Arjun Kapoor speaks on his fitness journey and his battle with obesity

Arjun Kapoor who was last seen in the film Bhoot Police recently spoke on his fitness journey. The actor shared images of his physical transformation on his Instagram handle and mentioned how content and happy he is with his current state of health.

In a recent interview, the Aurangzeb actor spoke about his struggle with obesity and how his body has evolved over the years.

Talking about how obesity is an issue of concern globally, the actor expressed, “Well, I have been battling it since I can remember... waking up for the last 20 odd years with it. It’s not really been an easy task. People assume that when you lose weight, it’s done, but the tougher part is maintaining that. It’s never over. Even today, when I wake up every morning, I have to be conscientious and aware. My battle is very deep-rooted; I fight it every day with a smile on my face. There are some really bad days also. For anybody out there who needs inspiration, I am happy that I can inspire them, but I am as vulnerable as the next person."

The 35year old actor further added, “I am somebody who can put on weight by just breathing around food, so I have to be very aware of that. More than anything, I wanted to get fitter. I think I have now got back to being fit, taking care of my body, loving myself, and valuing my body. I’d lost that ability to care of myself. I was so lost in work that I thought it would take care of itself. That’s what I wanted to remind them… that even if you gain weight, you can’t stop loving yourself. You have to try to lose weight for the right reasons, it can’t just be for the superficial part, which obviously exists. At the end of the day, when you see that a virus can trap all of us in these circumstances, you realize how important your health is. Obesity leads to sugar issues, heart problems, and blood pressure… the way food is looked at in our country, there’s always an excess. You have to realize how to take care of yourself.”
