Actress Neha Dhupia, a mother of two who is making headlines for her dramatic weight loss, has said she has overcome the problems of postpartum weight gain and loss via consistency, perseverance, and dedication. The 43-year-old, known for her candor, confesses that each pregnancy caused her to acquire more weight than usual—around 23-25 kgs—well beyond the average 17 kg gain.

Neha Dhupia on her weight loss struggles
In an interview with Hindustan times, Neha Dhupia said, “After Mehr (her daughter), we went into lockdown. I eventually lost the weight as we were at home, and I could work on a deficit (diet). I lost that weight, but then I got pregnant again.”
She further added, “It was a crazy span of four years, where I lost and put on weight time and again. Having said that, when I was pregnant, I wasn’t worried about how I was going to look during postpartum.”
Neha Dhupia’s journey on her return to the spotlight
Dhupia, who appears in Bad Newz, reveals that her weight loss journey did not begin immediately after delivery. “I breastfed both my children for a year, which kept my appetite high and energy levels low. It wasn’t until a year ago that I really committed to exercise and a proper diet, shedding a total of 23 kgs since then.” She continued, “I still haven’t reached exactly where I wanted to in terms of my weight and inch size, but I am sure I will get there in the near future.”
The actor admits that her metamorphosis after losing weight not only improved her physical health but also revitalized her career. “I feel so much better, especially in a profession where physical appearance matters a great deal. But I have always embraced who I am.” She added, “Professionally, I’ve noticed an increase in offers now, and I feel and look better in my clothes.”
Neha Dhupia’s fitness regimen
When the publication asked Dhupia about her regimen, she said that it now consists of controlled eating habits and a balanced workout program. “I don’t go on drastic calorie deficits because as a working mom, I need the energy,” Dhupia explained adding, “I enjoy running and occasionally hit the gym. I’ve cut out sugar, fried foods, and gluten but otherwise maintain a balanced diet. I don’t deliberately do intermittent fasting, but it happens because of the lifestyle I have. I have dinner with my kids at 7:00 pm which is very helpful, and breakfast with my husband at 11 am. All of this helps.”
