Jackky Bhagnani took up a ripped abdomen as a challenge just a few weeks away from the schedule fixed from his Boom Boom song in the movie Azab Ghazab Love but that did not deter him from achieving a bold look with an eight pack which he flaunted bare-torso in the song.

Success doesn't come overnight. Here is how he did it. The extremely tough challenge in the part was food. He ate minimally just as much as required for him to survive with the gym sessions. No salt was included and sweet was strictly off the menu. Two one hour workout sessions once in the morning and once in the evening with the supervision of a trainer coupled with a small meal every two hours helped him to get ripped in just six weeks.

A no to all the parties, disciplined life with a compulsory sleep of seven hours had made it seem a bit easier than it is. But he admits that he had no life during this period of training. If you think adhering to the schedule which doesn't appear hectic try including the dance classes and practice sessions in between after the enervating exercises. He also had to go with a different hip hop style of dancing as opposed to his conventional style of popping and locking to give the "ease of dancing" look and feel.

He said, "It wasn't easy. I didn't have a life, but at the end of it all, I'm glad it was worth the effort. It feels great that the song is looking good", sporting a smile that indicated his happiness with the final results. Speaking of the song, if it would be a hit like Chaar Baj Gaye from his F.A.L.T.U, he says, "I hope so, because it's a feel good number. This song has the vibe to make you feel happy, whether you're listening to it at home, while driving or at a club."
