Amit sheds a few extra pounds

Actor Amit Verma was on a mission to lose weight it seems. Amit, who marked his debut in Bollywood with Kismat Konnection, which had Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra in the lead, has lost 10 kilos recently.
“I have been approached to do a telefilm by Hemal Thakkar. The role required me to have a normal physique and look lean. He, in no way, should have looked like a model,” informs Amit.
Prod him further about his “leaner image,” and the actor adds, “I have been working very hard on my fitness. I always wanted a lean body and nothing could have been a better opportunity than this. I run a lot and do weights. I also practice a Brazilian form of martial art called Capoeira. It keeps me fit and flexible.”
Amit has tried stunts like walking on hands, performing flips and cartwheels as well. And he believes it is Capoeira which has increased his fitness level. “The best part is that this form of martial art is not an aggressive form,” he says.
