While talking about his weight loss journey, Aamir was quoted saying, "I was burning 4500 calories a day in USA through biking, trekking, swimming and a lot of other activities. I ate less and worked out more. The maths was that I ate 1500 calories and burned about 4500. The deficit was more so weight was decreasing fast, but it was unhealthy as the deficit should not be more than 25 percent.”

Being a perfectionist, Aamir Khan, has always tried to perfectly fit into the shoes of the characters of his films, and his upcoming venture ‘Dangal’ is no different! Aamir is set to essay the role of a wrestler in this film and has gone the extra mile to get into the skin of his character. Apart from learning how to wrestle, Aamir has undergone a physical transformation as well. Aamir had to put on and bulk up to be a wrestler weighing 95 kilos for the film and soon he had to reduce all the piled on weight to look thin and lean for the second portion of the film. Gauging him by the pictures, Aamir has done an excellent job of going from fat to fab in a short span of time.
