Athiya Shetty won`t talk about `Ram Lakhan` remake

New Delhi: She made her big screen debut with Salman Khan production's 'Hero' opposite another newcomer Sooraj Pancholi. Yes, undoubtedly it is Athiya Shetty that we are referring to.

The star kid received a lot of appreciation from the viewers over her debut performance. And guess what? She already has another project in her kitty!

The rumour mills are agog with Athiya been roped in to play female lead in 'Ram Lakhan' remake. However, when she was recently quizzed over the same, Athiya very politely refused to comment rather she smilingly diverted the question.

'Ram Lakhan' is a remake of the 1989 blockbuster, which will be produced by Karan Johar. 

The 22-year-old did not say anything and just smiled, thereby keeping up the suspense, and instead preferred to talk about celebrity fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala's work. "I love Yasmin's work," was all that she said.

Athiya was speaking at the launch of Karachiwala's book - "Sculpt AND Shape". Her 'Hero' co-star Sooraj Pancholi was also present at the event.

"I think Akshay Kumar is the fittest actor in Bollywood. He doesn't get fit for a role...He is naturally fit and has that energy. He eats right and has a healthy life. Among actresses, I think Katrina Kaif is the fittest," the actress said.

Athiya, daughter of actor Suniel Shetty, said fitness is important for celebrities as they have to look good on screen.

"Fitness is extremely important for actors especially as we have to look good on screen. Otherwise also one should be fit. Mind and body should be in sync. One should not only just look fit but also eat healthy. One can be fit in different shapes and sizes," she maintained.
