By Ians English
Tisca
Chopra
reveals
that
Anil
Kapoor
pushed
her
to
lose
weight
for
his
debut
TV
production
24
as
he
believed
that
good
looks
complement
good
work.
"He
has
always
encouraged
me.
He
came
and
saw
me
in
a
play
and
said,
'you
do
good
work
and
keep
doing
it.'
Then
when
I
got
signed
for
the
show,
he
told
me,
'you
will
do
a
great
work
if
you
lose
weight.
Work
hard,
good
looking,
good
acting,
that
is
the
mantra'," the
39-year-old
said
here
Thursday
at
the
promo
launch
of
the
show.
"Sharp
at
8
a.m.
I
would
get
an
sms,
'how
is
the
diet
going?' and
I
would
stop
eating
the
whole
day,"
she
said.
Anil
plays
the
lead
Jai
Singh
Rathod,
the
chief
of
anti-terrorist
unit
of
India
in
24,
while
Tisca
plays
his
wife.
"What
was
challenging
for
me
was
to
bring
the
quality
of
cinema
into
the
hours
of
television,
to
not
let
go
of
a
single
moment
of
authenticity
of
that
feeling,
intensity
and
to
continue
it
in
the
structure
of
television,
the
hours
and
all
that," she
said.
Tisca
had
been
part
of
TV
soaps
Kahaani
Ghar
Ghar
Ki.
The
serial
24
is
an

name
and

was
part
of
the
eighth
season
of
the
show.
The
Indian
adaptation
is
being
directed
by
Abhinay
Deo.
It
will
go
