SRK's 6 pack n dozen stories alike
Usually not associated with a brawny body, Shah Rukh Khan today is making everyone talk about his awesome 'six pack abs' and his dashing new look in Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om.
The promos of the number Dard-E-Disco from the film OSO that are being aired day in and day out seem to have audiences spellbound.
Apparently the Badshaah of Bollywood went through all the pains of a tirelessly daily workout only for the sake of his son Aryan, who was disappointed that his dad didn't have a 'V' shaped body and perfect abs like that of a John Abraham, Salman Khan or a Hrithik Roshan.
Aamir Khan is following suit after Shah Rukh. He has also begun sweating it out in the gym to get into shape for his role in the forthcoming Ghajini remake. We don't know as yet whether Aamir is aiming for the 'six pack abs' just like SRK but it was not so long ago that Aamir had a bulge that was visible to one and all and which made him appear to look stout. The actor then set a target for himself to loose all the extra flab that he could do without and decided on a fitness regime under the guidance of his personal trainer Satyajit Desai. The results are now showing with Aamir who now has a muscular fit body and has lost more than a few kilos as well. The actor was so obsessed to have a 'dream physique' that he bought a garage to set up his personal gym in the same space. With Ghajini coming close to the release date, looks like the 'perfectionist' Aamir Khan sure wants a 'perfectly toned' body too.
Abhishek Bachchan has been one of the few male stars who has never tried too hard to get that mean macho look but Ab's Baby is all set to give all of that a change. The actor has reportedly been working and sweating it out in the gym with an aim to shed 15 kilos sooner rather than later.
Since his honeymoon with Aishwarya, AB Jr has apparently adopted a much more healthier lifestyle and is following a strict diet. Abhishek has reportedly been inspired to have a fit bod after the six pack sported by Shah Rukh in Om Shanti Om.
The actor was asked to put on weight for his role as Gurukant Desai in Mani Ratnam's Guru. He has always been one who was fond of his food but now Abhishek wants to have a lean look and is busy working his way towards his goal.
Her last film Heyy Babyy has been declared a hit at the turnstiles and Vidya Balan is today riding high on success. Yet Vidya has been kept on her toes when recently the beautiful actress was asked to loose some weight for her next film which is to be directed by Aziz Mirza. The film is titled Kismet Connection and has Shahid Kapoor acting opposite her. It talks of a love story between a young guy and an older woman and the shooting for the film is to commence soon.
And therefore Vidya has been requested to loose the extra fat that she had gained while filming Sajid Khan's Heyy Babyy.
The actress has paid heed to their wishes and has sincerely started working out in the gym to be in shape as soon as she possibly can.
Saif is one star actor who turned health conscious but not out of his own choice. Saif Ali Khan as we all know has been a regular smoker for years. Although he used to work out regularly and follow a good diet, smoking was one habit that did not leave him. Chote Nawab finally was admitted to the Leelavati hospital after he complained of chest pains and reports pointed out the glaring reality to Saif that he had no option but to quit cigarettes.
But after this close save, Saif himself realized the enormous dangers that lie ahead unless he showed the courage to stand up and be counted.
The actor since then has quit smoking and is trying his best to lead a smoke free life which is a healthy attitude, we must say.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one of the top actresses not only in Bollywood but also on the global scene in Hollywood currently. But that did not exempt this beautiful actress from losing those extra pounds that she had apparently gained while filming Dhoom 2.
The former Miss World had put on a few added kilos and Aditya Chopra went to the extent of canceling and rescheduling shoots so that Ash got enough time to slim and trim down.
She was to star opposite none other than the fittest looking actor in the film industry Hrithik Roshan and Aditya insisted on her having a flat stomach. Aishwarya admirably worked at it and in a few weeks she got back into shape.
Kareena Kapoor caused an uproar in the media recently by gracing an event looking drastically thin and lean causing the scribes to wrongly assume that she was suffering from bulimia which is an eating disorder of sorts. We wondered whether it was for a role in an upcoming film or was Bebo taking things too far? But the actress herself later on assured the media that her weight loss was part of her preparation for her role in Tashan.
The actress apparently is undergoing training to execute some hardcore action sequences and this required her to lose some flab. And to help Kareena lose weight for Tashan, dietician Roojuta and a Yoga trainer from Bharat Thakur's school are leaving no stone unturned to give her the right look in the film.
Bebo has also restricted herself from junk food which she is so fond of.
To look the part of the mother of an eight year old child is by no means easy but Madhuri Dixit slips in to the garb with such ease in her forthcoming film Aaja Nachle.
Although she is set to grace the silver screens, the comfort with which Madhuri has got back into shape has everyone mesmerized and she looks as gorgeous as before.
Her weight loss inspite of being a mother of two in real life is really commendable.
Arjun Kapoor, son of Boney Kapoor has apparently lost 18 kgs under the able guidance of Salman Khan who has turned mentor for the Kapoor lad who aspires to be a filmmaker in the near future.
For the past five months, Salman has been a sort of personal trainer to Arjun and has been working at the former's in-built gym at his residence.
Apparently Arjun is seeing Salman's sister Arpita.
Not many know that even Bipasha Basu who has such a curvaceous figure had to shed weight for the film No Entry that also starred Anil Kapoor and Salman Khan.
Bips was to play the role of a club dancer and that required her to have a more toned look and hence she went on a diet to suit the role.
A lot of workout is the secret behind those perfect pelvic gyrations by the Bengali babe.
Acclaimed playback singer Adnan Sami's weight loss story has been a fairy tale of sorts with the once hefty sized singer losing around 100 kilos in a year's time. Apparently Sami has been through a seven year struggle to get rid of the amount of weight that he presently has.
The fact that his doctors had given him 'months' to live and he was going through a personal crisis as well (His marriage was broken), it is to his credit that he has overcome all these obstacles to come out smiling the way he has.
