We are used to seeing our favorite Bollywood celebrities looking good, with their slim waists and literally lean bodies. We often try to emulate them, and say to ourselves, “I wish I had a figure like him/her”. Well, do we ever wonder what they looked like before? Were they always so well maintained, or did it just happen because they wanted it to happen?
Here is The List Who Loss Their Weight before Bollywood Debut.
1. Zareen Khan
Actress Zareen Khan, known for her roles in ‘Hate Story 3’, and ‘Veer’, works mainly for Hindi films, but has also acted in several Tamil, and Telugu films. Zareen Khan revealed in an interview about her body shaming in the Bollywood industry. When she first entered Bollywood, she weighed around 100 kg. But now, with the help of her diet, workouts, and yoga, she has come down to 57 kg.
2. Ganesh Acharya
Gopi from the movie Any Body Can Dance (ABCD) is also on the list. Ganesh Acharya is a well-known Bollywood choreographer. His most notable works include the two superhit films Singham and Bodyguard. In an interview, he revealed that he lost 98 kg, just by following a daily routine, where he eats from 12 noon to 8 pm and nothing outside that time frame.
3. Parineeti Chopra
‘The Girl on the Train’ actress, Parineeti Chopra was once horribly overweight, her debut film ‘Kill Dil’ released in 2014, which failed to make an impression in the industry. Chopra then realized that a 26-year-old girl shouldn’t be so fat and planned to go from fat to fit within 2 years.
4. Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt was told to lose 20 kg before starting the shoot for ‘Student of the Year’. Alia took up the challenge, motivated herself daily, and lost around 16 kg in 6 months. Alia was also seen in blockbuster movies like, ‘Golly Boy’, ‘Dear Zindagi’, ‘Raazi’ and many more. Now he is focused on a very healthy and conscious diet, where he finds alternatives and healthy methods for junk food that he absolutely loves.
5. Sonakshi Sinha
Famously, the ‘Dabangg girl’ was so overweight that she started panting within 30 seconds of running on the treadmill. At the time he was 18 years old, he was excluded from school for being overweight. But then she began to love herself. Although she loves to eat, she has eliminated all junk food from her diet, the only food she allows is pizza. Sonakshi is truly an inspiration to many girls who are suffering from body image issues.
6. Arjun Kapoor
Arjun Kapoor, who shared the screen with Alia Bhatt in ‘2 States’. He claims it took him 3 years to lose 50 kg. Unlike other Bollywood actors, Kapoor was not always toned and heavily built, he worked hard enough to be what he is. This can be taken as a huge inspiration.
7. Sara Ali Khan
From ‘Kedarnath’ to ‘Simmba’, the entire Bollywood industry has made quite an impact. She not only stunned people with her amazing acting skills but also with her amazing transformation. Diagnosed with PCOS, it was very difficult for Sarah to keep her weight under control. During an interview, Sarah said, “We can talk about acceptance and equality, but you don’t watch a movie where your main character is 96 kilos.” From 98 kg to a leading actress with a toned figure, Sara made it possible that even PCOS was not a hindrance to her weight loss.
8. Bhumi Pednekar
Bhumi shared the screen with Ayushmann Khurrana in ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’. Bhumi looked fat in that movie. She lost her weight only by cutting out her favorite foods and not following a heavy workout plan. All she did was follow a very healthy and natural routine like smoothies, bananas, aloe vera juice, etc.
