Arjun Kapoor wooed fans with his impressive body transformation in a series of then and now shirtless photos. The actor showed off his leaner physique and spoke about his 15-month long fitness journey in an Instagram post.
This is not the first time the actor has managed to shed excess pounds. Before his Bollywood break, Arjun lost around 50 kgs. "But 10 years later, my body has changed. I have had injuries, health issues, workload etc. But it’s not that I’m not mentally capable. It might take me longer physically to do it, which is why it has taken me 15 months to get into shape," the actor said in an interview with Hindustan Times.
Opening up about the inspiration behind his desire to get fit, the actor said that it comes from his work and that he wants to earn the love and respect of his audience again.
"For me, the audience is sacrosanct. I didn’t do it for any other reason," the actor said while out shooting for his next film in Manali.
Arjun also went on to clear the air that he is not trying to get a bulked-up physique, much like his fellow B-town star,
Tiger Shroff. "I am not Tiger Shroff. I accept that. I’m not attempting to be. He is unique in what he does. I want to be the best version of Arjun Kapoor that has been loved by audiences," he said.
The actor has 'Ek Villain 2', 'The Lady Killer', 'Kuttey' and 'Kaneda' that are in the pipeline.
