Actor Salman Khan has been an inspiration to many young celebs and his fit body and healthy lifestyle has been the motivation for many celebs to hit the gym and exercise regularly. So this time, it was ‘Kaabil’ actor Rohit Roy who sought motivation from Salman Khan. Well, Salman Khan called him a “fat cow” and that was enough for Rohit to get going and train all the more for his negative turn in ‘Kaabil’. Before working on the movie, Rohit had met Salman Khan and that’s when his frank advice worked for him and proved to be the motivator behind his fit lifestyle.

Speaking about the same, Rohit said in an interview, “One has to look right for a role, the demand of every project is different and hence the constant pressure. I really had to work hard to lose weight for ‘Kaabil’. I had to look in my 30s. But most importantly, what Salman had to say was a much needed shot in the arm for me, and like always, he minced no words in saying that I’d become a fat cow and that I should stop making excuses because everyone has some problem or the other to deal with. That’s the day I turned it around. I underwent a total change in diet and workout. I cut out alcohol, desserts and fried food to begin with. My dinner would be zero carb. Losing weight is not rocket science though. I changed my workout. I have run for an hour everyday for 2 months straight come what may.”

Well, those words of Salman worked effectively as Rohit did look leaner and fitter in the movie.
