Gaurav Arora is a known name in the world of modelling. The supermodel after years of struggle has finally made it into the world of entertainment. He has now found his footing in the OTT space with projects like Broken But Beautiful 2 and Asur. The handsome hunk who is known to get into the skin of his character opened up on the transformation he underwent between Asur and Aadha Ishq.
For his role in Asur, Gaurav first piled on the pounds and then shed it down to a chiselled physique for his role in the turbulent love drama ‘Aadha Ishq’.
In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Bubble host, Akash Bhatnagar, the actor cum model Gaurav Arora opened up on his fat to fit journey.
He said, “See what happens is that it might not be fat according to common standards. But if I go like that shirtless I will be trolled for my look. When you see it on screen, I mean when a role requires you to be in a particular shape you can’t be unfit. I was unfit and fat by my own standards during Asur. There was a sequence in Asur and luckily I had time for it where I thought if I put weight it will add to my character, my director was also very happy about it and as I had time to put on weight I did.”

He added, “When I was doing that for Asur I got a call from Aadha Ishq. The makers said that they want to see me in a specific shape. Luckily I had a month on my hand to lose the fat accumulated for Asur. But it did require a lot of hard work, I used to train twice a day and also used to do cardio on empty stomach in the morning and in the evening I used to do weight training. I also followed a strict diet before and also throughout my shoot. Earlier for Asur, I was eating all my favourite food and then suddenly for four months nothing at all.”
