Despite having joined the film industry only last year, actress Sara Ali Khan has already earned her spurs with her debut film 'Kedarnath' and blockbuster 'Simmba' with Ranveer Singh. The 23 year old who weighed over 90 kgs before making her break, has often spoken about her struggles with PCOD (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) that led to her excessive weight gain. The actor went on to shed the extra kilos before making her silver screen debut.
“I went to Columbia for four years and at the end of the second year, I decided that I really want to act, like I said I have always known, but the realisation coincided with the weigh scale saying that I'm 96 kilos. So, it was a bit difficult. Then it was the senior year of college in America itself that I lost the weight.” She added, “I was a regular kid. It made it very hard for me to a) lose weight, and b) the hormone level was very high. So, as you can see, there is a level of delusion that was in me... I was confident, I was delusional.”
“On one hand you could eat a pizza and on the other you could have protein, on one hand you could get chocolate and on the other you could eat salad. That was it. So, I lost all the weight that I had gained there and lots more by working out and maintaining a disciplined life.” Sara also spoke about her fitness regime and how she practices Kathak, Yoga, Pilates, and intense workouts to keep in shape. She also underwent boot camp training and was spotted playing lawn tennis with her father Saif Ali Khan.
The actor is currently working on her third film, a sequel to 'Love Aajkal', directed by Imtiaz Ali. The movie also features Kartik Aaryan, an actor Sara has confessed having a crush on.
