Digital sensation Ashish Chanchlani recently shared how Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan played a pivotal role in motivating him toward a fitness transformation. Reflecting on a meaningful conversation with SRK, Ashish expressed admiration for the way Shah Rukh gave advice without any fat-shaming, a quality that left a lasting impact on him.
In a candid conversation, Ashish disclosed that the main challenge in his fitness journey was not simply his love for food or sugar but his tendency to overeat. “The biggest problem is not food. It’s not sugar. It’s overeating,” he admitted, explaining how his habits had become a major obstacle. Despite the pressures and challenges of dealing with fat-shaming, Ashish stayed committed to improving his health rather than conforming to superficial standards.
Ashish went on to share how SRK’s gentle yet firm words shifted his perspective on fitness.
Recalling the encounter, he said, “The moment I approached him, SRK sir held my belly and told me: ‘Ashish tum yaar please wazan kam karo, bahut ache lagoge main guarantee deta hu, jao yaar aaj hi gym jao, bas isse andar karo. Cute toh tum ho ab time aa gaya hai fit ho jao, zindagi nai badli toh main advice dena band kar dunga.’” The heartfelt advice struck Ashish deeply. “I will never forget his words, the way he gave me advice without fat-shaming me is the reason why I fell in love with this man,” he shared, reflecting on how SRK’s approach inspired him to take action.
