Talking about his weight loss journey, Badshah had said during an appearance on Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s show, “I had many reasons for losing weight. We did no shows during the lockdown, and when live performances resumed, I realised I didn’t have the stamina. My work requires me to be active for 120 minutes or so when performing on stage. I started panting in just 15 minutes. As a performer, I have to give my best. That was a major reason.”
On the work front, Badshah is currently gearing up for his The Un-Finished Tour in the US.
The tour kicks off with a show in Virginia on September 5, followed by performances in New Jersey, the Bay Area, Seattle, and Dallas, before concluding on September 20 at Now Arena in Chicago.
