Sara Ali Khan’s transformation from weighing 96 kg to a fit 47 kg is one of the most talked about journeys in Bollywood. Her incredible weight loss story is not just about looking slim on screen but about reclaiming her health, confidence, and mental well-being.

In different interviews over the years, the actress has openly shared how she tackled her weight struggles, what pushed her to finally change, and why staying fit is still an everyday effort.‘I wasn’t overweight; I broke the weighing scale’Sara once revealed that during her college days, she was stuck in a loop of unhealthy habits. Talking about this in an old interview with Ranveer Allahbadia, she said, “I wasn't overweight; I broke the weighing scale…What happens a lot of times is that you can go into a downward spiral.

So, when you wake up in the morning and weigh 85 kgs and nothing really fits, you are like 85 to 96 - what's the difference does it really make? Which is the worst way to be, and that's what started happening to me. I was in college, and I was already fat, so now fatter means what - fat is fat, so let me just eat that brownie.

”‘It was hormonally affecting me’But it wasn’t just about getting movie offers. Sara also knew her health was taking a hit. She said, “I was huge, man.

It was not healthy on any level. It was hormonally affecting me, which still happens. Every time I overeat or when I am touching that 60 kg mark, you can start seeing that I am not okay.”‘I really have to be extremely mindful of what I am eating’Even after dropping the weight, Sara says her journey didn’t stop there. She still has to work hard to keep herself in check. “My things became chunky, my face became big, that really does happen. I really have to be extremely mindful of what I am eating.

It's very important for me to stay on track with weight,” she shared.What pushed Sara to finally lose weight?When asked what made her shed over 45 kg, Sara was clear about who gave her that final push. It was none other than filmmaker Karan Johar. The director wanted to offer her a film role and suggested she lose ‘half of her’ weight. This strong nudge set Sara on her path to a healthier version of herself.‘It affects your mental health and hormones’Sara believes it’s crucial for people struggling with their weight to understand that it’s not just a matter of appearance. She said, “You definitely should keep a check on what you are eating because it affects more than just your visual appearance; it affects your hormonal balance, and that is extremely important.”On the work front, Sara Ali Khan will next be seen in ‘Metro... In Dino.’
