We are accustomed to seeing the flat stomachs and virtually fat-free bodies of our favourite Bollywood stars. While chomping on a bag of doritos, we frequently worship them and think to ourselves, “I wish I had a physique like her/him.”
Do we ever consider how they appeared earlier? Did they always have this level of upkeep, or did it just happen because they wanted it to?
Here is a list of a few Famous Bollywood celebrities whose incredible weight reduction transformations inspired us:
Adnan Sami
By going from 220 kg to 75 kg in just 16 months, Pakistani musician Adnan Sami, who has contributed successful songs to Bollywood, motivated his followers. The singer of “Tera Chera” exercised frequently to get in shape.
He explained his diet, which was rich in fibre, proteins, and other nutrients. He added that he has reduced his consumption of junk food and calories. He joined the gym on his instructor’s instructions after he lost 40 kg.
