New Delhi, June 12 Actor Gurmeet Choudhary, who is all geared up for his upcoming series 'Commander Karan Saxena' shared about the dietary restrictions that he has followed for the titular role, saying he eliminated processed foods, and sugary snacks, and junk food from his diet, and instead focused on lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats to fuel his body.
Gurmeet, who is known for his work in 'Ramayan', and 'Geet-Hui Sabse Parayi' told IANS: "Fitness and diet go together when it comes to physical training for any character.
