Manoj Bajpayee has revealed that he has not had dinner for more than a decade now in order to take care of his health. In a recent conversation, Manoj Bajpayee opened up about his decision to skip his dinner from the daily routine entirely and how he took inspiration from his own grandfather for the same.

On being asked how long has it been that the actor has let go of dinner, Manoj said, "13-14 saal ho gaye. I realized ki yaar ki mere grandfather bahut duble patle the... Aur bahut hi fit rehte the hamesha, toh I thought let me follow what he used to eat. Fir woh shuru jab maine kiya then mera wazan jo he control hona shuru hua. Mein kaafi energetic bhi feel kara aur kaafi healthy feel karna shuru kar diya. Then that was the time I decided that I will stick with this. Phir usme tweaking ye ki maine... fasting kabhi 12 ghante ka 14 ghante ka... raat ka dinner maine dheere dheere hatana shuru kiya.... After lunch, the kitchen is non-operational. It only operates when our daughter is back from hostel." he said in the interview with Curly Tales. (It has been 13-14 years. I saw how my grandfather had a thin frame and was always fit. So I followed him and started to eat which helped me loose weight. I also felt a lot more healthy. I used to tweak it by fasting for 12 hours to 14 hours and slowly, I got rid of having dinner completely.)

Manoj revealed that initially it was very difficult to maintain this routine. So, he used to drink a lot of water and eat some healthy biscuits to kill his hunger. The actor also said that following this lifestyle also has a lot of effective results and keeps the body away from several diseases and disorders like diabetes, cholesterol and heart-related diseases.
