This actor transformed himself to become one of the biggest Bollywood stars; he managed to lose 50 kg for debut role!
Arjun Kapoor is another actor who becomes the picture-perfect story of how determination and willpower can get you to your end goal. The actor's transformation and journey into stardom are nothing short of inspiring. Arjun Kapoor's 50 kg transformation The actor, who won the hearts of many with his 2012 debut film 'Ishaqzaade', had undergone a lot of challenges and issues before he was even fit enough to take on the role. Previously, the actor used to weigh almost 140 kg. In a conversation with Hindustan Times, the actor had shared how he had managed to lose so much weight for his debut role alongside Parineeti Chopra . He had shared that, 'Before I started, I lost around 50 kgs. I was in my 20s then, I went from 143 kgs down to 93 kgs. But 10 years later, my body has changed. I have had injuries, health issues, workload, etc. But it's not that I'm not mentally capable. It might take me longer physically to do it, which is why it has taken me 15 months to get into shape'. Though this feat was not achieved without its own set of issues. The journey took a whopping 15 months, as revealed by the actor himself in an online post. Though the story now stands deleted, his ambition still remains as an inspiration for many. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Donating Sperm May Support Your Income SpellRock Undo He has also talked about his weight loss journey in various interviews, where he has detailed what kind of restrictions he had to limit himself to.

He shared that instead of processed foods, he opted to keep his diet natural and full of high-protein foods. When talking about the one thing he focuses most on when losing weight, he emphasised the importance of walking. In an old Time of India interview, the actor shared, 'When I was overweight as a kid, I believed in one thing: there's nothing better than walking. Even now, when I need to shed weight, I make sure to stay physically active. You can't just sit around eating and complain about not losing weight'. What foods does the actor eat? In a deleted post, the actor had even talked about his regular meals and shared what he eats in a day to maintain his health. He talked about how he has eggs in the morning along with gym, and then has lunch at 1:30 pm. He usually has a Souvlaki Wrap, after which he attends to other matters till 5. His snacks include Turkey Sushi, and dinner goes on to Turkish kebabs with a nutritious sauce/chutney. Dealing with Hashimoto's disease A possibly unknown fact about the actor's life is that he also suffers from Hashimoto's disease. He shared in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India that he suffers from the disease and that it is very easy for his body to gain weight. He cited that even taking a flight can trigger the 'fight or flight' response in his system.
