Taking to his Instagram handle, Imran Khan penned that he had always been a skinny person and that has not been in favour of him as a Bollywood hero. “I'm one of those hyper-metabolic people, my body just burns through whatever I consume.” “I wore a size S, and my sleeves were still loose,” he wrote.
He further wrote, “I didn't need to be muscular to play Jai Singh Rathore (his character in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa)... but I was convinced that I was too skinny, which is why Jai mostly wears two layers of clothing throughout Jaane Tu. For my next film, Kidnap, I hit the gym in earnest, and began my journey with body building.”
