On his dietary preparations, Zayn said, “Yes, specifically for 'Gunaah', what I did was that I took a high-calorie meal once a week. But since we were preparing for the jail sequence and the fight sequence and our makers put that scene on the last day of the schedule, I was on a diet for a good 10-12 days. Also, on the day of the fight scene, I was not drinking any water throughout the day. I was just sipping and trying to remove all the water from my body.”

He added, “But I would like to request that people not do this without any professional supervision. Because you have a lot of water weight in your body, and in order to look more sharp, I did that. And I don't think there's any particular thing that I want to avoid because I usually don't eat unhealthy and junk food. So, particularly for this, I didn't do anything. I didn't have to go the extra mile for this.”

Zayn is also seen in the Tv show Suhagan Chudail. Speaking of the show Zayn said, “Everybody knows that I am a fitness freak, and I always maintain my shape and my body. You'll see a different physique in every show. So since I always maintain my physique, I am always on a diet. People confuse a diet with healthy eating and healthy living. So I am a healthy person, I eat healthy stuff.”

He added, “And specifically, when you're doing some bare body sequences, some fighting sequences, the first thing is that people forget that you have to maintain that agility. You have to be so agile, and you have to be flexible in the first place. When you're building your muscles, people tend to forget that they have to maintain their physique to look good on screen and also to perform a certain scene.”
