On Sunday, November 17, strongly condemning the use of steroids to get abs, the actor said people who actually use steroids misuse it which is bad for their body and for their health.

Speaking to the media while attending a fitness event, the actor expressed displeasure over people who chose shortcuts to achieve a toned body. "No one should use steroids. People don't actually use it, instead, they misuse steroids, which is very bad for their body and for them. I have seen many who pass out while working out in the gym. It can be because of anything, heart failures or something more critical. Therefore, it's not a good thing to use at all," Salman said.
