\"R R Madhavan is one of Indian cinema\u2019s most charming stars, be it his chocolate-boy era in films like \u2018Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein\u2019 or his dashing salt-and-pepper look today. He has always carried a natural charm that goes beyond the usual six-pack trends dominating Bollywood. While many actors chase sculpted abs, Madhavan has never been in a hurry to join that race, and he once explained exactly why, in his honest and humorous style.In a deleted scene from \u2018Om Shanti Om\u2019, he even called himself \u201cthe Shah Rukh Khan<\/a> of the South\u201d, showing that he has never taken the fitness competition too seriously. In a past interview with Radiant Wellness, Madhavan had opened up about why he doesn\u2019t aim for a six-pack like Shah Rukh Khan famously did for the film.<\/p>\n

R. Madhavan urges caution for senior actors romancing younger heroines: ‘May look Sleazy’<\/p>\n

Why R Madhavan avoids extreme physical transformations<\/p>\n

When asked why he didn\u2019t build a six-pack, the \u2018Tanu Weds Manu\u2019 replied,\u201cI\u2019ve always been a very family man, so I prefer the family pack. Having said that, that\u2019s just a cheeky answer. The truth of the matter is, getting a six-pack is definitely a beautiful thing, but only if you get it the right way.\u201dDiving deeper into the topic, he explained, \u201cTo get a six-pack, you need to have a body fat percentage between 8 to 9 per cent, and that tends to make your face look really old.\u201d<\/p>\n

R Madhavan said transformation time matters significantly to him<\/p>\n

Madhavan further shared his experience when he committed to building a stronger physique, \u201cEven for Irudhi Suttru, when I built up the physique, it took me one and a half years. Most Indian trainers told me I could get it done in three months, and they\u2019re right, you can, if you add your protein shakes and supplements.\u201dThe \u20183 Idiots\u2019 actor further added, \u201cYou can get a physique like that. But to get a proper six-pack is a really tough job, and I have great admiration for actors who manage to achieve it.\u201d<\/p>\n
