In the world of Bollywood, where physical transformations for roles often dominate headlines, a celebrity fitness trainer has shed light on the real-life discipline and dedication of some of India's biggest stars. Shivohaam, a renowned personal trainer to the stars, recently shared his experiences working with actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Ram Charan.
The Discipline Behind the 'Animal' Physique
Shivohaam addressed the frenzy around Ranbir Kapoor's muscular build in the blockbuster film Animal. While the actor's physique inspired countless fans, the trainer emphasized that Kapoor does not maintain that extreme 'beast' look permanently. "Ranbir Kapoor doesn't like to look like that all the time," Shivohaam stated. He described the actor as being very normal in his daily life—a father, husband, and son whose transformations are strictly purpose-driven for specific film roles.
The key takeaway from Kapoor, according to his trainer, is not the physique itself but his unwavering discipline. "The man is punctual to the T," Shivohaam praised. He revealed that he could count on his fingers the number of times Kapoor has been late for a training session. Even when running merely five minutes behind, Kapoor consistently sends a courteous message to inform him. This professionalism and genuine nature are what Shivohaam believes people should aspire to learn from the star.
Early Mornings with Aamir Khan and Timeless Lessons from Amitabh Bachchan
Shivohaam also recounted the intense dedication of Aamir Khan during the preparation for Laal Singh Chaddha. The actor's commitment required extraordinary scheduling. "We trained at 3 AM because after that, he had to sit for makeup and do his shift," the trainer recalled, noting that Khan's prosthetic beard and makeup application alone took 2-3 hours daily.
When it comes to veteran superstar Amitabh Bachchan, Shivohaam highlighted a simple yet powerful trait: punctuality. "Even at this age, Amitabh Bachchan is always on time, unless he has a meeting," he said, expressing admiration for the icon's consistent professionalism. He also mentioned positive experiences working with other celebrities like Ram Charan and Jacqueline Fernandez.
Glamour vs. Grind: The Reality of Bollywood
Shivohaam concluded by demystifying the perceived glamour of film shooting, underscoring the immense hard work involved. He explained how stars like Ranbir Kapoor integrate fitness into their demanding schedules, such as setting up a small gym on set to train during a lunch break for a 7 AM shift.
"They are not successful because of anything other than their passion and discipline," Shivohaam asserted. He acknowledged that luck might offer a brief opportunity, but sustained success is solely a result of what one makes of it. His insights paint a clear picture: behind every stunning on-screen transformation lies a foundation of relentless effort, remarkable punctuality, and an almost monastic discipline that the public rarely sees.
