Young actor Sara Ali Khan entered the glamourous world of Bollywood as a celebrated star kid. She has been able to carve a niche for herself in the industry with a handful of impressive performances. Her life has always been in the limelight as her parents are noted Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh.
However, from childhood onwards, Sara has struggled with obesity and has often been a victim of body shaming. She underwent a massive physical transformation by reducing her body weight to 45 kg from 96 kg before entering the film industry. What inspired her to lose weight? Sara made some bold decisions about her life while studying in New York.
Getting an offer to star in a Karan Johar movie inspired her to change her lifestyle. Until then, pizzas, popcorn and triple chocolate brownies had been her favourite food items. Sara has often confessed that she could eat pizzas for all her meals.
“I never believed that I could have a better future. So, I thought to at least enjoy food. When I weighed 85 kg, I thought what difference would it make even if I am 96 kg? However, later I understood that was not the right way to face obesity,” Sara has said in her interviews.
What did she give up? Sara began experiencing incredible changes in her life as soon as she started following a healthy diet. She gave up her favourite pizzas and brownies; instead included fruits, vegetables, protein and whole grains in her regular diet. Sara even became mindful of the quantity of food.
