Boney Kapoor, the renowned Bollywood producer and father of actors Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor, has recently garnered attention for his remarkable weight loss journey. The 68-year-old filmmaker has shed an impressive 26 kg, leaving fans and the internet awestruck.
Kapoor took to social media to share photos of his transformed self, sporting vibrant clothes and radiating a newfound confidence. He captioned the post, "Feels great to get into some old clothes. Lost 26kgs, just a few more to go. Sharing this for those who need motivation. Do it. It's worth it! If I can, anybody can!".
What's particularly astonishing is that Kapoor achieved this weight loss without hitting the gym. Instead, he followed a disciplined diet plan, incorporating healthy eating habits and simple lifestyle changes. Reports suggest that his routine includes skipping dinner and opting for light soups, along with a breakfast of fruit, juice, and jowar roti. He also avoids heavy meals.
Boney's daughter, actress Janhvi Kapoor, has expressed her admiration and support for her father's dedication. She commented on his post, "My best papa". Back in 2019, Janhvi had also shared a picture of her father, expressing pride in his initial weight loss of 12 kg, writing, “Papa lost 12 kgs. Slim, trim, and healthy. So proud". Khushi Kapoor is yet to publicly comment on her father's recent transformation.
The weight loss journey wasn't just about aesthetics for Boney Kapoor. He revealed that his late wife, Sridevi, had always encouraged him to lose weight for health reasons. In an interview, Kapoor recalled Sridevi's words: "When I met you, you were slim, trim, tall, and good-looking…and now you just….see…after I got you…what more can I ask for?". He has credited Sridevi as his "inspiration" for his health journey.
While many have praised Kapoor's achievement, some have speculated about the use of weight loss drugs like Ozempic. However, reports suggest that his weight loss is a result of a strict diet and mindful eating.
Dr. Arun Prasad, a senior consultant in gastrointestinal and bariatric surgery at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, acknowledged that losing weight without gym workouts is possible but advised caution. He emphasized the importance of a balanced approach, including early, light dinners, protein-rich breakfasts, and daily movement. He also cautioned against relying solely on fruits, as they may lack essential macronutrients.
Boney Kapoor's transformation serves as an inspiration to many. His commitment to a healthy lifestyle and the support from his family have played a significant role in his weight loss journey.
