms, I don't think that may work also. However, one of the solutions, which I saw here in Dubai was to have drive-in theatres. I wish something like that comes up in Bengaluru. People are coming up with innovative ways. I was watching Pawan Kumar's videos on what he thinks the near future will be or how the industry can sustain, which I really enjoyed.

8. How different do you feel things will be post lockdown?My information is purely based on what I read in the Bangalore Times or on the internet. The new normal that seems to be doing the rounds is that work from home may be permanent for many people. It's about finding a balance. There will be a lot of changes but I do hope that people come back to theatre to watch films because that is an experience or go to a stadium to watch cricket matches. I don't know how it will be but lets see.
