How Weight-Loss Journey Helped Kusha Kapila Overcome Childhood Trauma
Influencer and actor Kusha Kapila is known for her fierce, funny, and unapologetic demeanor. Kusha Kapila rose to fame with her viral South Delhi character sketches on Instagram. However, she stole all headlines when she dropped several kilos. While many attributed her weight loss to Ozempic, others praised her for her weight loss transformation. Tired of the endless speculations, Kusha Kapila took to her YouTube Channel to open up about her weight loss journey. Kusha Kapila's Weight Loss Journey In the candid video, Kusha Kapila revealed how her childhood trauma around her weight, starving to get fit, and other unhealthy weight loss practices shaped her journey. The Thank You For Coming actor shared that the discussion around her weight loss transformation and people calling her an "average girl" turned into a "goddess of beauty," which affected her. "Someone else was talking about my body more than I was… I started feeling like I wasn't even in my body," she said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kusha Kapila (@kushakapila) Kusha Kapila cleared that this is not the first time the 35-year-old has lost weight. She started gaining weight when she was 10, and shed the extra kilos when people started calling her " motu" when she just turned 12 or 13 years old. Her mother enrolled her in a gym, and she did a lot of strength training and floor exercises along with running on the treadmill, which helped her lose 20-22 kg. She gained 10 more kg at 22 when she was in college, and a friend noticed her bad mental state and told her to "work on herself". During this time, Kusha Kapila followed an extreme calorie-deficient diet that helped her lose weight. Eventually, she got a fever for 12 days, which was later identified as abdominal tuberculosis - a rare form of TB that affects the organs in your abdomen. This is more common in women over the age of 25 with compromised immunity. "Women over 25-26 are more prone to TB. I was diagnosed because I had dropped my immunity so drastically… I was losing weight, which I liked. This is how body image issues play with your mind. You are sick, you are losing weight, and you are happy that you are nearing your goal weight," Kusha shared. She added that she ignored her body completely when her career took off, but Kusha Kapila decided to lose weight again. "For the first time in my life, I felt like I wanted to lose weight for myself. I told myself: 'You are by yourself now. You're responsible for everything that happens in your life. Take care of yourself, because no one else is coming'." Kusha Kapila On How Strength Training Helped Her Lose Weight When a fan asked Kusha Kapila about her weight loss, the Sukhee actor shared, "I just fell into a routine. I changed cities and to cope with it, I spent time moving, walking, gyming, eating well, and it just showed." Stating that she does not think that it's necessary to justify why she worked on her body, Kusha Kapila added, "I am in my 30s, and it was bound to happen at some time because I really tried all these years. Last year was the year it happened, it's as simple as that." Kusha Kapila's weight loss story.

I wish they taught about the benefits of just activity and moving and how it can, over a period of time, change how you are feeling (for the better). I wish they taught that in schools. Any time I felt like I was dipping in Mumbai, I hit the gym or I moved."

When Shehnaaz Gill Revealed The Weight-Loss Method She Used To Lose 12 Kg In 6 Months
Shehnaaz Gill rose to fame with Bigg Boss 13 and is a popular actor and singer who stunned her fans with her dramatic transformation during the COVID-19 lockdown. She lost about 12 kg in 6 months and went from 67 kg to 55 kg, and she did it all without following fad diets or extreme workouts, but with simple lifestyle changes. Here's How Shehnaaz Gill Lost 12 Kgs In 6 Months The Dhup Lagdi singer has spoken about the body shaming she faced early in her career in the industry. Instead of letting it affect her confidence, she decided to use the lockdown period as an opportunity to work on herself. Shehnaaz Gill's Diet In an interview with Shilpa Shetty and Times Foodie, Shehnaaz Gill revealed her weight loss secrets, which centered on balance, portion control, and mindful eating. Morning Drink: Warm water with turmeric and apple cider vinegar to kickstart her day. Breakfast: Protein-rich foods, which mostly include sprouted moong, dosa, methi-paratha, etc. Lunch: One whole-wheat roti, dal, some vegetables, and a sprouts salad. She also included a bit of ghee for healthy fats. Evening Snack: Roasted makhana (fox nuts). Dinner: She kept her meals simple and light, with just soup or sautéed vegetables. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shehnaaz Gill (@shehnaazgill) Other Takeaways From Her Diet Pattern In an interview with ET Times, Shehnaaz Gill shared, "Every day, I ate just one or two things. I wouldn't stuff too much variety in my daily consumption of food. For example, if I ate dal and moong for lunch, I would eat the same for dinner. And I reduced the portions. If I were hungry for two rotis, I ate only one... I lost 12 kg in less than 6 months, but without doing any exercise. Just my restricted food consumption did the trick." Here's why her weight loss approach worked: Portion Control: Shehnaaz Gill said that she ate everything she used to, but the big difference was the size of the portions she took. Portion control is considered one of the most effective ways to lose weight. A 2021 study published in the Obesity Research & Clinical Practice found that practising portion control can help in weight reduction. Mindful Eating: This practice is all about using all physical and emotional senses to experience and enjoy the food choices you make. A 2021 study published in the British Medical Bulletin found that mindful eating helps change your eating behaviours and reduce stress. Shehnaaz Gill's Workout Routine While Shehnaaz Gill did not follow a strict workout regimen, she incorporated light exercises and started walking. However, it was mostly her diet that she relied on for her weight loss but now the Thank You For Coming actor has incorporated yoga and other forms of fitness in her workout routine.

Last Updated: While it remains unclear if Kusha Kapila has found love again, it should be noted that she was previously married to Zorawar Ahluwalia. Kusha Kapila has left everyone wondering if she has found the love of her life again. The actress, who was previously married to Zorawar Ahluwalia, took to her Instagram handle on Thursday and shared a series of romantic photos with a mystery guy. In the pictures, Kusha was seen posing in a brown body-hugging outfit as she posed for the camera with a man. She was seen holding his arm, looking lost in his eyes, and even hugging him. While the guy's face wasn't visible in the pictures, what further caught everyone's attention was the caption of Kusha's post. Even though she talked about her brand, she started it by saying, 'all poses for when you want to reveal the one 🌚." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kusha Kapila (@kushakapila) However, some of the social media users also argued that the post might only be a campaign for her own brand. While it remains unclear if Kusha Kapila has found love again, it should be noted that she was previously married to Zorawar Ahluwalia. The two tied the knot in 2017 but parted ways in June 2023. Back then, the two issued a joint statement and revealed that 'we gave it our all, until we couldn't anymore." The former couple had also mentioned that a 'relationship ending is heartbreaking' and therefore they need time for healing. Later in an interview, the Thank You For Coming actress revealed that she was 'bullied' into sharing the divorce news with the world. 'I was honestly bullied into sharing my personal news. This is the first time I'm sharing that. I was 100% bullied into sharing it. But I'm glad I shared it on my own terms. I did not want anyone else sharing information about my life with the world, without consulting with me first. You have to put on blinders," she told India Today. After her divorce from Zorawar, Kusha was rumoured to be dating Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor and then comedian Anubhav Bassi.

is expanding her creative pursuits with the upcoming short film Vyarth. The social media personality who took a plunge into the world of movies with Thank You For Coming is offering audiences a glimpse into the challenges faced by actors in the film industry. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The short follows Bhumi, an underrated actress frustrated by being typecast, who is offered the role of a mother—a part she initially resists. The plot thickens when her younger flatmate Meenakshi asks for help with the same audition. The film sheds light on the broader ecosystem of cinema, including the struggles of independent filmmakers working on short films, and the harsh realities confronting aspiring actors in a highly competitive industry. Kusha who is primarily known for her comedic online work, takes on a prominent acting role in Vyarth. She is also stepping into production as a co-producer. Speaking about the film, Kusha said, "The moment I got my hands on the Vyarth's script—just 17 powerful pages—I felt an instant, undeniable pull. It wasn't just a story; it was a mirror reflecting so many unspoken realities that resonated deeply within me. I knew then and there that this wasn't just a role I wanted to play, but a story I absolutely had to bring to life. There's something incredibly universal about its theme, and I genuinely believe that everyone who watches Vyarth will find a piece of themselves, or someone they know, within its intricate layers.'
