It’s an austerity drive for Rohit Roy.

But it has nothing to do with following the netas. The actor, who is in town to dub for Pa Ma Ga Re Saa, has completely gone off partying. And the reason is neither recession nor spiritualism. It’s just a measure to look fit for his next Hindi film, which, has been tentatively titled as Sex, Crime and Jack Daniels!

Talking to CT about the no-more-parties-for-me credo, Rohit said, “I have given up alcohol, sweets and all fried food. I’m on a zero fat diet. Since I play a swimmer in the film, I am coaching under Anand Sir, who is a former swimming champion. So strict is my regimen that it is keeping me away from even stepping out of my house for parties, where friends, I know, will force me to eat and drink.

This film, which will be directed by me, requires me to be in good nick.”

While temptations will be there, Rohit doesn’t mind making this “small sacrifice for a larger gain”. And that’s not all. The austerity drive has caught on like addiction in the Roy household! “My wife is helping me shape up. Mansi has got so charged that she works out with me and has promised to lose 10 kilos herself,” Roy adds.
Well, Mansi doesn’t have much time on hand to keep her promise since shooting begins in November.
