Farhan Akhtar reveals how he went from hating drills to learning the discipline of a boxer

Unravelling his real struggle behind the strenuous training that went into looking the look of a boxer and portraying one, Farhan Akhtar took to his social media to share, "I hated drills. To wake up at 5am and think about that monster of a drill session waiting for me was, at times, good enough reason to make some random excuse and just stay in bed..!! But @drewnealpt got me to respect the discipline and with time I realised how much it helped in evolving my overall skills as a boxer. To quote the legendary Cus D’amato “Discipline is doing what you hate but doing it like you love it.” I guess that’s the mantra for improvement in any aspect of life, right? Thank you for the valuable lesson @drewnealpt @samir_jaura @darrellfoster#ToofaanUthega #21stMay #ToofaanOnPrime"
