Reduction in eating habits

You can say that I cut off on my non-vegetarian food, chocolates and ice cream and nothing else. But besides that, let me explain how I ate because therein lies the catch. Every day, I ate just one or two things. I wouldn't stuff too much variety in my daily consumption of food. For example, if I ate dal and moong for lunch, I would eat the same for dinner. And I reduced the portions. If I was hungry for two rotis, I ate only one. Mann maarke khati thi. And it started working. I was 67 kg around the time lockdown began in March, I am 55 kg now."
12 kg in less than 6 months

I had reduced to almost 55 kg in Punjab much before I entered Bigg Boss 13 and everyone started saying that I should put on again. And I did! Not anymore!! Today, I feel very happy looking at myself in the mirror. As it is, the camera makes us look more than what we really are. And let me tell you that if you are not weighty, you get more roles. If you are plump, you get similar types of roles. If you are not plump, you get almost all kinds of roles."
