Putting On 15kgs for Mimi Was a Challenge: Kriti Sanon on Gaining and Losing Extra Kilos

When essaying a character on-screen, it is imperative for actors to look their part. That includes gaining or shedding weight, the case was no different for Kriti Sanon while playing the part for her latest stint in Mimi. The actor who played the role of a surrogate mother carrying a baby of an American couple took to Instagram and shared, "While putting on 15kgs for Mimi was a challenge, losing those kilos wasn’t easy for Chubby Sanon either!"

After putting on the kilos, she also had to shed them in order to prepare for the song 'Param Sundari'.

Earlier, in one of her posts on Instagram, she revealed how there was a point when she did not even want to look at food but when the extra weight was seen and how it fit perfectly with the character, for her it was worth it. "Being blessed with good metabolism and normally eating burgers and pizzas in life, gaining 15kgs was a challenge... I never thought I could do it, and there was a point when I didn’t wanna see food.. but when I saw how it translated on screen, it was all worth it!"

Kriti shared that the struggle was real and how it had affected her body because she didn't work out for three months. "Having put on so much weight for the first time ever and not working out for 3 months(not even yoga!), my stamina, strength and flexibility had gone down to Zero!"

However, celeb fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala had Kriti backing up and helped get her strength back. She also said, "no matter how difficult the struggle is, never give up." Three weeks ago Kriti also gave her fans a sneak peek into how she looked at her "chubbiest day of Mimi" and wrote, how she couldn't even recognise herself!
