No breakfast, 10 hours of sleep and cake on the menu: Akshaye Khanna’s surprisingly simple food & fitness mantra revealed 10 : Bollywood News

In an era where celebrity diets are often defined by rigid routines, early-morning workouts and carefully measured portions, Akshaye Khanna’s approach to food and life feels strikingly old-school—and refreshingly honest. Speaking candidly about his daily habits, with Bollywood Hungama, Rehman Dakait from Dhurandhar opens up about his daily routine, eating habits and diet philosophy and the revelations are as unorthodox as they are intriguing.

No breakfast, 10 hours of sleep and cake on the menu: Akshaye Khanna’s surprisingly simple food & fitness mantra revealedOne of the most surprising revelations is his complete avoidance of breakfast, a habit he has followed for decades without exception. As Akshaye puts it, “For as long as I can remember, even today, I never eat breakfast. I go straight to lunch and then dinner, and even between lunch and dinner I don’t eat anything at all, not even a sandwich or a biscuit.” Evenings are kept equally minimal. “In the evening, I just have a cup of tea, that’s it,” he adds, underlining how firmly he sticks to his routine.

Rest, however, plays a major role in his lifestyle. Unlike many actors who operate on erratic sleep cycles, Akshaye values downtime and balance. “I sleep about 10 hours a day,” he shares matter-of-factly, making it clear that adequate rest is non-negotiable for him.

When it comes to meals, Akshaye’s preferences lean towards wholesome, home-style food. His lunch is structured yet uncomplicated. “For lunch, I mostly eat dal and rice with one vegetable and one chicken or fish or some non-veg dish,” he says. Dinner follows a similarly straightforward pattern. “At night I usually eat roti with one vegetable and one chicken dish, and that’s what I mostly eat.”

Despite his disciplined eating habits, Akshaye has no shortage of favourites and they are delightfully relatable. “My favourite foods are lychee, bhindi and cake,” he admits, instantly breaking the stereotype of restrictive celebrity diets. When it comes to rotis and grains, he keeps it simple too. “Sometimes I do it, but mostly I prefer normal roti,” he says, adding that indulgence isn’t something he shies away from. “I can eat anything sweet.”

What stands out most is that his diet remains unchanged even during demanding shooting schedules. “It’s the same even when I am not shooting, there is no difference,” Akshaye explains, reinforcing his belief in consistency over temporary adjustments.

In a film industry often obsessed with transformation and extremes, Akshaye Khanna’s lifestyle philosophy stands out for its restraint and realism. No breakfast, no snacking, plenty of sleep and a fondness for cake his routine may defy conventional wisdom, but it’s a reminder that knowing what works for oneself can be the simplest formula of all.
