‘Kartik Aaryan PR ka baap hai’ says Alia Bhatt’s half-brother Rahul Bhatt; recalls training him for Chandu Champion: ‘Mere upar shak karta tha’

Kartik Aaryan is a highly acclaimed actor in Bollywood, known for captivating audiences with diverse characters. In the lineup of successful films, Kartik’s remarkable physical transformation in the 2024 film “Chandu Champion” directed by Kabir Khan left everyone speechless. More recently, Rahul Bhatt, a well-known fitness guru, discussed his collaboration with Aaryan on set.

Alia Bhatt’s sibling Rahul Bhatt served as the personal trainer of Kartik Aaryan during the making of Chandu Champion under director Kabir Khan. When queried about his time working with Aaryan, he disclosed that their training sessions lasted for more than a year and highlighted that Aaryan had no prior knowledge or experience in strength training.

He mentioned that in addition to boxing, another skill he needed to master, he also had to learn swimming. It was quite challenging for him, but he managed to accomplish it. He’s not a professional athlete like Tiger Shroff or others, but he did it anyway.

Bhatt went on to mention how Kartik was hesitant about his training at first, but things eventually worked out smoothly. “Initially, he had doubts…now if you observe me and Aamir together in this field, it’s crucial for us to have a good rapport,” he continued, emphasizing the need for a harmonious relationship with the coach, implying that comfort is essential as well.

In simpler terms, the well-known fitness instructor emphasized that ultimately, a person must rely on their personal trainers, regardless of feelings towards them. Additionally, he shared insights gained from the actor who portrayed Naagzilla.

He was extremely courteous and always on time, demonstrating true professionalism repeatedly. There’s much I’ve learned from him, including the art of self-promotion; he excels at it, to say the least. However, if being a movie star today requires abilities I don’t possess, then I don’t qualify for such roles. Instead, I am fit only to be a bodybuilder, he concluded.
