Talking his transformation, Amitt shared: "I gained 15 kgs for a film in November last year. The real challenge started when I had to lose extra inches for Ranju ki Betiyaan's introduction scene. When I came to know that my character's (Rajveer) introduction scene starts from a pool, and I have to be ultra-fit with abs and a chiseled body, I found this very difficult yet exciting."

"Rajveer is an outrageous boy. My trainer and I discussed how my character's body structure should be, and we came to the conclusion that he should have lean swimmer's body and not a very muscular bulky frame. When we started training, it seemed difficult to achieve what we wanted, but with hours of intense workout sessions, proper rest and a strict diet, we could achieve what we desired," the 29-year-old actor added.

The drama series "Ranju Ki Betiyaan" airs on Dangal TV.
