The video then cuts to Karan explaining her fitness plan, and how the actress went about with the plan.

He said, “The brief for ‘Cocktail 2’ was different than anything done before for Kriti. For the first time, she was doing a bikini scene. We were training six times a week. We had to have our abs showing. She had to be super toned, super fit, super lean throughout the movie”.

He further mentioned, “And the kind of training we did for it for this time, with her nutrition, with her sleep, with her food, we included a lot of inclined walks. She was eating a high protein diet. We were in a sort of a deficit, but along with a lot of strength training and basically staying active throughout the day. I mean, it was a challenge, but as you can see, she pulled it off”.

He also penned a long note in the caption, as he furnished the details of the fitness plan, as he wrote, “When @kritisanon and I first had a chat, we didn’t just have a fitness goal we had a director’s vision to bring to life. She was stepping into the role of Ally in Cocktail 2. And with that came something that pushed her harder than anything before her first ever bikini scene. That’s not just a physical challenge. That’s mental. That’s emotional. That’s showing up every single day even when you don’t feel like it. She had to be fit and lean, NOT SIZE ZERO! The brief was clear and uncompromising. Super lean. Super toned. Abs that actually show on camera. Strength that reads through the screen”.

He went on, “But this was the real challenge, don’t lose the glow. Don’t hollow out the face. The director @homster needed Ally to look fit AND luminous. Too lean and you lose that. Too soft and you miss the mark. That’s the fine line we walked. Every. Single. Week. Here’s what the journey looked like behind the scenes. Heavy strength training to build shape and definition. Incline walks for slow, sustainable fat burn without muscle loss Zone 2 cardio to keep the metabolism working without burning her out. Nutrition dialled in to protect the face while leaning the body. Regular director briefings factored into every phase of the plan Dedication. Consistency. Discipline. Kriti brought all three relentlessly”.“This wasn’t just about looking good for a scene. This was about honouring the character, the director’s vision, and most importantly,herself. Ally is real because @kritisanon made her real. So proud of you. This is just the beginning”, he added.

(Photo: miley cyrus/instagram)

Los Angeles, (IANS) Singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus has shared that she likes to be "reliably unpredictable". The 33-year-old singer said that she's not "super into astrology".

The singer-songwriter has described herself as a "logical wild card", reports ‘Female First UK’.

The chart-topping singer, who will celebrate her next birthday in November, told ‘Variety’, "I’m a Sagittarius. My sisters are Capricorns. I love Scorpios, Sagittariuses and Capricorns, that whole trifecta. I’m not super into astrology, but I know, by the book, what that means. I’m kind of a logical wild card, if that makes sense”.

She further mentioned, “I like to do something bold but also do my own math about it. I want to know what I want before I make a choice. But anything I say could be out the window tomorrow. I like to be reliably unpredictable”.

As per ‘Female First UK’, Miley emerged as a teen idol with her portrayal of Miley Stewart in the Disney series Hannah Montana between 2006 and 2011. And she has observed that "Hannah was like Mickey Mouse in her own way".

Asked what advice she'd give to her on-screen character, she said, "I mean, Hannah feels like she’s got it all figured out. I would tell her to definitely ditch the Season 1 wig and tell Disney that, you know, you get what you pay for! And then the other thing is, because I was her, I didn’t realise how important and how impactful she actually was. Hannah was like Mickey Mouse in her own way, she made people feel like they got this little piece of magic. I would want Hannah to ground into the Miley Stewart and know that that magic is from deep within. It’s not about the wig and the boots and the music. It’s about who you are underneath all that”.Earlier this year, Miley revealed that she willed the Hannah Montana anniversary special "into existence". The singer started discussing the prospect of making a 20th anniversary special before being approached about the idea.
