How Aamir Khan lost 13 kilos in six months for Dangal

Aamir Khan is on a weight losing spree to play the role of a young wrestler in Dangal. After having gained up to 95 kilos for the role of an ageing wrestler, Aamir Khan has now lost close to 13 kilos in a period of six months to play the younger version.

“I lost 13 kilos and now I am at 82. I have just reached half way and I need to lose 12 kilos more. I want the look that wrestler Sushil Kumar sports,” said Aamir Khan.

Commenting on how he is losing weight scientifically, Aamir said, “For the last three weeks I was in US to focus on weight loss. I was working out in different forms of exercise for six to seven hours in a day which is a lot. I was doing trekking, biking, mountain biking, tennis, swimming, weight training. So, different activities throughout the day and it would take roughly six to seven hours. I was only sleeping, eating and working out.”

Aamir also revealed that his family was happy to see him lose all excess weight that he had piled. “My family is happy that I am losing weight now. It’s a concern to me too. All of us need to be concerned because losing weight fast is not very healthy. I am pushing the envelope a little bit but for professional reasons.”

Dangal is going to release on Christmas this year.
