Photos: 10 Bollywood celebs who made news for their looks in 2016
Aamir Khan
Aamir Khan is an actor who goes all out to get the perfect look for his character. The actor, who plays the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat in 'Dangal', had to first gain weight and then lose it all to portray the different stages of Phogat's life. A man with a big paunch, white beard, weighing 97 kg with a body fat of 32 per cent — 51-year-old Aamir Khan said he actually enjoyed the process of gaining weight to play the older and heavier wrestler in 'Dangal'. Aamir had the option to use body suit to look fat in the film but the actor decided against it as he wanted to get a perfect body language. The scarier part was to knock off all the excess flab and get six packs abs for which Aamir had only five months.

Randeep Hooda
Randeep Hooda lost 18 kg in just 28 days for 'Sarbjit' which also starred Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Director Omung Kumar said, "When I had approached Randeep for this role, I was very clear in my mind that I need someone who is open about going through a rigorous weight loss, as the role demanded lot of different looks. Randeep took that as a challenge and agreed upon giving 100 percent dedication not to prove that he can do it as an actor but to do justice to the character and the film. The role needed Randeep to look very fragile with his bones being visible. He shed around 18 kgs of weight in 28 days, went through a strict diet and in fact in the last few days he was living completely on water." (Pic/Twitter)
