Kriti Sanon is all set to showcase a brand-new avatar in Cocktail 2, and her fitness trainer Karan Sawhney has now offered fans a glimpse into the hard work that went into preparing the actress for the role. Taking to social media, Karan detailed the transformation journey that helped Kriti embody her character Ally, a role that demanded a lean, toned, and camera-ready physique while maintaining a healthy and radiant appearance.
Sharing his experience of working with the actress, Karan revealed that the transformation was driven not just by fitness goals but also by director Homi Adajania’s vision for the character. “When @kritisanon and I first had a chat, we didn’t just have a fitness goal we had a director’s vision to bring to life.” “She was stepping into the role of Ally in Cocktail 2. And with that came something that pushed her harder than anything before her first ever bikini scene. That’s not just a physical challenge. That’s mental. That’s emotional. That’s showing up every single day even when you don’t feel like it. She had to be fit and lean, NOT SIZE ZERO!”, he added
According to Karan, the brief from the makers was very specific. Kriti needed to appear athletic and toned on screen, but without losing the natural glow that the character required. “The brief was clear and uncompromising. Super lean. Super toned. Abs that actually show on camera. Strength that reads through the screen. But this was the real challenge, don’t lose the glow. Don’t hollow out the face. The director @homster needed Ally to look fit AND luminous. Too lean and you lose that. Too soft and you miss the mark.”
“That’s the fine line we walked. Every. Single. Week.” The trainer also broke down the regimen that formed the foundation of Kriti’s transformation. “Here’s what the journey looked like behind the scenes - Heavy strength training to build shape and definition - Incline walks for slow, sustainable fat burn without muscle loss - Zone 2 cardio to keep the metabolism working without burning her out - Nutrition dialled in to protect the face while leaning the body - Regular director briefings factored into every phase of the plan”
Praising Kriti’s commitment to the process, he added, “Dedication. Consistency. Discipline. Kriti brought all three relentlessly. This wasn’t just about looking good for a scene. This was about honouring the character, the director’s vision, and most importantly, herself. Ally is real because @kritisanon made her real.” He concluded, “So proud of you. This is just the beginning.”
