Bigg Boss 18 contestant Shilpa Shirodkar has discussed her remarkable weight loss journey following the revelation of her significant physical transformation through shared photographs. In an interview with the Times of India on March 8, Shilpa disclosed that she has lost between 13 to 14 kilograms since her participation in the reality television program hosted by Salman Khan.

Additionally, Shilpa mentioned the reactions of her sister, former actress Namrata Shirodkar, who is married to Telugu film star Mahesh Babu, as well as those of her family regarding her transformation.

How much weight did Shilpa lose and how?

Regarding her weight loss, Shilpa attributed her progress to co-contestant Avinash Mishra, who inadvertently initiated her weight loss journey during Bigg Boss 18. She stated, “I lost 11 kilograms after leaving the Bigg Boss 18 house and an additional 2 kilograms since then, totaling around 13-14 kilograms. I owe this to Avinash because during his time in jail, we were provided with very limited food, resulting in weight loss for all of us. I believe that was the catalyst for my journey. I will always be grateful to Avinash. Currently, I am adhering to a proper diet to maintain this weight loss, and I aspire to lose even more, as I tend to appear larger on screen. I am focusing on portion control and limiting myself to one or two meals a day.”

Shilpa seems to be practicing intermittent fasting, a dietary approach that involves specific eating restrictions, which may include fasting in the morning or consuming food only during designated hours. This method can facilitate weight loss by reducing overall calorie intake. Numerous celebrities, including Nagarjuna and Malaika Arora, also endorse intermittent fasting as a means to maintain their physique.

How did sister Namrata react to weight loss?

In an interview, Shilpa expressed her excitement, stating, “It feels wonderful! For the first time in my life, I am hearing remarks such as, ‘My goodness, you’ve become so slim!’ However, what I cherish the most is the sensation of vitality — I feel energetic all the time... I receive numerous compliments! A frequent remark is that I appear to be reverse-aging, and many tell me I look fantastic. My family is undoubtedly pleased with my weight loss, but they are even more delighted that I maintain a healthy appearance. When I reunited with Namrata after a three to four month interval, she was astonished by my transformation. Her initial response was, ‘Oh my, you have truly lost weight.’ My family is very proud of my achievements.”

Shilpa also mentioned that fans now approach her at airports, commending her for her fitness journey. She noted that this was the first instance she had ever received such compliments about her appearance. Additionally, she emphasized her commitment to self-care and her deliberate efforts to sustain her weight.
