Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan have been fitness icons

Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan is known for his stunning physique and toned abs. His love for fitness has become an inspiration for many. However, the actor didn’t build his body by himself overnight, but sought help from the superstar Salman Khan, who has been a fitness icon in the entertainment industry for decades.

During a previous appearance on Salman's reality show Bigg Boss as a guest, he recalled how Salman helped him achieve his fit physique during Hrithik's debut in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai.

While talking to the houseguests, Hrithik shared that when his father decided to launch him as a hero, the only person he could turn to was Salman Khan, as back then, Hrithik was very thin and needed help building his physique.

During a conversation with the houseguests, Hrithik recalled that when his father, Rakesh Roshan, chose to launch him as a leading actor, he only had one person to turn to: Salman Khan. At that time, Hrithik was very skinny and needed help to build a strong body.

Rakesh Roshan reached out to the superstar and explained his situation. In a kind gesture, Salman gave him the keys to his gym and encouraged him to use it, leaving a lasting impression on Hrithik.

Hrithik also remembered how Salman would often call him at 2 AM, inviting him to work out. Although he was hesitant at first, Hrithik mentioned that Salman would promise it would be fun. So, he would get dressed in his gym clothes and join Salman for a workout in the middle of the night.
