Tamil actor Chiyaan Vikram once revealed that he followed an extremely restrictive diet while preparing to portray a frail, emaciated character in Sethu, eating just one dry chapati, beetroot juice and one egg white through the day while walking about 30 km daily. Consultant dietitian and fitness expert Garima Goyal stressed that this was a role-specific routine and should not be treated as a general diet recommendation, noting that meal frequency should be individualised and that overall nutrition matters more. She pointed out that a diet limited to chapati, beetroot juice and egg whites would not provide the full range of nutrients needed for long-term health, and emphasised the importance of adequate energy, protein, fibre, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. Vikram's extensive walking also highlights that everyday movement, such as walking, taking stairs and reducing prolonged sitting, can contribute meaningfully to physical activity.
