Ali Merchant who is currently seen in two dailies is busy sweating out these days.

We wonder why? Has SRK inspired Ali so much that he too wants to say me too? The fact is that the actor has received a good offer from a known television production house to play the lead. And he wants to look hot and happening for his new avatar.

“I’ve two offers for a lead role but nothing has been finalised. One of the shows needs me to have ribbed abs and body. This offer attracted me but I was given very little time to build up my body- just two to three months,” moans Ali Merchant.

Can you tell us about the two new ventures? “As I said nothing is finalised so I can’t tell you anything. All I can say is that it will not be aired on any new channel,” he verbalises.

“I already have two dailies in my hand which makes my schedule very hectic. I’m shooting and gyming so there is very little time left to do anything else. If I’m able to build a muscular body then I think the project will be on,” he adds

So then what does your exercise regime consist of? “Well I’m looking out for more muscularity. I go to the gym every morning. As I want to build more muscles I normally do weights. I balance my regime with cardio and weights on alternative days. I do 500 to 600 abs when I do only for cardio,” he informs.

And what does your diet consist of? “It’s only boiled food and juices. I go for 6 short meals every three hours and skip dinner. I see to it that I have a lot of Aloevera juice as it will help me to stay away from dehydration and will also keep me fit.”

Is Bollywood on the cards? “Definitely it is but after two years. Now I just want to focus on my television career. The difference between the two screens has literally come to an end with more and more Bollywood stars participating in television events. Television is more attractive these days,” he concludes.
