Aamir on his Dangal body: I have not used any substances

Aamir Khan left everyone speechless with the transformation he underwent to attain his two drastically different looks for ‘Dangal’. While many applauded the actor’s absolute dedication towards his craft, there were some who said that Aamir might have taken the support of drugs and steroids to reach his goal.

The superstar decided to clear the air on this subject and said, “I have not used any substances. I think that the good rate to lose weight is roughly one pound a week. If you want to lose weight little faster, then you have more of a calorie deficit.

So, if you have a calorie deficit of 500 calories a day, you lose one pound a week. If you have the calorie deficit of 1,000 calories a day, you lose two pounds a week. That is considered to be on the higher side."

Elaborating upon his weight loss journey Aamir said, “When I started the weight loss process, I was doing double of that. Four pounds a week, I was losing for the first three weeks. Then I brought it down to two pounds a week. So, I had 20 weeks to do that. If you do the math, you will understand that is how I got there. Immediately after PK, I was in the weight training mode for two years."

No wonder he is called Mr. Perfectionist. ‘Dangal’ hits the theatres on 23rd December 2017.
