Hrithik Roshan asked to shed weight

Girls, take heart. The slim fad frazzles everyone.
Even super fit Hrithik, who you thought was perfect, was asked to lose inches
before a clothing brand shoot. They say one can never be too rich or too thin.
Ask Hrithik Roshan who was asked to shed his muscles in order to look lean
before he shot for a clothesline ad. This despite the fact that Hrithik is one
of the fittest actors in the Hindi film industry. A close friend of Hrithik
said, “The brief given to Hrithik by the ad filmmakers was that they wanted him
to sport a lean look.

Being the perfectionist that he is, the actor was
determined to work towards achieving his new look even though papa Rakesh Roshan
wasn’t too happy with the fact that his son was going to shed his muscles.
Rakesh Roshan argued with Hrithik asking him not to shed any weight or muscle as
he would soon start working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next untitled film and
the lean look would not suit his character too well. But Hrithik stuck to his
decision and decided to get lean as he wanted to do justice to the ad.

While Hrithik earlier had a muscular body and a
30-inch waistline, his waist is now 28 inches,” added the source. And here we
thought that only actresses needed to worry about their waistlines.
