Incredible Indian celebrity weight loss transformations

Here are the top Indian celebrity weight loss transformations that will inspire you. Learn how these celebrities did it.

Sonakshi Sinha

Sonakshi Sinha made her debut opposite Salman Khan in the film ‘Dabangg’. But did you know that before she entered films, she used to weigh 90 kgs?

That’s indeed true!

Alia Bhatt reads in newspaper: Police catch 80 kg heroine. Alia: Oh no, Sonakshi pakdi gayi!!

The above joke sums it all!

But then, probably, destiny had something else written for her. While studying fashion design, she realized that she needed to lose at least one-third of her weight, not just to look good but also to feel healthy.

A determined Sonakshi turned things around, and lost all that weight through a combination of cardio, swimming, tennis, hot yoga, and following a proper diet regime.

“It is important to condition your mind and be patient during the process,” Sonakshi Sinha.

Sinha is thankful to Salman Khan, who motivated her to lose those extra pounds. Sonakshi said she hated going to the gym initially.

Sonakshi, with the help of fitness guru Yasmin Karachiwala, and lots of determination and self-motivation, become thinner and lighter.

Sonakshi Sinha Shows Middle finger to her Weight Critics

Almost everybody enjoys taking potshots at Sonakshi Sinha, especially her weight. She was called a ‘fat cow’ on her birthday, and some even suggested that her forehead be declared a new state in India and compared it to an eight-inch highway.

All these while, Sonakshi took all these weight-related comments in her stride, but not any longer, She has decided to give it back. On a social site, she had no hesitation in showing her middle finger to her haters. Junior Sinha posted a photo of a skeleton on her Instagram account and wrote the following message as the caption:

To all those who keep commenting on my weight, whether it’s a full picture or a close-up where you can’t see jack. Take a good look at this picture. Now get this: 1) this aint ever gonna be me. 2) get over it. 3) i wish u could see which finger i hold up for shallow and idiotic people like yourself.

“I am here to act and not be size zero,” Sinha had said in an interview, in the initial stages of her career, and almost everybody had cheered for her, because almost everybody in Bollywood was taking the size-zero thing quite seriously.

Adnan Sami

Here’s how the overweight singer, Adnan Sami, managed to lose so much weight.

Adnan Sami may not be a fitness guru but the way he has transformed himself from an overweight person to a lean and fit-looking person is highly commendable, something that most of his fans would be eager to achieve as well. There will surely be many who’d eagerly hear him out on the subject of ‘weight loss’.

Sami, born in London, once weighed more than 200 kgs, but managed to slim down a lot, with great dedication and helpful advice from his doctor. Adnan Sami knows that there are several factors such as genes, emotional issues and metabolism rates that have an impact on a person’s weight. But with the right guidance and dedication, it is possible to lose a substantial amount of weight.

Earlier when Adnan was really obese, he took the help of a nutritionist and a doctor to lose weight, but lacked the willpower to do the steps that were required of him. Later, when Adnan’s father threatened to walk out of his life unless he resolved to regain his health, Adnan moved to Houston and handed himself over to an experienced nutritionist.

It’s indeed an achievement that Adnan Sami managed to lose more than 125 Kgs.

“I did not undergo any weight-loss surgery. It was all thanks to a high-protein diet – no oil, no sugar, and well, lots of will power,” Adnan Sami.

Here’s what Adnan has to say about losing weight:

• Be ready to make lifestyle changes.
• You have to be a tortoise and stick to the path. Adnan says, “Remember: you are doing it for yourself”.

Adnan Sami’s unshakable willpower is indeed motivating, and one should choose a weight-loss plan that suits his/her own body type.

Billionaire Son ‘Anant Ambani’

Once a butt of jokes, billionaire son ‘Anant’ gives it back with his amazing weight loss transformation.

Anant Ambani is Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani & Nita Ambani’s youngest son, and he managed to lose 108 Kgs over a period of 18 months.

All those who are probably thinking that Anant did some sort of surgery to get rid of that excess baggage (probably because he’s a billionaire) need to appreciate his dedication. It was indeed a slow process, and now everybody can see that it was worth it.

Being obese and the son of Mukesh ambani, Anant was a soft target for everybody on the social media, with hundreds of jokes floating around his obesity.

The most popular tweet was this one from Sir Ravindra Jadeja ‏@SirJadeja16h.
Red alert. = Expected earthquake in Kolkata later tonight coz Anant Ambani will be doing jhamping jhapang after MI win

Even the Photoshop guys were making fun of Anant.

However, Anant was determined to prove therm wrong!

On his 21st birthday bash, Anant stunned everyone at the Wankhede stadium when he turned up for an IPL match. Since then everybody (including Salman Khan, MS Dhoni) has been raving about his cool new look.

So happy to see Anant Ambani,lots of respect n sooo happy fr him.Takes a lot of willpower to loose 108kgs in 18mnths pic.twitter.com/Rfd6pgAeEn

How did Anant Ambani gain that excess weight?
As a child, Anant Ambani suffered from chronic asthma, and the strong medication prescribe resulted in drastic weight gain.

How Anant lost 180kg in 18 months
Anant did it naturally and safely, over a period of 18 months, by following a very strict diet (zero sugar and low carb diet) and exercising daily for about five-six hours.

His exercise routine included long walks, yoga, weight training, high-intensity cardio exercises to name a few.

Now this is what I call dedication guys! “108” that number is not a joke!#AnantAmbani hats off!! 😊👍👍 #healthiswealth pic.twitter.com/wxm8awc599

Parineeta Chopra

A strong determination to lose weight and be fit drove Parineeti to shed all those extra kilos. Besides taking up physical activities like jogging, yoga, horseback riding, swimming, and running, she also said goodbye to pizza, burgers and other junk food.

Losing weight was not easy for Parineeti, because she loved food. But, once she made up her mind, she underwent a rigorous workout regime and a strict diet plan to shed those extra pounds.

Even after doing a few films, when she had some time on her hand, she again underwent a rigorous workout program to further lose weight. Not many liked her new look, as they felt she looked way to thin.

Parineeti looks nowhere close to the bubbly girl that she was when she entered Bollywood. However, the actress makes it clear that she is not in any way endorsing the idea of being thin. Instead, she feels that her trim figure is all about endorsing fitness.

Parineeti says that she lost weight because she wanted to have better stamina and control over her body.

“I am a young woman and there is no reason for me to look fat. I want to look great. I am taking care of myself and I am losing even more weight because I want to look better. Besides, I am in a visual medium and should be able to compete with every good-looking actress.”

Contrary to what many feel, ‘Pari’ definitely didn’t go under the knife. The real secret behind her skinny appearance is a detox program in Austria, where no surgery is involved.

“Under this program, the patient has to undergo several tests in order to determine his/her body type. Depending on that, a diet chart for six months is drawn, which the clients have to strictly adhere to. Depending on the program, the 15 to 30 day course costs between Rs. ‘5-10 lakh'”

Bhumi Pednekar

Bhumi Pednekar made a terrific transformation and lost almost 30kgs after her debut film Dum Laga ke Haisha. 

Bhumi Pednekar was lauded for accepting a challenging role in her very first film, and she had gained those extra kilos for that role. “I used to consume 4000 calories a day to put extra weight for the film,” said Bhumi.

Post the movie, Bhumi got herself back in shape looking well-toned and quite fit.

Black makes my mood go 😍Major Love @rahuljhangiani @muskaan.goswami ❤️🙏🏻😘 Can’t stop posting these #happymorning #tooglamtogiveadamn

“I simply went back to my normal routine and ghar ka khaana, to lose the extra kilos. Of course I chose low calorie food, going more for channa roti instaed of wheat flour and everything else cooked by my mother. Also, I adopted physical activity like walking and playing badminton.”

The actress was never shy about sharing her weight loss journey (probably because she knew she would lose it anyways, as she had gained it for a role) and would occasionally post weight loss tips on Instagram.

Here are some weight loss tips shared by Bhumi on Instagram that are quite easy to follow.

Here’s the first step to losing weight:

Here’s what she has for breakfast:

Hello lovelies… Starting this week, I will be sharing what my diet consists of and how much I eat (which is a lot, trust me). I start my mornings with a glass of warm or detox water and thirty minutes later, I eat muesli with skimmed milk and flax or sunflower seeds. Then comes the king-sized breakfast (an hour before gymming) of whole-wheat bread with 2 egg white omelets and a fruit (papaya or apple). I alternate between cardio and weights at the gym; it is rigorous so 5 boiled egg whites after that are a must. There is nothing healthier than kick-starting your day with a breakfast like this. Stomach this recommendation for now, next week I will share with you my lunch menu for losing it like me 🙂 #LoseItLikeBhumi

This is what she ate for lunch – filling and healthy:

Hello you happy people. As promised, here’s what I eat for lunch: Simple, home-cooked wholesome food that includes roti, sabzi and dal. I eat everything but a healthy version of it. So my rotis are not made of wheat but of bajra, jowar, nachni, soya, chana or rajgira and topped with a little white butter. You can mix all these grains together to make a power-packed multi grain roti or use them individually. My dal has tadka and the sabzi has oil but olive oil used in moderation. There is always a bowl of homemade dahi or a glass of chaas (with salt and some jeera) to go with the meal. On days where I’m out or in the mood for a different flavour, I opt for other healthy options like grilled chicken, brown bread vegetable and grilled chicken sandwich (I like using hummus/honey mustard, green chutney or just little olive oil if I want to grill it as a spread instead of butter or any other trans-fat spread), hummus with cucumber and carrots, nutri-nuggets or some home made chicken gravy cooked in very little oil with a bowl of brown rice. This meal would be anywhere between 400 to 500 calories and under 80 grams of carbs. I don’t starve, just eat healthy and work out😘💃🔥 #LoseItLikeBhumi

And the best thing to eat in the later half of the day:

Hello you smiling festive people, I hope my last few posts have been helpful. These are things that worked for me. Today, I am sharing what I eat in the second half of the day 😎 At around 4-4.30pm, I eat half a papaya or an apple / pear / guava. After an hour or so, I have a cup of green tea with few almonds or walnuts. Around 7:00pm, I have a big bowl of salad with all salad greens, maybe add an apple, and some walnuts or some dried berries if seasonal ones are unavailable – dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar or some olive chilli oil with garlic and mustard, or some apple cider vinegar. I try and make this fun, so at times I add grilled chicken or feta cheese. By 8.30pm, I have my dinner which is usually grilled fish or chicken (there are a lot of easy-to-make recipes available on the internet. Keep experimenting!). On days I want to eat a vegetarian meal, it is usually fresh, grilled or slightly pan cooked paneer / tofu, stir fried or steamed vegetables (seasoned as you like) with a small cup of brown rice or a thin multi-grain roti. I try eating as less carbs as possible at night. Don’t get intimidated by the regime.Try and come up with a schedule that works for you 🙂 Eating right and working out in the correct manner is the only way to do it, people.

Here are some delights for those days when you want to give in to the temptations:

Hello lovelies! This week, I am sharing with you few of my favourite healthy snacks for the times when the cravings get the better off me. It’s always good to avoid junk food and opt for these yummy but healthy options instead! Just to let you know, as I will be getting  busy with my new film, #LoseItLikeBhumi might not be a regular feature here. I will certainly be sharing tips / treats as and when I find them. Berry smoothie – Pour a glass of water into the mixer and add 2 tablespoons of yogurt. Add one teaspoon of honey and fresh berries of all kinds into it. Blend them together and enjoy! Yoghurt cubes – You can pour a homemade smoothie into the ice cubes. Pour the strawberries shake into the ice tray and freeze it. You can make it a slushy and eat it up. The best cold snack ever! Other healthy alternatives are: Kale & Soya chips (I totally love them!), whole wheat lavash with hummus, or even dry roasted grains like puffed bajra. BTW, if you are really craving, you can have a piece of dark chocolate – the darker the better. Chocolate made with at least 70% cocoa contains less sugar and more antioxidants. It is okay to give in to your cravings once in a while, but do remember to stay wise and stay healthy!

Besides nutrition, she also shared fitness & exercise tips:

Hello all you amazing people . #LoseItLikeBhumi enters its third week, and I hope my two cents is helping you. This week, I thought, I’ll tell you some really fun things I did to stay active. Just basic things like taking the stairs up instead of the lift or walking shorter distances or just getting up for a glass of water every time you’re thirsty instead of keeping a bottle next to you. It isn’t rocket science; its simple, almost loony things. Apart from these give these not very boring fitness hacks a try :)) It might seem silly but it really helps in the long run!!
