Pic Talk: Aamir Khan is too fat to bend, needs help to tie shoelaces

Actors tend to bring about extreme changes to their physical appearance to do justice to the roles they play in films.

Aamir Khan, who plays the wrestler, Mahavir Phogat, in his next film - Dangal, has beefed up to look the character. From 68, the actor now weighs 98kg. 

Now reports suggest that because of being overweight (the actor’s height is apparently 5 feet 5 inches), Aamir is facing difficulty in bending, and he needs someone to help him every time he has to put on his socks and or shoelaces. 

Preparing for the Nitesh Tiwari's film on wrestling, Aamir earlier said that he plans to shed kilos next year in order to look like a 27-year-old man for Dangal. "Right now, I am learning wrestling and Haryanvi, and putting on weight. So, you can say I am in full prep mode," says Aamir, who feels he has put on "enough weight" for his part. "Currently, I am at my heaviest. I weigh 90kg, which is a lot for a person of my height," he adds.
