Shreya Chaudhry has become the talk of the town after her performance in Bandish Bandits.
Following her performance in Bandish Bandits, everyone is in love with Shreya Chaudhry. Taking to her Instagram, the actor opened up about how she embarked on her fitness journey after having a bad slip disc at the age of 19. She mentioned how she had put on 30 kilograms.
Shreya Chaudhry credited her childhood idol Hrithik Roshan who motivated her to focus on fitness. She wrote, “When I opened up about my struggle with fitness and health on social media, I did not know that I would be flooded with so much love from everyone. I made the post because I felt empowered and safe to share my feelings, and it struck a chord with people. The positive reaction and encouragement is pushing me to reveal something I have never spoken out loud so that everyone going through similar things in life feels that they can overcome anything by believing in themselves and their mental strength.”

She continued, “When I was 19, I was going through a lot. I was not in the best headspace. During this time, I put on a lot of weight, which took a toll on my fitness and health. I stopped doing any physical activity, and that made things worse. What struck the final nail was me getting a slip disc at that young age! I was always ambitious. I always wanted to be a career-focused girl. And now, I had something that posed as a major obstacle to chasing my dreams. I think this was a huge wake-up call for me. I couldn’t believe I had taken myself for granted.”
She added, “I remember one day while lying on my bed, I told myself that I had to take care of myself. I had to be happy and healthy for myself, my family, and my ambitions and aspirations. I wanted to touch the moon, and I knew I had it in me to turn things around. It took me many, many months, but I focused on my fitness and well-being, and by the time I was 21, my body and mind were in a brand-new mode. I slowly became fitter, lost 30 kilos, and there was no relapse of the slipped disc, which meant I could be carefree and focus on becoming even fitter. Life will always throw a lot of things at us; we just need to move on and stay focused, I guess.”
Shreya’s fitness journey is a reminder that every fitness journey needs to start from somewhere. Over the journey, what one really needs is dedication and discipline.
