The Role
If you have not seen the movie, then let me tell you a bit. The 80% of the role in Dangal required Amir Khan to gain weight. Whereas, the rest required Amir Khan to look younger and slimmer version of himself.Wise Decision of Amir Khan
Amir Khan made a wise decision. It was to do the part of obsess person first. His plan was to get back in shape and then do the rest of the role which was of the younger wrestler.Maybe, if he has done the opposite, he would not find the motivation to lose the gained weight. Not only he, himself, wanted to lose the weight but he had a team supporting and encouraging him to lose weight for the sake of completing the movie.
The DIET
So, he gained pounds for the sake of the movie. Gaining was the easiest part, according to him. He ate anything and everything. Also, he enjoyed it. Well, who would not want to be in Amir Khan’s position. We all love eating but due to the fear of not shedding the extra pounds, we control. We do, right?How he lost all the weight?
