Neha Dhupia reveals her 23 kgs weight loss has led to more professional opportunities
Neha Dhupia is a beloved celebrity in the film industry and will be seen in the upcoming film Bad Newz alongside Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk. Prior to the release, she discussed the challenges of postpartum weight gain and loss with determination and resilience.
‘I feel so much better, especially in a profession where physical appearance matters a great deal,’ says Neha Dhupia
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Neha Dhupia shared her journey of losing around 23-25 kgs. After the birth of her daughter Mehr, they were in lockdown and she was able to work on a deficit diet at home to shed the weight. However, after becoming pregnant again, she experienced fluctuations in weight over the course of four years.
The Bad Newz actress revealed that her weight loss journey did not begin immediately after delivery. She breastfed both her children for a year, which kept her appetite high and energy levels low.
“It wasn’t until a year ago that I really committed to exercise and a proper diet, shedding a total of 23 kgs since then. I still haven’t reached exactly where I wanted to in terms of my weight and inch size, but I am sure I will get there in the near future,” Neha said.
Neha Dhupia mentioned that the transformation post-weight loss not only improved her physical well-being but also revitalized her career.
She now feels much better, especially in an industry where physical appearance is crucial. Despite embracing herself, she acknowledged that there is still a preference for fit actors. Professionally, she has noticed an increase in offers and feels more confident in her clothes.
