Physical TransformationIn 2023, he had a specific schedule and diet plan to gain and then lose weight for his first web series called 'Rafuchakkar.' To prepare for the role, he gained 10 kilograms of weight, which took nearly two months. After that, it took him two and a half months to get back to his previous shape. In an interview, while talking about his body transformation, he said,

"I have always been a fitness enthusiast, although not a gym freak but I have been working for a healthy body. However, Rafuchakkar put me on a roller coaster ride of physical transformation. As I play a con artist, I have five different looks and avatars. Shedding my fit-healthy body for one of the looks as Pawan Kumar Bawariya, I had to resemble an ordinary middle-class and middle-aged guy with a paunch, for which I gained 10 Kgs. For another look, I had to lose weight as well as gain muscles to play a gym trainer. As I had just finished Jugjugg Jeeyo, I had hardly four months to do these drastic changes."
