He Expressed: My friends started going to the gym at a young age, and I used to wear small-sized clothes back then. I didn’t need a muscular body to go to the movies. But I was told that I was very thin, so you mostly saw my character in two layers of clothes in the film.”

Imran Explained: “That’s when I started going to the gym for the movie Kidnap, and my bodybuilding journey began. For several years, I maintained my body. It became a part of my lifestyle. But still, I used to hear things.

Delhi Belly Actor Expressed:  At that time, I started feeling insecure. I needed a powerful hero-type physique. I worked hard, but still, my body wasn’t like people’s on screen. For that, I needed supplements, steroids.”

“He then wrote, ‘Then I suffered from depression and stopped working out. I became thin. When my photos came out, there was talk in the media about my health, and rumours of drug abuse started coming out. I felt very embarrassed about this situation.”

It should be noted that Imran Khan was last seen in the film “Katti-Batti” in 2015. Since then, he has been missing from the screen.
