EXCLUSIVE: Shah Rukh Khan's fitness trainer Prashant Sawant decodes superstar's mindset; 'Unko pasina nahi aaya toh...'

As a follower who’s been captivated by Bollywood’s magic for as long as I can remember, I must say that Shah Rukh Khan’s journey to maintaining his fitness is nothing short of inspiring. His dedication and discipline are truly commendable.


At the age of 58, Shah Rukh Khan stands out among Bollywood actors for his impressive physical fitness. Numerous young performers look up to him as a source of inspiration regarding physique, and he boasts a vast number of devoted fans. In an interview with TopMob, Shah Rukh’s personal trainer Prashant Shah disclosed that the actor’s mindset and sports background significantly impact his fitness levels. Furthermore, Khan dedicates 45 minutes every day to exercise and works closely with his trainer to create a collaborative approach in maintaining his fitness routine as a team.

Focus on physical fitness has grown significantly among Bollywood stars, with Shah Rukh Khan being a notable influencer. From Om Shanti Om to Pathaan, his chiseled 6 or 8-pack abs have redefined the standards in the industry. In an exclusive chat with TopMob, his trainer of two decades, Prashant Sawant, shared insights into Shah Rukh Khan’s fitness regimen that has resulted in his impressive physique.

Sawant shared that the actor possesses a steadfast mindset, one that has been unwavering throughout his career. He trains as diligently as an athlete, leveraging his sports background to enhance his physical fitness. In his words, “If he doesn’t sweat, he isn’t content, so whether it’s playing a sport or exercising, sweating is something he enjoys greatly.

Beyond doubt, I’m head over heels about King Khan’s physique! When quizzed about it, Prashant shared that the man devotes an impressive 45 minutes daily to sculpting a single body part. He’s relentless in his pursuit of fitness perfection. To add fuel to the fire, SRK doesn’t shy away from getting sweaty with his personal trainer during intense workouts!

Over the course of his career, Shah Rukh Khan has experienced numerous physical injuries while filming. One such injury required him to seek medical attention from a professional named Sawant. As a result, the two have since collaborated closely to help the actor regain and maintain his physical fitness.

Exploring the subject further, he mentioned, “We strive to heal his physical self, and collaborate on his behalf because at times I find his mental approach aids my comprehension. Consequently, we brainstorm tactics and develop methods, sometimes resulting in six-pack abs or even eight-pack abs for his movies.

In the blockbuster movie Pathaan released in 2023, Shah Rukh Khan’s muscular build, featuring his defined abs and large biceps, was one of the standout aspects that drew attention. It’s been revealed that a renowned fitness trainer collaborated with SRK on this transformation as early as 2018, maintaining regular contact via video calls during lockdown periods to help SRK realize his goal for a physical makeover. Clearly, Shah Rukh Khan was dedicated to achieving the body he desired.

In my professional sphere, I recently appeared in Rajkumar Hirani’s movie, Dunki. Currently, I’m immersed in the filming of a new project titled King, directed by Sujoy Ghosh. This exciting venture marks a unique on-screen collaboration with my daughter, Suhana, for the first time.
