Neha Dhupia recently talked about her weight loss journey and added that once she managed to lose over 20 kgs she began to be getting more work. The actress embraced motherhood for the second time in 2021 during which she gained around 23-25 kgs which crossed the mark of usual weight gain which is around 17 kgs in general. In an interview, the actress spoke about the journey of losing 23 kgs and also revealed that she feels much better after getting into the fitter form post it. 

She said, “After Mehr (her daughter), we went into lockdown. I eventually lost the weight as we were at home and I could work on a deficit (diet). I lost that weight, but then I got pregnant again.”
The actress further added, “It was a crazy span of four years, where I lost and put on weight time and again. Having said that, when I was pregnant, I wasn’t worried about how I was going to look during postpartum.”

“I breastfed both my children for a year, which kept my 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,” she adds and continues, “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 concluded, “I feel so much better, especially in a profession where physical appearance matters a great deal. But, I have always embraced who I am,” she reflects adding that despite the push for inclusivity, there’s still a preference for fit actors. “Professionally, I’ve noticed an increase in offers now, and I feel and look better in my clothes.”

On the work front, Neha will next appear in ‘Bad Newz’ alongside Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri and Ammy Virk in the lead. The film is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and is slated to release on July 19. The film has already generated much excitement after the makers released its trailer.
