Lakshya Lalwani, the protagonist of The Ba*ds of Bollywood, attributes his physique to an 18-year commitment to a 100% natural body, avoiding all steroids and substances. Consultant dietitian Kanikka Malhotra notes that this dedication is a "study in cellular discipline," focusing on metabolic efficiency and genuine physiological adaptation over mere aesthetics. Lalwani's goal was to look like an agile commando, not a bulky bodybuilder, ensuring his physique didn't impede his action sequences. Malhotra explains that this focus on functionality, agility, and strength naturally sustains testosterone, prevents cortisol spikes, and builds long-lasting, lean neuromuscular strength. His method, which prioritizes aligning training with recovery science, proper nutrition for cellular repair, and mental stillness, serves as an inspiration that challenges today's shortcut-driven fitness culture.
