Dilip Joshi On Viral Weight Loss Story: ‘I Lost It In 45 Days, 30 Years Ago'
Dilip Joshi, known for his iconic character Jethalal in the popular comedy show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, has been making waves on the internet with his significant weight loss journey. Reports suggest he lost 16 kg in 45 days- all without hitting the gym or following a strict diet.
Now, during a recent appearance, the actor has finally opened up about his fitness routine, which is now getting viral on social media.
What does he have to say?
The actor recently stepped out in the city to attend an event, where the paparazzi asked him the secret behind his remarkable weight loss. He laughed and responded to the buzz on social media.
Dilip said, 'Areey, 1992 mein kiya tha bhai, abhi pata nahi kissi ne social media pe chala diya yaar (Oh, it was in 1992, brother. I'm not sure who posted it on social media now)." Following that, photographers informed him that the image was currently trending on social media. Dilip, on the other hand, smiled and thanked them before entering the venue.
Dilip previously told Mashable India about his weight loss journey, revealing that he shed 16 kg in just one and a half months with regular running. In the 1990s, he was rehearsing for a role in the Gujarati film Hun Hunshi Hunshilal.
He used to run every day after work while working a typical office job. 'I used to change at the swimming club and jog down Marine Drive to the Oberoi Hotel, even in the rain, and back. The entire run would take about 45 minutes," he explained. This basic yet efficient regimen helped him meet his fitness objectives.
Coming back to his work front, Dilip has been a part of a number of Bollywood films including Hum Aapke Hain Koun!, Maine Pyaar Kiya, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, One 2 Ka 4, Khiladi 420, Dil Hai Tumhaara and Dhoondte Reh Jaoge, among others.
He has been a part of Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah since its inception in 2008 and garnered much appreciation from the audience for his performance as Jethalal.
