Big B wrote on Instastory, "Double glasses and ready for the gym. No, you will not follow me there... it is too embarrassing, follow Varun (sic)." Of late, the October actor has been flooding his social networking handles with workout videos and pictures. The actor has been chronicling his every move in the gym. Is this Big B's way of telling him to calm down?
