An overweight Arjun Kapoor had lost 50 kgs
and embraced his fitter version before stepping
into Bollywood with YRF's Ishaqzaade opposite
Parineeti Chopra. Not to mention, he had all
the women swooning over his strong and
towering frame and rugged looks. Though he
managed to maintain his weight initially, he put
on a few extra kilos in the recent past. Now,
that's something that happens with all of us and
is only natural. But when you are a Bollywood
star, every little thing about you becomes a
talking point. The actor recently opened up about
his fluctuating weight during an interview with
the popular leading daily, DNA:
" I have fluctuated a lot in the last couple of
years because of my own health issues. We have
our own phases in life. Even actors are human
beings so we have issues to deal with " physical,
emotional and mental. I had one of those years
where I had to recover. So yes, though I have
that fear of putting on weight, I can't stop living
my life because of that fear. I work very hard in
the gym. Sometimes, I come home very late
around 1 am, but still I go and work out at the
gym. I don't ever stop. I try and work out at least
six times a week with my trainer because that's
important for my body type which is so different
from a typical Indian boy. I am so broad and big-
structured that even two kilos on me can look like
gaining 10 kilos and losing two kilos can also look
like shedding 10 kilos. So I am in a strange
predicament. I have always been considered to
be broader and bigger so I have to be extra
careful which I am okay with, as it's part of the
profession, but I don't lose sleep over it. I have
some faith in the fact that I have lost 50 kgs in
four years, so I know my job about going about
being healthy and I have done it in a very clean
and good way, so I am very clear that I can do
this. The body can try and stop you when you are
very tired but you keep pushing and the results
do come. I have seen that in that four-year phase.
If you are patient your body reaps results, if not
today then tomorrow or the next day. You just
have to keep at it every day without stopping.
You shouldn't give up. Now I don't get into that
phase that if I eat one thing I will keep eating
because I can't lose the weight. If I have eaten a
meal outside and have one bad night, the next
day morning I will be on the treadmill to make
sure that I burn those calories... I had a lot of
cervical and neck issues. I used to suffer from
vertigo because I had a cervical problem. Pilates
has helped me open up, helped my posture, I also
had a lot of issues with my shoulder. "
Kudos to Arjun for talking about this so candidly
and honestly.
