He looks gaunt and underweight. His cheekbones stick out prominently. His once famed six-packs have become a thing of the past. And, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is the first to admit that he's lost weight. "Yes, I have lost a lot of weight," he rues. "I need to put some weight on... even the kids (Aryan and Suhana) are thinking I am a 90 pound pushover weakling. I can't be an under-nourished superhero, can I?" adds the actor, who is currently busy shooting for his sci-fi superhero flick, Ra.1, which also stars Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal, and is scheduled for release next year.
The reason for SRK's weight loss is, to say the least, strange. "It's because I had been wearing a superhero suit for Ra.One. The suit is made of silicon and styrofoam and rubber and, after wearing that suit for eight to nine hours daily, you tend to lose weight." Not only did the actor sweat constantly inside the suit, he couldn't even eat properly during the 40 days that he was supposed to wear it.
