Salman Khan is one Bollywood star who is not afraid to mince his words, even when it comes to colleagues. Recently, Rohit Roy opened up on the honest advice the Dabangg star gave to him when he was struggling professionally. Salman gave him the reality check he needed at the time and it helped Rohit to turn his life around.
Recently, Rohit opened up on how he struggled to find his place in Bollywood during an interview with Siddharth Kannan. The actor shared that Salman was the one to motivate him to work hard on his fitness. Rohit said, “I had put on a lot of weight; I was getting frustrated because things were not working out. I told Salman that I’m not happy. I’m trying my best but things are not happening and he looked at me and said you look like a fat cow, even I wouldn’t give you any work. Everything he shared with me that day led to my complete metamorphosis physically.”
Rohit added that Salman told him either he can continue living like this or he can change his ways. The Shootout At Lokhandwala star decided to fight the situation.
Not many know that, Salman and Rohit are actually childhood friends. In fact, the Ek Tha Tiger star was there on the muhrat shot of Rohit’s debut film Jaan Tere Naam. That is why, he was able to help out his friend in the most honest way.
Salman’s word worked their magic on Rohit and he started his fitness journey. After his transformation, he got a key role in Hrithik Rohan’s Kaabil. That role helped him to bounce back in Bollywood and gave him the career boost he was looking for. Scroll down to check out his transformation:
While Salman’s blatantly honest advice might not be everyone’s cup of tea, it did work wonders for Rohit. I bet the Bharat star must be proud of how his friend managed to change his life around!
