Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is globally recognized for his iconic physique and dedicated fitness regime. Even at nearly 60 years of age, his commitment continues to inspire millions. The actor, who originally popularized the trend of six-pack abs in Hindi cinema, recently opened up on a popular chat show about the severe health battles and injuries that tested his resilience over the years.
Overcoming Injuries and Health Setbacks
During the appearance, when asked how he maintains such remarkable fitness levels, Salman credited his relentless hard work and disciplined lifestyle. He noted that he has amplified healthy habits while minimizing adverse ones. Acknowledging that his fans have always loved his shirtless avatars, he emphasized that letting himself go out of shape would be unfair to the people who look up to him.
Health Issues That Escalated During 'Sultan'
The 'Dabangg' actor candidly discussed the medical hurdles he faced, revealing that a phase in his life brought serious injuries and health complications. According to Salman, problems including head injuries, hernia, severe shoulder trauma, trigeminal neuralgia, and aneurysm cropped up significantly around the time he was filming 'Sultan'. Despite these major physical setbacks, he never used them as excuses for not looking his best on screen.
Dedication Driven by Fan Inspiration
Salman stated that people across all age groups draw inspiration from his fitness journey, with kids often motivating their fathers to stay active by taking his example. Recognizing this deep responsibility, he refuses to compromise on his health, constantly pushing his limits by looking at individuals who are even fitter than him.
