Mumbai: Sonu Sood is set to make his directorial debut with the action drama ‘Fateh.’
The actor, who is popular for his well-built physique and healthy lifestyle, recently revealed that ‘Sikandar’ actor Salman Khan had once tried to spike his drink.
While speaking to Jist, Sonu shared that he never drinks, but once Salman had tried to coax him into consuming alcohol by spiking his drink.
“I don’t drink at all. Many co-stars have tried to make me try alcohol ki ‘Isko aaj try karva ke rahenge; (We will make him try today). Many have tried spiking my drink secretly. Salman bhai ko bada shauk rehta tha, kehte ki, ‘Ek kaam kar zara, Red Bull ke andar daal ke laa thodi (He used to tell me to mix some alcohol in Red Bull),” Sonu told Jist.
He added, “He used to hand me a glass slyly, and I used to give it back. He kept looking at my glass if I gave it to someone else. When someone has a hobby of drinking, they like others to drink as well, which is fine. But nahi pee kabhi (I never tried alcohol), I never felt like it.”
Revealing his diet, Sonu shared he is a strict vegetarian. He eats a “small bowl of dal and rice” in the afternoon, “egg-white omelette, salad, avocado, sauteed vegetables or papaya” for breakfast.
Sonu is eagerly awaiting the release of ‘Fateh,’ a film inspired by real-life instances during the COVID-19 pandemic. His maiden directorial venture revolves around the fight against cybercrime.
The film also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Vijay Raaz, and Naseeruddin Shah in key roles. Produced by Shakti Sagar Productions and Zee Studios, ‘Fateh’ is slated to hit theatres on January 10.
