Over the years, Salman Khan has mentored actors like Hrithik Roshan (Kaho Na Pyaar Hai), Sonu Sood (Dabanng) and more recently, Arjun Kapoor (Boney Kapoor's son, for his debut), to be fit and have a shapely body. It was time another Khan, Shah Rukh, shared the secret behind his amazing abs with good friend Samir Soni.

On Friday night, when SRK threw a party at Mannat for his Bollywood buddies, he noticed that his recently-married friend, Samir Soni had piled on some extra kilos. So, Khan decided to play his fitness guru. He not only gave some tips to Samir but also invited him over to his gym at Mannat to sweat it out every night, errr... in the gym, we meant. Samir, on the other hand, was amazed at how fit King Khan always managed to remain. "I have known Shah Rukh for a while now and am amazed at how fit he has always been. He has been consistently fit and he's not even 20-years-old anymore, you know. When I mentioned this to him, he immediately picked up his shirt and showed me his abs," said Samir to Mumbai Mirror. SRK then went on to give Samir some tips on how to lose the extra flab and keep off rice and chapattis and stick to proteins. Though Samir may not take him up on his offer to gym with him every night, as SRK is a busy man, he has already removed rice and chapattis from his diet.

"I realised that I had started to let go after I got married. But Shah Rukh is so passionate about everything he does, even about keeping fit. He can inspire anyone. In fact, I wanted to rush to the gym as soon as I left his house that night!" Samir, who is married to actress and jewellery designer, Neelam Kothari, was last seen in the controversial Bigg Boss 4. He is now keen to shed the extra weight for Ekta Kapoor and Balaji's next soap, Parichay, where he plays the lead. The show is expected to go on air in the first week of August. Hope SRK notices the difference in Samir's weight!
