Aamir Khan is facing health concerns as a result of the weight he has put on to play professional wrestler, Mahavir Singh Phogat. In an effort to play the wrestler with complete conviction, Aamir has gone all the way. Not only has he gained weight and thus endangered his health, he also has learned the Haryanvi language, to make the picture complete.
Reality TV star, Gautam Gulati, happened upon Aamir at an airport and tweeted this concerning picture of the beloved star. Quote from the Business of Cinema, "Now what do I say about this man ,met him after years and we were in the same flight and how he gives respect to people is such an amazing thing about him. He has put on 30 kgs and not feeling good, breathing problem because of putting on weight and cant even walk properly....but look at his dedication towards his job, India mei aur kaun hai jo is level per mehnat karte hai."
Even his wife and mother are concerned for Aamir's health. From NDTV comes this quote from Aamir, ""I am 95 kg right now and that's enough for the character. My breathing has changed, when I tie my laces, my stomach comes in between. After 20 seconds, I have to (take a long) breath. My mom and my wife are very worried about my health as they feel I am playing with my health. Even I feel the same."
In spite of these concerns, Aamir presses on. Shooting is to finish in a little over a month, and Aamir is promising to return to a more normal weight. From the same NDTV article, ""By December (2015), we will finish the shooting, and in the next five months I will lose weight and then have one more schedule in the month of June, where my character is young. When the film will come to an end, I will be back to the PK look."
Future concerns about what this did to his heart certainly must be worried over by loved ones.
