Khushbu Sundar says she kept eating biryani and chai while losing nearly 40kg
Dubai: Khushbu Sundar did not stop eating mutton biryani. She stopped eating a plateful of it. The actor and politician, who has appeared in more than 200 films, has spoken about a four-year change in how she eats and moves, which took her from close to 98kg to around 58kg. She has described it as driven by health rather than appearance, and says she did it without cutting out the food she loves.…
Dubai - Khushbu Sundar, the actor and politician, has revealed that she maintained her diet of mutton biryani and chai while losing nearly 40kg over a span of four years. The transformation was prompted by both health concerns and physical difficulties. She began her journey during the Covid lockdown, inspired by seeing herself in Rajinikanth's Annaatthe and struggling with knee pain and breathlessness due to years of injuries and surgeries.
Her husband, director Sundar C, and children also lost weight, which motivated her to start. Khushbu did not eliminate any foods but limited her portion sizes, cutting out processed and fried foods, and maintaining her protein intake. Instead of a gym membership, she focused on walking, sometimes covering 10,000 to 15,000 steps a day, and added yoga and bodyweight exercises.
The real challenge, she says, is sustaining the lifestyle change, which she has achieved without any health issues.
