How Shah Rukh Khan’s six-pack inspired Emraan Hashmi to hire a trainer: ‘I had to get toned’

Emraan Hashmi's journey to develop a six-pack began in 2010 after Shah Rukh Khan's six-pack abs in Om Shanti Om's Dard-e-Disco song caught his attention. Initially, Emraan did not prioritize diet or exercise, but his director, Milan Luthria, insisted on getting into a specific physical form. This led Emraan to hire a personal trainer and change his eating habits.

Consultant dietitian and fitness expert Garima Goyal explained that visible abs are the result of a comprehensive approach, including strength training, cardio, calorie control, protein intake, hydration, recovery, and consistency. Goyal emphasized that a well-planned diet is crucial for fat loss and muscle preservation, while protein helps with muscle repair and recovery.

She also stressed the importance of a structured training and diet plan, as working out randomly often leads to disappointment when results are not seen. Emraan's transformation serves as an example of how inspiration can lead to action when turned into a consistent routine.
