SALMAN IS KNOWN FOR HIS FITNESS BUT THE

RECENT LACK OF WORKOUTS RESULTED

IN HIM GAINING WEIGHT. FANS WERE SHOCKED AT THE

BULGE, AND COMMENTED THAT MAYBE HIS ‘EARLIER

CHISELLED BODY’ IN FILMS WAS PERHAPS

C-G EFFECT!

Salman Khan had not really been hitting the gym hard while promoting his film Antim: The Final Truth, and as a result, he developed a bit of a bulge around the middle. And he was promptly trolled by netizens, who watched a video of the actor’s performanc­e at the Dabangg tour in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

“Salman is an icon of fitness for a lot of people,” points out a source. “He had built a lot of muscle for his earlier schedule of Tiger but the lack of workouts resulted in him putting on weight. He was on the heavier side when he was performing at Riyadh. Though he has now more or less lost the flab, fans were shocked at the bulge, and even said the chiselled body that they saw in his last release may have been a computer-generated effect. But that is not the truth. It is just that he can put on and lose weight rather quickly,” the source stressed.

Earlier too, Salman was trolled for his paunch in Sultan, where he played a wrestler. But at that time it was a requiremen­t of the role. “In fact, at that time, Salman was not ready for that look and was worried that if he put on weight, he might not be able to lose it again. But after giving the shot with the paunch, and losing weight later, he was comfortabl­e with the idea, and often lets himself gain weight when he is not shooting or readying for bare body shots,” adds the source.
