Imran Khan acknowledges using anabolic steroids to bulk up and hearing that “heroines look bigger than you.”
In the world of sports and entertainment, the pressure to maintain a certain physical appearance can be overwhelming. Celebrities, athletes, and public figures are often scrutinized for their bodies, and sometimes, the desire to meet unrealistic standards can lead to drastic measures. Recently, former Pakistani cricketer and current Prime Minister, Imran Khan, made headlines when he acknowledged using anabolic steroids to bulk up. His admission sheds light on the extreme pressures individuals in the public eye face to conform to societal expectations.
The Pressures of Stardom
Imran Khan has been an icon in Pakistan for decades, first gaining fame as a cricket superstar and later transitioning into politics. His rise to fame and success has undoubtedly come with its own set of challenges, including the constant scrutiny of his physical appearance. It’s no secret that the world of sports and politics often demands a certain level of fitness and physical prowess, and Khan was no exception.
The Shocking Admission
In a candid interview, Imran Khan admitted to using anabolic steroids to achieve a bulkier physique. He confessed that he succumbed to the pressure to look bigger and more muscular, influenced by comments from others. Khan mentioned hearing remarks like “heroines look bigger than you,” which likely added to his insecurities. This revelation has sparked a conversation about the lengths people will go to in order to meet societal expectations, even when it involves potentially harmful substances.
The Dangers of Anabolic Steroids
Anabolic steroids are synthetic substances that mimic the effects of testosterone in the body. They are often used by athletes and bodybuilders to gain muscle mass and enhance their physical performance. However, these drugs come with a host of health risks, including:
- Cardiovascular Issues: Steroids can increase blood pressure and cholesterol levels, raising the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Anabolic steroids disrupt the body’s natural hormone production, leading to issues like infertility, breast development in men, and voice deepening in women.
- Liver Damage: Prolonged steroid use can damage the liver, leading to conditions like jaundice and liver tumors.
- Psychological Effects: Steroid abuse can lead to mood swings, aggression, and psychiatric disorders like depression and anxiety.
- Physical Side Effects: Users may experience acne, hair loss, and severe muscle and joint pain.
Imran Khan’s admission highlights the dangers of succumbing to societal pressures and resorting to unhealthy measures to meet unrealistic physical standards.
The Importance of Self-Acceptance
Imran Khan’s experience serves as a reminder that self-acceptance and self-love are paramount. The pressure to conform to societal standards can be all-consuming, but it’s essential to prioritize one’s health and well-being above all else. Rather than seeking validation from others, it’s crucial to focus on self-improvement in a healthy and sustainable way.
Imran Khan Opens Up About His Steroid Use and the Pressure to Look Bigger
Imran Khan’s acknowledgment of using anabolic steroids to bulk up sheds light on the immense pressure public figures face to meet unrealistic physical standards. His story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of resorting to extreme measures to conform to societal expectations. Ultimately, self-acceptance and a commitment to one’s health should take precedence over external pressures and criticisms. It’s a reminder that true strength lies in being authentic and taking care of one’s well-being, both physically and mentally.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”
In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.
What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”
This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”
Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.
Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.
When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”
“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
