Imran Khan REVEALS about battling depression, being skinny, stopping workouts and much more

How can anyone forget the boyish charm that actor Imran Khan exuded in his debut film ‘Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na’.

He then spoke about exercise which was doubled up with nutrition that was 6 meals a day, chicken breast, egg whites, sweet potato, oats, flax seeds and much more. At the same time, he also confessed that, despite all that, he couldn’t match up his biceps with the heroes he saw onscreen. Even though without mentioning anything directly, he did cryptically touch upon the aspects of supplements and anabolic steroids!

And while referring to his recent years, Imran Khan confessed to have fought depression, post which, he stopped working out., which not just led to him becoming skinnier, but also gave rise to a speculation about drug abuse. The actor ended his post stating that, presently, he is working out with his friend who is concerned about his health and who feeds him with walnuts and turmeric. The actor also confessed that, while he still feels jealous about the dudes (onscreen heroes) with superhero muscles, he doesn’t feel bad about himself.
