HOW Ranbir Kapoor's trainer is HELPING Karan Johar to LOSE his excess BAGGAGE!

Karan Johar is on a mission to lose weight. Ranbir Kapoor’s physical transformation for the Sanjay Dutt biopic impressed the director, and he asked the actor about his trainer. RK put him onto his trainer Kunal Gir. During Bombay Velvet too, Ranbir had recommended his trainer to KJo.

Kunal says, “Ranbir told me Karan is interested in losing weight. After his children’s birth and his hectic lifestyle Karan felt he had put on weight and wanted to be fit again. Ranbir recommended me to him. Karan told me his immediate objective was to lose excess weight and get fit. Currently, he is following the ketogenic diet which includes no-sugar and no-carbs. He has to consume more fibre in his diet as his body type needs it. Hence Karan is eating more vegetables and meat now. While Ranbir had to bulk up and eat eight meals a day, Karan has lesser number of meals with less food as he has to burn fat.”

Besides that the filmmaker also does workouts. Adds Gir, “We make him do strenuous workouts in the pool. Since he has a sensitive lower back, on the days when he suffers from a strained back, we work out in the pool and do aqua therapy. He works out for an hour every day. In the gym he does high intensity cardio and weight training. He has started lifting heavier weights now. The best thing is that he lost five kgs in the first 15 days as he wanted to lose that amount before his birthday.”

For Karan and Ranbir, Kunal stays in Mumbai four days a week. “For the weekend I am in Hyderabad training Rana Daggubati and other clients.”
