Losing weight is never an easy task! If you are a Bollywood actor, the pressure to stay fit can be intense to a point that it can even make or break your career. Many B-Town actors like Sonakshi Sinha, Sonam Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar have shed kilos and achieved impressive weight-loss transformations for movie roles, and now Arjun Kapoor has opened up about his struggle with his weight in a recent Instagram post. The actor is preparing for a role in the film Panipat, a period-drama for which he has to achieve a specific warrior-like look. He took to Social Media and put up these two posts showcasing his dedicated efforts to get into shape:

Arjun wrote a heartfelt, tell-all caption, revealing his continuous struggle against obesity. This is what he said:

"It’s been a tough journey for me ever since I was a kid when it comes to my battle with obesity. Everyone has their own struggles I have had and continue to have mine. But the whole point of life is that we fall, we get back up and try again... efforts will pay off eventually if not today then in a week month or even a year... I started training with @shivohamofficial this January and slow and steady we have managed to At least lay a foundation during our prep for Panipat. I vowed never to give up in the 3 years it took me to lose 50kgs when I was 20 years old & I sure as hell won’t be giving up and letting go now... keeping the belief is key, u gotta keep at it and one day you will reap the benefits... we all gotta keep the faith and keep at it cause what we do today will echo in time and reflect within us eventually...".
