Imran Khan's treasure of interesting anecdotes has opened once again, treating fans to motivational and inspiring tales. The actor, who is reportedly on the brink of a comeback, shared his struggle with attaining a 'heroic physique'. He recalled how people called him 'weak' and said the 'heroine looks bigger than him'.
Imran started his note by saying, "I've always been skinny. I'm one of those hyper-metabolic people, my body just burns through whatever I consume. Oh no, what a terrible affliction! In my late teens, guys around me started joining gyms and working out. They started to expand, their biceps stretching the sleeves of their t-shirts. I wore a size S, and my sleeves were still loose. I didn't need to be muscular to play Jai Singh Rathore... but I was convinced that I was too skinny, which is why Jai mostly wears two layers of clothing throughout Jaane Tu. For my next film, Kidnap, I hit the gym in earnest, and began my journey with body building."
