Azam Khan has once again set social media ablaze but this time, it’s not because of a no-look six or a cheeky scoop over fine leg. It’s his physical transformation or what the internet thought was a transformation that had fans rubbing their eyes in disbelief.
Azam Khan Shuts Down Viral Weight Loss Rumours
A photo recently went viral claiming Azam Khan had lost a jaw-dropping 69 kilograms in two months. That is not just a few kilos, that is a whole new person!
Fans were buzzing like a hornet’s nest on social media. Some called it "unreal," others "inspirational," while a few raised their eyebrows.
Well, guess what? Azam Khan has put all the chatter to bed on his Instagram story.
“Work in progress but this is from 2020,” Azam wrote on his Instagram, sharing the viral picture himself.
Turns out, the viral photo wasn’t recent at all. It was from 2020. Azam’s clearly on a fitness grind, but the claims of losing 69 kilos in 60 days? That is a bit too wild.
While his progress is visible and fans are rooting for his return, the idea of such extreme weight loss left many scratching their heads. Losing that kind of weight in just eight weeks is not only unrealistic, it could be downright dangerous.
Azam Has Faced The Heat Before
This isn’t the first time Azam’s weight has been the centre of attention. In fact, back in 2021, reports suggested he had already lost around 30 kg to meet national fitness standards. And the Pakistan cricketer has taken every dig and every troll in his stride.
In an older interview, Azam had said that he can’t change his body structure and that not everyone was meant to be slim. He added that he tries to stay fit and focus on performance.
So no, Azam Khan hasn’t dropped 69 kilos. But what’s clear is that he is grinding behind the scenes. He is building, hustling and staying in the nets, away from the limelight. Fans will be hoping that all this off-field work soon reflects on the scorecard.
