Rohit Roy was an extremely popular actor on TV and has been around for years together. He has smoothly transitioned into the movies and his last Bollywood outing Kaabil got him a lot of praises – both for his performance and his incredible physical transformation. And going by the looks of it, the actor isn’t stopping anytime soon.

Wondering what motivated Rohit to get into shape? Salman Khan! Yup. Rohit met with Salman before the film and his advice really stuck with him. Here’s what he told Telechakkar.

One has to look right for a role, the demand of every project is different & hence the constant pressure. I really had to work hard to lose weight for Kaabil. I had to look in my 30s. But most importantly, what Salman had to say was a much needed shot in the arm for me, and like always, he minced no words in saying that I’d become a fat cow and that I should stop making excuses because everyone has some problem or the other to deal with. That’s the day I turned it around. I underwent a total change in diet and workout. I cut out alcohol, desserts and fried food to begin with. My dinner would be zero carb. Losing weight is not rocket science though. I changed my workout. I have run for an hour everyday for 2 months straight come what may.

And what a transformation he has had! If you’re looking for some fitness motivation this morning, this it it folks!
