Parmish Verma is all pumped up for ‘Singham’

Ever since Parmish Verma announced that he has bagged the lead in the Punjabi remake of Ajay Devgn’s ‘Singham’, he has been turning heads. The artist who is currently busy with the shoot of ‘Dil Diyaan Gallan’, recently took to his social media handle to post an all pumped picture of his with the caption ‘Singham 2019’. Perhaps, the already beast-bod Punjabi gabru is working more on his physic for the project.

As a matter of fact, recently Parmish also injured himself in the gym. His finger got hurt while he in his all intense work out mode hit the gym. Perhaps even then the artist was prepping up for his 2019 release.

Gurnazar flaunts chiseled abs for his next song

Punjabi singer Gurnazar, who is known for his chocolate boy looks has set the temperature high with his recent physical transformation. The ‘Koi Vi Nahi’ fame, has broken a lot of sweat to flaunt a chiseled pack of abs.


In a recent word with ETimes, Gurnazar said that this transformation was the need of the upcoming song, which is a sad Punjabi track. Though he didn’t reveal the title of the song, he spilled beans about his character in the track and said, “My character in the song goes through a really rough pack in his life and loses his calm owing to the same. The character and the stroline of the song has been sketched that way that I had to work on my physic. Moreover, I really wanted to go a mile extra at this point of time.”


Gurnazar has been working out for minimum four hours from past one and half month to get the right look. Besides intensive workout, the songster also took a very strict diet to get those abs.

Punjabi celebrities who underwent a physical transformation for work

Remember those six pack abs Diljit had in ‘Sardaar Ji 2’ or the chiseled body of Parmish Verma in ‘Rocky Mental’? For a second you must have thought that with those steaming bodies, the Punjabi gabrus just added to global warming. However, as an audience, the naked eyes only see the actors flaunting off their perfectly toned body, but we rarely acknowledge the amount of sweat they shed to get into that shape. So today let’s walk down the lane that takes us to the behind the camera work Punjabi artists do to look fab on the screen. Run down to get a glimpse of the Punjabi celebrities who underwent a physical transformation for their work.
4/8

Gippy Grewal

Usually, an actor is asked to shed weight for his on-screen appearance, but there are roles that demand a lot more than that. For playing the main lead in the movie ‘Subedar Joginder Singh’, Punjabi actor-singer Gippy Grewal had to put on some weight. Since the actor had to do justice to his character, he didn’t mind putting on a few kilos.
5/8

Diljit Dosanjh

For his 2016 released movie ‘Sardaar Ji 2’, Diljit Dosanjh had to cut down a lot of fat from his body, especially from the midriff. The actor hit the gym, followed a strict routine to get those chiseled abs. Though he is a self-confessed foodie and it’s always paranthas over anything for him, the actor refused to cut a slack when it came to his work. Even for his upcoming Bollywood project, ‘Soorma’ Diljit has trained really hard to get the athletic body.
6/8

Ammy Virk

All geared up for his soon to release biopic ‘Harjeeta’, Ammy Virk did all that it took to fit into the shoes of national hockey player Harjeet Singh Tuli. The recently released poster of the movie showed his uncanny resemblance to the player. Those perfectly shaped abs in the picture were not always a part of Ammy’s personality. The actor-singer really spent hours in training and workout to get those washboard abs right.
7/8

Ranjit Bawa

Another Punjabi actor who underwent a physical transformation for his work is Ranjit Bawa. The Punjabi singer-actor has been the talk of the town for quite some time owing to his upcoming movie. ‘Khido Khundi’. In the movie, the actor portrays the role of a hockey player and thus, he trained intensively and worked hard to get a lean-mean body. Tight calves, toned biceps and triceps were the demand of the character and Ranjit Bawa just surrendered to the demand completely.
8/8

Harrdy Sandhu

Look left; look right; well, now you can go all awe. The ‘Soch’ fame Punjabi singer Harrdy Sandhu earlier had a cuteness quotient attached to his personality. However, now that has been replaced by the sudden influx of hotness. With not even half an inch of extra fat anywhere, Harrdy Sandhu has just nailed his journey from fat to fab. Back then the singer was mostly associated with soulful romantic songs like ‘Soch’, ‘Na Ji Na’ and ‘Joker’, but as time called for peppy tracks, Harrdy Sandhu just got a new avatar. The new Harrdy doesn’t have a round face, but a sharp jawline and while you roll your eyes down, we bet you will get stuck at those killer abs.
