Kapil Sharma's Weight Loss Journey Wasn't Easy: ‘He Was Sleep-Deprived,' Says Trainer
In a recent interview, Kapil Sharma's fitness trainer - Yogesh Bhateja opened up about how he trained the actor and comedian. He mentioned that the transformation was not easy. Kapil Sharma has surprised many with his recent weight loss, and now his fitness trainer, Yogesh Bhateja, is opening up about how it all happened. The transformation wasn't easy; the actor and comedian had trouble sleeping and followed an irregular diet, making the journey quite challenging. In a YouTube interview on Mad Over Growth with Nitin Bajaj, Yogesh, who has also trained celebrities like Farah Khan, Kangana Ranaut, and Sonu Sood, talked about how the journey began. He shared that Sonu Sood introduced him to Kapil Sharma during the promotions of Happy New Year. Soon after, Kapil's manager contacted Yogesh, saying that the comedian was ready to start his fitness journey. Yogesh started training Kapil at his home, using basic tools like a yoga mat, resistance bands, and Kapil's treadmill. More gym equipment was added later. Watch the video here. Recalling the first day of training, Yogesh said, 'The story of Day 1 is actually pretty funny. I asked him to do stretches, and because he hadn't moved his body in a long time, even simple movements like arm rotations, body twists, and toe touches caused him discomfort. His expressions were so exaggerated and comic… From the very next day, he was back on schedule, and we began with basic movements. That's when I realised how stiff his body had become; there was no food discipline, and a lot of inflammation in his body." He also shared that Kapil's busy work life made things worse. 'Since Kapil was the main guy, the responsibility on him was even greater. He was sleep-deprived, his diet had no set pattern, and he would eat at odd times. There was no discipline. It took me a long time, along with his manager and team, to bring some alignment into his lifestyle. But by God's grace, when his film came out, everyone saw the difference on screen," Yogesh added. As for his meals, Yogesh made changes by adding more fish, calling it 'a great source of protein that helps manage calories." He also included a good amount of vegetables in Kapil's diet. Fans first noticed Kapil's slimmer look in April this year, when he was seen at the airport looking much fitter. While his weight has gone up and down in the past, he's now in great shape and regularly posts stylish photos on social media. On the work front, Kapil is currently hosting Season 3 of The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show on Netflix. He is also working on the sequel to his 2015 film Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon, and shared its first look during Eid this year. view comments First Published: July 26, 2025, 10:57 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Sitting down for an interview with an entertainment news portal, he stressed the importance of respecting his partner's boundaries while also living his life without restrictions. In a candid interview with Zoom, Ishaan Khatter expressed, 'I think it's really important to respect the privacy of your partner as well. You are in the limelight for whatever reason, but people are curious; they want to know. But when something is good, you want to protect it. That's my instinct." He added, 'I don't want to hide or lie or anything. Also, I am not going to stop living my life. I am in my 20s, and I am not going to hide in a hole. I am not going to not go out and have a meal if I want to; you can't stop living your life." Making it clear that he acts for the cameras, but can't live for it, the actor further mentioned, 'At the same time, I am not going to allow that to dictate how I think and feel and every decision I make because you have to be aware of what the conversation is.
