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."
