Opinion: Aamir Khan's body transformaton





To all the fitness fanatics and Bollywood junkies all of us would have seen this video of Aamir Khan's transformation for his movie Dangal.

Aamir Khan's Transformation for Movie Dangal


  • What this video tells you is:
  • His Weight was 97 Kgs
  • Body fat was 38%
  • He brought it down to 9.67 %
  • In just 5 Months


Now after getting inspired and awed by the transformation of Aamir Khan's body most of saw this video.
Video that explains that he took steroids


  • In this video this guys suggests that he took steroids for getting this transformation.
  • This kind of transformation is not possible without great genetics(which he doesn't possess).
  • It will take 5-6 years for any normal human to achieve this level of fitness.


So now you demotivated or possibly also shaming Aamir Khan.

Now what I would like to tell you is something he didn't highlight and that is very important for you to understand.


  1. Aamir Khan wasn't weighting 97 Kgs for all his life. He had put on this extra weight for this movie in a very short time. In fact he added 25 Kgs in 6 months.
  2. All the fitness experts and dietitians would suggest that if you put on weight quickly you can reduce it quickly as well. As that is not your body type or your body is not used to that weight for a long time.
  3. He used to eat more, eat food with extra calories to gain weight, which he normally wouldn't. so as soon as he would return to his normal diet, he was expect to reduce his weight.
  4. Even when he was 97 Kgs he was working out and training for wrestling so his body is already capable of doing exercise. Which means if he just stopped his extra calorie diet even then he was expected to reduce weight.


Now lets look at things which are important. If Anyone follows these things then is surely expected to get much fitter in 5 months then what he is today.


  1. He used specialized diet plan, which would work for him. This was calorie deficit plan, which means he will consume less calories than he would need to burn every day. If you consult your dietitian and get a similar plan for yourself, you are expected to lose weight.
  2. His discipline and dedication to the training. (no amount of steroid can replace this) He stuck to his workout, which was again designed by fitness experts specially for him. He didn't build those muscles sitting on a couch. If you get yourself a plan designed for yourself, based on your body type and stick to it, you will see the results in 5 Months. 
  3. Intensity of training: If you are going to train with the right intensity and focus without cheating no one can take away results from you. His training plan is designed for a specific need, loose fat and gain muscle.

So get off that couch and put on your gym gear. Go out there and sweat out for your fitness.
