MUMBAI, December 1, 2016 (GPN) : What Aamir Khan did for his upcoming film DANGAL, deserves all our praises.

Once again he has  transformed himself to the character ensued. Aamir Khan weight loss journey is an inspiration to everyone.

The film has two phases. For one part, Aamir Khan had to put on weight. He weighed 97 kgs with 38 percent body fat and that he had to reduce to 9 percent body fat within five months. That was a huge task.

Khan said,while talking to GPN NETWORK,“I suggested to the director that I should put on weight first as 80 percent of the film revolves around my fat avatar. Also, if I shoot those parts later then I will be left with no motivation to shed the extra kilos.”

Thus began his journey of weight gain which he thoroughly enjoyed. To gain weight in the initial part, Khan gorged on everything, from brownies to samosas, chocolates, ice creams and cakes everyday.” This helped him reach the mark of 97 kg from 70 kg.

Along with the diet, Aamir Khan had a strict exercise regimen that included a lot of weight lifting. The makers of the Nitesh Tiwari’s biopic, Dangal, which is all set to release on December 23, have released a Fat to Fit video. This 5-minute 20-seconds, behind-the-scenes video tells the story of the Aamir Khan’s personal dangal with weight. It reveals his intense training schedule in the gym to build the enviable physique.
