  "account": "Nimisha Sajayan, an actor who gained nearly 14 kgs for her role in Babita Singh Reporting, recently shared a photo on Instagram. The picture showed the actor in character alongside her trainer, Ali Shifas, who had helped her achieve the weight gain. In the caption, Sajayan recounted the struggle she faced during the 10-day period when she felt she couldn't continue. She praised Shifas as her \"rock\" and \"constant support system,\" adding that without him, she would have given up. The film, directed by Ambiecka Pandit and produced by Saurabh Malhotra, Tina Tharwani, and Sudip Sharma, also stars Barun Sobti and Rajesh Kumar, among others.",
