Tiger Shroff's fitness trainer Kaizzad Capadia has passed away on Wednesday. The actor mourned his demise, shared his picture on Instagram stories earlier today and wrote, "Rest in Power Kaizad sir" [sic]
Kaizzad has transformed the life of many, including Bollywood celebrities. He has extensively trained Tiger Shroff. Bollywood's paparazzi Viral Bhayani offered condolences on Instagram and several B-Town celebs have expressed grief in the comments on his post.
Tiger's mother Ayesha Shroff, Siddhant Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Deanne Panday, Ruslaan Mumtaz and others have offered condolences.
In an interview with mid-day in 2015, Kaizzad had mentioned he does not consider himself to be a celebrity trainer. "I do not think it's a lofty goal to aspire to. At the K11 Fitness Academy, my quotes are put up in classrooms for my students to inspire them towards the right goals, and one such quote is: "Do not aspire to be a celebrity trainer. Instead, aspire to be a trainer, who is a celebrity in his/her own right." For me, any person willing to pay my fees is a "celebrity". I do not face any challenges while dealing with celebs, especially actors, actresses and models. Their careers drive them. Today, a celebrity who is out of shape can kiss goodbye to his/her career and hence, with so much at stake, they are always extremely driven and disciplined. I always get 100% compliance from them with regards to diet and exercise protocols," he had said.
