Now, the 60-year-old has revealed the real reason why he performed the stint on the show.

Salman Khan shares why he took off his shirt at Bigg Boss 20

Salman admitted that when he removed his shirt, his intention was not to show off his 6-pack abs, clarifying that he does not have the perfect physique now. Salman, however, was optimistic that he would eventually get back in shape in about 1-2 months. ‘Work in progress hai abhi,’ he said.

Salman further noted that he deliberately did not wait to be completely fit before taking off his shirt. Reason? He wanted to show his real body. ‘Aisa nahi hai ki fit ho gaya hu, to dikhaya. Unfit mein dikhaya maine (I didn’t show it because I had gotten fit. I showed it while I was still unfit)’ he said.

Salman Khan’s fitness trainer praises actor

Despite his age, Salman’s commitment to fitness remains unmatched. Earlier in May, the actor’s longtime fitness trainer Rakkesh R. Uddiyar told Zoom that 3 factors contribute to Salman’s regimen: discipline, dedication, and determination. Interestingly, the actor has been following this routine for over 30 years now without fail.

Elaborating on Salman’s fitness regimen, Rakkesh shared that at one time, Salman used to perform 10 exercises at a time with a minimum of 20 repetitions. The coach further argued that even when Salman carried out 2-3 sets of 1 exercise, it was still too much for him. Showing confidence in the actor, Rakkesh guaranteed that no young actors would be able to beat Salman in bench presses. ‘He is very strong,’ said the fitness trainer.
