Arjun, or Fubu, as he was referred to before his acting career, weighed around 130 kilos before he decided to change things up. 4 years of hard work in the form of intense CrossFit, deadlifting, circuit training, and workouts with Bollywood’s fitness king, Salman Khan, and he lost a ton of weight and transformed the actor into a chiselled, muscled hunk.
Alia Bhatt
Did you know that when Alia auditioned for Student of the Year, Karan Johar told her he would offer her the leading role only if she lost about 20 kilos of weight in 6 months? The talented actress took on the challenge and began an intense weight loss exercise routine with Yasmin Karachiwala.
Adnan Sami
A couple of years ago, Adnan Sami weighed 206 kilos, and now is about 75 kilos. Yes, you read right. The singer was obese, required a wheelchair to move around, and his health was critical. In 2006, he went on a low-carb, high-protein diet as part of his weight loss program. He then began his workout routine, and started to lose about 10 kilos a month, after which he could stand longer, and walk more, and found the motivation to keep going.
