Kartik Aaryan has not missed a single workout session since wrapping up the shoot for his upcoming sports biopic Chandu Champion a month ago, his fitness coach Tridev Pandey revealed in an Instagram post on Saturday, heaping praise on the actor for his dedication to staying fit.

“It’s been one month after wrapping up Chandu Champion🎬 @kartikaaryan’s dedication throughout has been amazing,” Tridev, who is also the fitness coach of actresses Sanya Malhotra and Shweta Tripathi Sharma, wrote alongside a mirror selfie with Kartik.

“A lot of people steer off the path after hitting the target, but I’m proud of Kartik for staying determined and focused,” he added.

In the picture, we can see a visibly ripped Kartik sporting a Royal blue stringer vest and olive colour trousers. He pairs his outfit with a crimson beanie, a hand band and grip wristband.

Kartik recently shared a video of him working out at a gym while an elderly woman lifted weights beside him. “Dadi on fire 🔥🔥Don’t focus on me…but focus on the Champion behind me,” the 33-year-old actor wrote, adding that she always works out in the gym and is an inspiration for him.

The actor also recently revealed that he tasted sugar for the first time in a year after wrapping up the shoot of Chandu Champion as he had adhered to a year-long sugar-free diet.

“This RasMalai Tasted Like Victory! Finally eating sugar after a year! After more than a year of intense preparation and 8 months of day-n-night shoots across the globe, today we complete the shooting journey of #ChanduChampion,” Kartik wrote alongside a video of him taking a bite of rasmalai given to him by director Kabir Khan to celebrate the shoot wrap.

Throughout the shooting process, Kartik actively shared moments from his workout sessions which showcase his dedication towards his physical transformation. A video shared by the actor shows him racing with Tridev and outrunning the latter. “Chasing Goals #ChanduChampion 🫶🏻,” Kartik captioned the reel.

Directed by Kabir Khan, Chandu Champion is slated to hit theatres on June 14.

Kabir is well-known for his films Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and 83 (2021). Chandu Champion marks his first tie-up with Kartik.

On the work front, Kartik was last seen in Sameer Vidwans’s romantic drama film Satyaprem Ki Katha alongside Kiara Advani. He is also set to star in Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 alongside Triptii Dimri and Vidya Balan.
