Dropping weight rapidly for his new role in 3 Idiots, the star has stopped hitting the gym.
Aamir Khan has stopped the intense workouts that brought him Ghajini's 8-pack abs - and he says that he misses the intensity of gymming. The actor, currently working for his new film 3 Idiots is rapidly losing weight - and muscle in the process - as he tries to fit into the role of a man in his early 20s.
"For three months now he has not been working out, or working out as heavily because he has to look thinner," said the man who built Aamir's body for him, Satyajit Chourasia. Aamir aims to have a weight of 68 kilos for the new look. For this the star has dropped the weight training but is keeping on the regime that Satyajit gave him to keep himself lean. "He is just doing normal cadio exercises which are essential to remain fit," Satyajit said.
Cardio exercise refers to any motion that raises the heart rate of the body and makes it consume more oxygen. This in turn makes the body break down its fat. Running, cycling and kipping are the three most common cardio exercises.
"Aamir is also following the same diet plan I had given him," Satyajit said. The star acknowledged the role of a good diet in building his body, saying that he attributed 50 per cent of his new body to what he ate.
At the Ghajini success party last week, Aamir told Satyajit that he had been missing the intensity of the workouts they had shared together. "He also discussed his diet plan," Satyajit said, "he is not consuming alcohol or cigarettes because they're not in the diet."Praising his student, Satyajit added: "After having done the diet for a year, he has become a perfectionist."
The star is playing the role of Ryan, an IIT student in the movie directed by Raju Hirani. Based on the novel 5 Point Someone, it is due for release in May this year.
