It is very common in our imperfect society to be body shamed and ridiculed for being fat. It’s like being fat is a crime and people take it as their own responsibility to make sure everyone who is on the heavier side of the scale gets informed on a regular basis (sometimes even multiple times a day) about it. If you are fat, you are automatically deemed as being less attractive. Accept it, people come in all shapes and sizes. It might be true that being slim and fit increases one’s confidence by x times, but let’s be clear about one thing that being fat is not always a choice. In fact, constantly reminding a person of their inability to lose weight is demotivating. However, we have something that might motivate you. There are several celebrities who were once very fat but today, they are slim. Let’s have a look at some of our B-Town celebs who have transformed themselves from fat to fit. And if they can do this, you can do it too!

Alia Bhatt: Once a chubby girl, Alia Bhatt is indeed riding high on success. But it was never easy for her. Before entering Bollywood, Alia Bhatt worked hard on herself and reduced quite a few kilos. She weighed 68 kilos before she went on a weight loss journey and she managed to shed around 20 kgs. Alia not only followed an intense workout regime but she also made sure to have a balanced diet.

Adnan Sami
Once weighing 200 kgs, Adnan managed to reduce 130 kgs in just 11 months. He followed a strict high protein diet and used to workout regularly. He went to his hometown to consult a nutritionist. He cut down sugar from his diet and ate salads and boiled pulses.

Bhumi Padnekar

Bhumi Pednekar made her Bollywood debut when she was approx 85 kgs. The actress has lost almost 25 kgs in a period of over 1 year. Instead of opting for heavy-duty exercises, Bhumi went for natural ways and healthy eating habits.

Tanmay Bhatt

Overweight or not, Tanmay Bhatt has always been confident about himself and ready to take on fat jokes. Being funny was his defence mechanism against his weight. Although he has never shied away from being heavy, it was when he started having serious health issues, he decided to shed some kgs. His weight loss journey is truly motivational as he lost 110 kgs in just a year. Keto diet and intense workout helped him attain his present weight.

Karan Johar 

Karan Johar was once bullied when he was in school for being overweight. He used to weigh 120 kgs and blames his mother for being in denial about her son’s weight for years. Anyway, he has come a long way from that and is now proud of his fit self.

Esha Deol

Before making her debut in Bollywood, Esha Deol shed a lot of weight. And then by the time she did the biggest movie of her career, Dhoom, Esha was flaunting a toned body and abs. And her secret to a fit body was an intense workout regimen that included weight training and cardio exercise for almost 2-hour every day. Apart from this she also did swimming and practised dancing.

Jackky Bhagnani

Jackky Bhagnani who now flaunts 8-pack abs used to be completely opposite of what he is now during his childhood days. This fit actor used to weigh 130 kgs and currently weighs almost half i.e. 74 kgs. He followed rigour diet plans and workout regimes for over two years to star in his debut movie Kal Kisne Dekha.
