Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan isn’t just known for his charm on screen; his recent dedication to fitness has left audiences and fellow actors speechless. Aaryan underwent a remarkable physical transformation for his upcoming role in the movie Chandu Champion, dropping his body fat percentage from a staggering 39% to a lean 7% in just 14 months.
The actor documented his transformation on social media, sharing a photo with the caption, “From 39% body fat to 7% body fat! From being an insomniac to turning into a fitness enthusiast, it’s surely a journey of one and a half years to remember for me.”
Aaryan’s dedication wasn’t limited to the gym; it completely transformed his lifestyle. His transformation mirrored the journey of the character he portrays, Paralympian athlete Murlikant Petkar. “The life of the living legend Mr Murlikant Petkar, not only made me a stronger human being but also, further instilled the belief that if you can dream it, then you can achieve it… nothing is impossible,” Aaryan wrote. He added, “Pehle mummy kehti thi, ‘beta gym jao’ lekin aaj kal haalaat aise hain ki unhe call karke bolna padta hai, ‘beta gym se vapas aa jao.”
