Well, this is the Salman Khan’s last pictures of weight training. The Bollywood Superstar told to media that he is giving up lifting weights so that he can lose all his muscles.
“I need to get rid of these muscles. Now, that the shooting of my film is over, I have stopped lifting weights. I am only doing free-hand exercises. I think that there cannot be a better alternative to free-hand exercises when it comes to the good old Indian dan-baithaks. I can do one hundred dan-baithaks at one go,” says Salman.
At a time when Shah Rukh reportedly cannot spend two hours at a stretch without puffing on the cancer stick and Aamir famously admitted on his blog that he tends to smoke under pressure— Salman admits that he is suffering from withdrawal symptoms, as he is going through the process of giving up smoking and drinking altogether.
“I have realised that when I smoke, children and adolescents pick up the habit fast. I don’t want to be an excuse for teenagers to learn smoking. You will never see me smoking again. As for the screen, if there is a smoking scene, then the director really has to convince me very hard on why I need to puff that stick. Besides, I am not drinking also. I think every star who has a fan following should not be smoking or drinking on the screen or in public for that matter,” says the star, admitting, “Yes, you do suffer from withdrawal symptoms. Your body constantly draws you towards that habit while your mind reasons that you shouldn’t do it. I will let my mind do the talking because these symptoms go away after a while.
This is not easy, but what on earth is easy? And above all, I need to give up smoking and drinking for the kind of lean body that I am looking at.”
Salman, who has not been a method actor, is now turning to method acting like Aamir Khan. “I need to get into the skin of the character of my next film (Dabangg). It requires a lean body. Besides, I have always wanted a lean body. I have sported a muscular physique for a long time. It’s time for a different Salman Khan to emerge!” he ends.
