While some fans expressed concern about his health, others defended the actor, noting that physical changes are normal and praising him for his talent regardless of looks.
Usman, known for his roles in Anaa and Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay, has not yet responded to the online buzz surrounding his transformation.
Usman Mukhtar’s recent weight gain is likely for an upcoming role, as the actor has previously stated that he gains or loses weight as required by his characters.
He has also opened up about having an eating disorder in the past and manages his fitness through strict diet and exercise when needed.
Mukhtar mentioned in a previous interview that “for certain roles you have to gain or lose weight according to your character, so it is always something new when a project is starting.”
This suggests the recent change is likely a professional choice rather than a health concern.
The actor is known to be health-conscious and an avid gym-goer, engaging in weight training, MMA, and boxing.
