Rang De Basanti, Actor Siddharth has always been vocal about critical issues. To be honest, it is not easy to put your opinion out there. It takes a lot of courage to do that. Often stories in Bollywood are misconstrued and twisted in many ways, but this does not stop Siddharth to speak his mind out. This time he took his Twitter to talk about unrealistic body standards.
Exaggerated fantasies he termed and recalled late Dara Singh on his death anniversary. Siddharth wrote, “This is how strong men in cinema used to look back in the day. Today you see exaggerated fantasies that look nothing like what a body should. And achieved with steroids and growth hormones to boot.”
This is how real strong men in cinema used to look back in the day. Today you see exaggerated fantasies that look nothing like what a body should. And achieved with steroids and growth hormones to boot. Remembering real #DaraSingh.

And equipment has changed as well. More machines for muscle isolation. Earlier only strength was targeted not overall body training.

Are you even close to this body type? And do you even understand how these hormones affect the body? I still don’t understand how come you actors start giving health related advice on internet without knowing about the how hormones work, which gland is involved .
