I tried my best to do that but I couldn't. For the past two years, post 'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar', when I saw myself, I felt I should and my kids also wanted me to look sharper, leaner, and better. Of course, health-wise also I needed to. I'm 69 today so I'm not getting any younger," he added.'I feel Sri is still around me, my wife is still around me and motivating me to lose weight. 'Lose weight', she said. Doctor also said the same thing – You should lose weight before you think of doing a transplant. Here I am, I've lost some weight and I've got some hair back for some," the film producer concluded.Boney Kapoor was last seen on screen in 'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar'.
