This Actor Could Barely Walk But Now Doing Action With Salman. How Did The Game Change?
He did something in gym which landed him in serious trouble. He was down- but not out. With great determination, he got up on his feet and said 'I shall again rise... like a Phoenix from the Ashes'. And lo! He did. He is Saqib Salim, Huma Qureshi's brother
So, Saqib Salim was confined to bed for nearly a month.
Reason- His doctor had strictly forbidden him from getting up, or else...
He did, only to attend the Nature's call. Result- He put
on 10 kg.
Talking EXCLUSIVELY to SpotboyE.com this afternoon, Saqib
said, "When I looked into the mirror after a month when I could resume
most of my normal activities, I was shocked. I knew I had put on because I was
eating everything wrong during my convalescence, but like this? Every muscle
and curve had gone out of shape. Bloody hell! I have been a sportsman and I
surely couldn't take this lying down.
Saqib Saleem's Amazing Transformation
I had to do something pronto, but how? At this point, I
start training rigorously with Vilayat Hussain. Viulayat trains the likes of
Kabir Khan and Mini Mathur, and he is really very good. Actually, my sister
Huma (Quereshi) had introduced me to him.
But wait a minute. Why had his back gone for a toss?
"Well I had done excessive weight-training, much against the advice
of Vilayat. You know how it is! We all get pretty excited in gym."

Over to Vilayat's rescue act. "Well, he put me on a
very different regime of Action Training, Yoga and even Weight Training. I
realised that every body is different, so is mine- and let's take to this new
course like a duck takes to water."
It took Saqib 3 months before he heaved a sigh of relief,
but this sigh was accompanied by a 'Hurrah'. Saqib had got into great shape (as
seen in the BEFORE and AFTER pictures).

"And of course, I had monitored my diet all along. I
remember when I hit the gym back after my injury, the results were not coming.
I wondered why, but it is here that I was told that unless a particular diet- I
won't achieve the desired result."
So for now, it's no carbohydrates, no rotis, no meat and
no milk products for Saqib. "In fact, I have started eating a lot of
vegetables, which I otherwise didn't. Strangely, Broccoli which I had
never tasted in my life is now like my best friend."

So, all said and done, how much time did he devote to his
Return to Fitness? "Oh yes, you can call it Return To Fitness because when
I put on weight, I had lost quite a bot of stamina. It's all back now. As for
your question of how much time I gave to my hardcore training programme,
the answer is 3-4 hours every day."
And is this all a preparation too for Race 3 (cast led by
Salman Khan), we asked? SpotboyE.com had broken the story that Saqib and Daisy
Shah play twins in Race 3

Saqib informs that Salman too helped him in a big way.
"I look up to him. He is so fit. He is a legend. He pout me on to some
action guys, because my role in Race 3 requires me to do a lot of dare-devilry.
It was going to be fun I knew- but it required a certain method. That is where
Salman's action guys came as a blessing."
And has he shown his NEW body to Salman? "Of course,
I did. And he liked what he saw. I am raring to go now."
Go for it, Saqib! You must win the Race!
