Imran Khan Opens Up About His Body Image Struggles And Addresses Speculations Of Drug Abuse!
Imran Khan, one of the most popular actors in Bollywood in the early 2010s, recently took to Instagram to write about how he struggled with his body image. He also revealed how the media speculated that he was using drugs because of his skinny body after he quit acting.
Khan wrote that he always had a "skinny" body and had to wear 'two layers of clothing' while doing Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. He also wrote about how he would often hear comments like "So... you'll bulk up a bit before we start shooting, right?"; "You're looking weak", "You look like a little boy, not a man", and "The heroine looks bigger than you" (ouch for both of us!)."
Khan also wrote about how he was deeply ashamed and embarrassed after the media speculated that he was using drugs because of his skinny body. He said that he retreated further after that.
In conclusion, Khan wrote that now he works hard on his body and only takes natural supplements like Walnut and Turmeric. He said that while he is a bit jealous of guys with muscular physiques, he doesn't feel bad about himself.
Take A Look:
Khan's last Bollywood film was the 2015 romantic comedy 'Katti Batti'. After that, the actor quit Bollywood. Later on, he directed and acted in a short film titled 'Mission Mars.' There are reports that Khan is planning a comeback with 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' director Abbas Tyrewala.
