Imran Khan was told heroines look 'bigger' than him; took steroids to bulk up

Former actor Imran Khan, who is known for his works in 'Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na', 'Delhi Belly', 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara', among others, has opened up on how he felt 'insecure' about his physique, and talked about his uphill fitness journey.

Taking to Instagram, shared a string of pictures, wherein he is showing his upper body part with stitch marks on it. The second picture is a collage in which he is flaunting his muscular back, while the last click shows him candidly waving at the cameras.

Along with the photos, Imran penned a long note, which read as: "I've always been skinny. I'm one of those hyper-metabolic people, my body just burns through whatever I consume. Oh no, what a terrible affliction! In my late teens, guys around me started joining gyms and working out. They started to expand, their biceps stretching the sleeves of their t-shirts. I wore a size S, and my sleeves were still loose."

"I didn't need to be muscular to play Jai Singh Rathore…. but I was convinced that I was too skinny, which is why Jai mostly wears two layers of clothing throughout 'Jaane Tu'. For my next film, 'Kidnap', I hit the gym in earnest, and began my journey with body building," he said.
