Kiara Advani’s striking physique in War 2 became one of the film’s most talked-about aspects when it released last year. In a film with Hrithik Roshan one still couldn’t get their eyes off Kiara Advani’s screen presence and physique.
During a recent conversation, her nutritionist Nicole Linhares was asked about this very shift in attention. The interviewer pointed out that for years, male actors have largely defined the conversation around ideal physiques in Bollywood, adding that it was interesting to see people talking about Kiara’s fitness even in a film featuring Hrithik Roshan. He also asked how different it is to plan nutrition and fitness for a male actor versus a female actor.
Responding to the question, Nicole explained that the difference primarily comes down to biology and hormones, which makes preparing female actors a much more careful process. She said, “The main difference is hormones. It’s way easier for men to get where they have to get because testosterone is the main hormone running. They can lose fat easily and put on muscle faster, so getting abs works more in their favour.”
She added, “For females, you have to be more protective than aggressive because you’re dealing with cortisol, thyroid, progesterone and estrogen, and you have to make sure all of that is balanced. Crash diets or strict timelines can disrupt this. That’s why with female clients we start much earlier. A male actor’s transformation can happen in two months, but a female body takes about four months if you want to do it the healthy way. With Kiara, that’s exactly what we did. She told me very clearly that she didn’t want to do anything unsustainable or crash. The focus was on calculated nutrition—planning calories, the timing of meals, and ensuring she had enough energy to sustain long shoot schedules while achieving the look.”
Nicole added that the approach was built around consistency and teamwork, ensuring Kiara could maintain both her fitness and the stamina required during filming.
Following the buzz around War 2, Kiara continues to stay in the spotlight as she gears up for her next big project, Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, which has already generated significant curiosity among fans.
