Imran Khan Confesses Using Steroids for Masculine Look Like Salman and Hrithik

Imran Khan recently talked about how actors feel pressured to look good and appear masculine. He noted that while women have always faced pressure to look attractive and youthful, this expectation is now extending to men too, especially with the popularity of superhero movies in both Western and Hindi films.

Imran said,  “In the last 2010-20 years, it started to become a pressure point for men as well. Particularly with the rise of the superhero genre, and Hrithik was the proponent of that. Even back in the 90s, Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt were massively masculine dudes. When you see it more and more, you start to feel the pressure and say to yourself, ‘I need to look like that.’ Social media has also intensified it.”

He also added that, “For a long time, I tried to conform to that, but I am not built like Captain America; I don’t have a Thor physique. I tried my best. I took all of the stuff. I resorted to steroid use as well, but it’s not sustainable,”
