Tbf Abhishek debuted in an era when bodybuilding wasn't a necessity. Although today it's a MUST for all male actors to be muscular or at least to be fit and healthy to appeal to the masses.
Abhishek debuted in the year 2000 when six packs or eight pack abs weren't a thing. The only actor who was into bodybuilding was Salman, until Hrithik came along. But it was okay for other male actors to not be in their best shape unlike today.
