Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who is known for his fit body and for being a mentor to younger stars as far as fitness is concerned, shared in a candid moment recently that it is tough to maintain the same fitness level as one grows older.

At the launch of a fitness channel, Salman said, “As a young man, I initially started working out to gain weight for acting and modeling so that I could look older than I was. Nowadays, the focus is on losing weight by working out. It does get tougher to stay fit as one grows older, but as they say, no pain, no gain’.”

Salman will be next seen playing a wrestler from Haryana in YRF flick ‘Sultan’ and a prince in Sooraj Barjatya’s ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’.
