Bollywood perfectionist Aamir Khan has renewed his interest in fitness and has recently revealed that he has accidentally lost 18 kg with an anti-inflammatory diet. He made this choice mainly to treat chronic migraines rather than to achieve a specific physique.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Aamir explained how his weight change was almost accidental. He laughed and said, “Eighteen kilos, actually.”

The actor explained the reason behind his weight loss and added, “It happened by default. The new diet I am following for health reasons is working like magic for me.”

He then reflected on the result that was beyond the scales, saying, “I undertook the diet for the migraines. It is an anti-inflammatory diet. I not only lost eighteen kgs, my migraines have also reduced considerably.”

Aamir Khan also talked about the upcoming film, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, which marks his nephew Imran Khan’s comeback. The actor addressed the speculations about his comeback and said, “It is not a proper comeback for Imran. Both Imran and I have cameo roles. I haven’t done too many comedy roles in my career, although people still remember Andaz Apna Apna.”
