Commenting on how he is losing weight scientifically, Aamir said, “For the last three weeks I was in US to focus on weight loss. I was working out in different forms of exercise for six to seven hours in a day which is a lot. I was doing trekking, biking, mountain biking, tennis, swimming, weight training. So different activities throughout the day and it would take roughly six to seven hours. I was only sleeping, eating and working out.” (Also read: Dangal will release on Christmas and not Independence Day, confirms Aamir Khan)
