It is honestly wild how different the workout vibes are in Bollywood. I was reading some behind-the-scenes stuff from celebrity trainers—specifically Shivoham (who worked on Brahmastra) and some of the other big names—and the contrast between Ranbir, Aamir, and Amitabh is just hilariously on brand for each of them.

Here is the lowdown on how these three icons approach their fitness:
Ranbir Kapoor: The "Reluctant" Muscle Man
Apparently, Ranbir Kapoor has a very specific "no" when it comes to his physique. Unlike many actors who want to look like they could bench press a small car, Ranbir hates looking like a "beast."
The Aesthetic: He prefers a lean, athletic, and "boyish" look. He told his trainers he doesn’t want those huge, bulging veins or traps that touch his ears.
The Struggle: His trainer mentioned that Ranbir actually finds the gym quite boring. He’d much rather be playing football (soccer) for three hours than lifting weights for 45 minutes.
The Diet: He’s a big foodie, so his trainers have a tough time keeping him away from home-cooked meals and sweets, especially since he doesn’t have that "meathead" mindset.
Aamir Khan: The 3 AM Obsessive
We all know Aamir is "Mr. Perfectionist," but his training schedule for movies like Dangal or Ghajini sounds like a literal nightmare for a normal person.
The Timing: His trainers have gone on record saying that if Aamir has a busy shooting schedule, he doesn’t just skip the workout. He’ll call them up and say, "Okay, let’s train at 3:00 AM."
The Intensity: He doesn't just "exercise"; he disappears into the character. If the character needs to be overweight and then shredded, he does it with a level of discipline that is honestly a bit scary.
The Sleep Factor: There were stories during Dangal where he’d finish a shoot at midnight, sleep for two hours, workout, and then go back to set. (I could never... I get cranky if I miss my afternoon nap lol).
Amitabh Bachchan: The Human Stopwatch
The most consistent thing trainers and directors say about Big B isn't about how much he can lift, but about his unreal punctuality.
Never Late: Even at 80+ years old, if his session is at 7:30 AM, he is there at 7:29 AM. Most trainers say he is more disciplined than actors half his age.
The Routine: He doesn't go for the "macho" gym look anymore, obviously. His focus is on mobility, stamina, and core strength so he can stand on set for 12 hours a day.
The Aura: Trainers mention that he never complains. While the younger stars might moan about one more set of lunges, Mr. Bachchan just gets it done with a "Yes, sir" attitude.
It's funny to think about Ranbir trying to avoid muscles while Aamir is doing crunches in the middle of the night and Amitabh is just standing there waiting for everyone else to show up on time.
