Arjun Kapoor on how he struggles with obesity today as well

Actor Arjun Kapoor might have had a roller-coaster career in Bollywood with many of his films not working at the box office and a few working wonders but the actor is undoubtedly one of the most people inside the industry and an inspiration to many outside.

His journey with weight loss has been one to witness and talked about multiple times as well. But recently, the actor further posted an array of images of his recent weight loss transformation where he was sporting abs and chiseled body. Interestingly, the fight for Kapoor is not about having a chiseled body but staying healthy.

In a recent interview with ETimes, Kapoor talked about how he struggles with obesity issues even today and other things. When asked about the same, he mentioned that he has been battling obesity ever since he can remember. Waking up for the last 20 odd years with the same hasn't been an easy task and he continues to fight it. He also mentioned how people assume that once you have lost weight, the work is done. But actually, the tougher part is maintaining the lost weight and it is never over. Even today, when he wakes up, he has to be conscientious and aware about it.

He also said, 

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. 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 realise 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 realise how to take care of yourself.

The actor is definitely an inspiration for many and continues to be. On the work front, Kapoor was last seen in Bhoot Police while he has Ek Villain Returns up for release next month, and Kuttey and The Lady Killer in the works.
