I am not a body builder: Farhan
Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar, who built six-pack abs for his latest release Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, says he doesn't feel it is necessary to retain the physique as every film may not require him to look like a “body builder”.
“I'm not a body builder. This (the body) was prefect for the role (in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag) and that's why I thought I should do it. But every role has it's demands and it is important to understand that you don't want to look the same in every film,” said the 39-year-old.
He added, “I try to mould as much as I can. It felt great to be feeling fit and healthy and if there is something again which demands me to to do it (get such a physique) again, I would gladly do it. But I don't feel it's important to hang on to this, it was for a purpose.”
Shabana Azmi has been one of my strongest inspirations. I was truly awestruck by Shabana Azmi's performance in Arth. I still am. I like walking in other people's shoes. I tend to empathise with them
