Deepti Sadhwani, who plays the popular character in Taarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma, has managed an incredible transformation this year, by losing 17 kgs in just six months. Recently, the actor spoke with ETimes about her motivational journey and stated that hard work and a complete makeover can do wonders.
Talking about her journey, Deepti shared, “It wasn’t easy. There were days when I wanted to give up, but I reminded myself that every little step counts. Progress was slow but steady, and that’s where the magic lies,” she reflected. She also made changes in her diet to help her in her weight loss: avoiding sugar, processed foods, and preservatives, and going gluten-free. Intermittent fasting, done religiously for 16 hours, became her pivot, complemented by very mindful calorie tracking. She highlighted the importance of balance, allowing herself to take a cheat day once in a while.
Beyond the diet, Deepti increased her workout mode by adding aerial yoga, boxing, and swimming. She didn’t stress much over the intensity but rather focused on being consistent; this changing perception, she added, didn’t just restructure her body but also improved her mental clarity and gave her energy. “What kept me motivated was the vision of becoming the best version of myself—not just for my appearance, but for my overall health and well-being,” she furthered.
Deepti’s journey serves as a powerful reminder that hard work, discipline, and a balanced approach can lead to meaningful and lasting change.
