There has been widespread speculation in the media that Aamir Khan’s recent weight gain is preparation for his highly anticipated biopic on Dadasaheb Phalke. However, the actor has now clarified the real reason behind the change in his physique — and it’s far from a cinematic transformation.
In an exclusive conversation, Aamir surprised many by revealing that his weight gain is linked to a health condition rather than a film role. He shared, “No, no, the weight gain is not for a role. Actually, you know, I have been having these migraines for some time and for that, I need to be on a steroid treatment. And that steroid treatment causes me to put on weight; I can’t help it.”Despite the medication’s side effects, Aamir is proactive about regaining his fitness.
He added, “In fact, I’ve started my diet and workout because I need to get back into shape for, you know, whatever my next film is.”When asked if he has found a cure for his migraines, Aamir explained the ongoing challenges. “No, because, you know, they’re not able to figure out why it’s happening. The steroid is taking the headaches away. But I can’t keep taking steroids.
In fact, I have an appointment the day after with the doctor.”He further elaborated on the complexity of his condition, saying, “They’re very good doctors, but sometimes, you know, it’s difficult to diagnose exactly why it’s happening. I understand it’s complicated. At least they’re not sending me on the wrong path.
They’re just still figuring out exactly what’s wrong.”Aamir’s candidness about his health struggles sheds light on the challenges he faces behind the scenes, reminding fans that even stars deal with complex personal battles while continuing their work in the spotlight.
