Aamir, newly 51, is now downsizing to play the younger version of his character in the film and finds himself with a surplus of clothing. Here's what he's doing with his XL-sized wardrobe.
At his heaviest, Aamir tipped the scale at over 90 kilos and the massive weight gain meant he has an embarrassment of riches where clothes are concerned. A report in says that the actor will give away the clothes he doesn't need to charity.
