Trainer Shivohaam praised Ranbir Kapoor for his discipline and punctuality, noting he only transforms his physique for specific film roles and values normalcy. He also commended other stars like Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan for their dedication and hard work.
Fitness trainer Shivohaam, who has worked with several Bollywood stars in his career, opened up about what it’s like to train someone like Ranbir Kapoor. He lauded Ranbir Kapoor for his punctuality and discipline. He also mentioned that stars like Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan are also always on time.
Shivohaam said, as quoted by SCREEN, “Ranbir Kapoor doesn’t like to look like that [beast] all the time. He’s very normal right now — he’s a father, a husband, and a son. His transformations were done with a specific purpose for each film. Once the role is over, he moves on, and people should do the same… If you want to learn something from Ranbir, it’s his discipline. The man is punctual to the T.”
He continued, “I can count on my fingers the number of times Ranbir has been late. And even if he’s five minutes behind, he always sends a message saying, ‘Sorry, I’m running five minutes late.’ That’s something to learn from and aspire to. He’s a beautiful human being — his body language, the way he speaks… You call him ‘Khandaani’ for a reason. He’s genuine.”
The fitness recalled training Aamir Khan and said, “I remember when I was working with Aamir Khan for Laal Singh Chaddha — it used to take him 2-3 hours to put on the beard and makeup. We trained at 3 AM because after that, he had to sit for a makeup and do his shift.”
He added, “With Ranbir, if he has a 7 AM shift, he will still make time to train for at least half an hour. We set up a small gym on set so he could train during lunch.” He also said, “I have had amazing experiences with everyone I have worked with — Ram Charan, Amitabh Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez. Even at this age, Amitabh Bachchan is always on time, unless he has a meeting.”
Shivohaam concluded, “They are not successful because of anything other than their passion and discipline. Luck may favour you for a brief period, but after that, it’s all about what you make of it. People think shooting is glamorous, but it’s not — it’s a lot of hard work.”
