Govinda's trainer Suniel Shetty

Suniel Shetty has always been health conscious. While shooting for Loot in Bangkok, he decided to pass on some this consciousness to co-star Govinda. He took over Chi Chi's health regime. All supplies of oily and creamy edibles was stopped. Govinda was served carbohydrates only for lunch. And  lots of fruits all day. Govinda was allowed to eat only special meals cooked by Suniel's cousin.

The results are spectacular. "I've lost eight kgs," says Govinda proudly. "I feel lighter and happier. I will continue to watch my weight even if Suniel isn't monitoring my weight," adds a happy Govinda.

It looks like drastic weight loss is the new fad in tinsel town. From Kareena Kapoor to Om Puri, everyone is into the new vogue of crash diets.
