Akshay Kumar, who is counted amongst the fittest and most agile actors in the Hindi film industry, says he does not endorse having six-pack or eight-pack abs and he believes in being fit the natural way.
“It takes a long time to [develop] abs,” Kumar said when asked about the ab trend in Bollywood.
“All that is shown on screen might not be real either. I don’t endorse these six-pack or eight-pack abs. I believe in the natural way of maintaining a good body,” he added.
The 47-year-old, who himself has a well-sculpted body, asserts that rather than focussing on building abs, people should care about their health in the long run.
“The person should also care about his health and future as well. A lot of people depend on products that may give them a good feeling about their bodies for a few days, but the long-term effect is dangerous to their body,” Kumar said.
