Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar, who worked out hard to get a perfect six-pack abs for his 2013 entertainer "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag", says his two daughters were not so impressed with his beefed up physique.

"Honestly, I don't think they (my children) were so impressed by my six-pack abs. I think what they found very entertaining was the running," Farhan told IANS.

Recently, Farhan took part in racing events at his daughters' school, and he took the lead in all. His daughters Shakya and Akira were proud.

"They really saw the effects of it when I ran in the apparent race. That was truly an exciting moment for them. unfortunately, all the others were left far behind. So for them it was a nice moment of victory," said Farhan, who is married to celebrity hairstylist Adhuna Akhtar.

Currently, Farhan is busy promoting his forthcoming film "Shaadi Ke Side Effects".

He said: "This is a very relatable film about marriage and relationships. I hope everyone likes it."

Directed by Saket Chaudhary, the film also features Vidya Balan.
