It won't be wrong to say that Salman Khan started a huge fitness revolution in India in 1998, after his shirtless avatar in the iconic song "O o jaane jaana" in Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya became a rage. Since then, everyone aspired for a body like 'Salman Bhai'.
Youngsters especially started hitting the gym to have a similar hunky frame.
And now, Superstar Salman Khan, who has inspired millions of people in the country to take up fitness with his muscular brawn, has urged fitness freaks not to use steroids, pointing out that such substances trigger liver and kidney ailments besides causing other harmful effects to the body.
Warning everyone about steroids, he said,
"Nowadays, there is a trend of taking steroids but it's really a wrong trend. I feel no one should use these. In fact, a lot of people misuse steroids, which is really bad for their bodies because you can damage your liver and kidney. There are a lot of people who have died doing exercises in the gym because of heart failure. So, it is not the right thing to do at all. I think protein shakes and supplements are good for your body but the kind of steroids people are consuming are very harmful. With those steroids, you can build your body but people can easily figure it's a body built by steroids and not naturally. That kind of body cannot last long."
He also emphasized of the timing of workouts for being fit and healthy. He said,
"Whenever you get the time, you should do your workout. I get free time after lunch break or after dinner, in the morning or in between the shots. Whenever I get time, I exercise one body part. Sometimes, I exercise the stomach, chest or legs, because I don't have the time to spend an hour or two in the gym. Wherever I spot a small place, I start doing exercises. I think you need gym equipment to do your exercise but if it's not there, you can go for traditional forms of exercise."
On work front, Salman Khan will next be seen onscreen in the Prabhu Deva directorial Dabangg 3 along with Sonakshi Sinha, Saiee Manjrekar and Kichcha Sudeepa. The film is slated to release on 20th December, 2019.
