“It requires a scary amount of dedication and self-control.”
A throwback picture of Sara Ali Khan with her father Saif is doing the rounds on social media.
Netizens have been praising the actor for her transformation.
The picture from her college life surfaced on Reddit.
In the picture, Sara Ali Khan is seen sporting a white top and denim jeans while Saif is seen in a grey t-shirt and jeans.
The Kedarnath actor looks almost unrecognisable in the picture due to her extra weight.
In one of her interviews, she said that she weighed around 96 kg during her college years.
Soon after her picture was shared widely, netizens have been lauding Sara Ali Khan for her massive transformation.
A user wrote: “Inspiration bro. It’s so tough after a plateau. Bt good on her. For losing and then maintaining it.”
Another user said: “It’s not easy to lose that amount of weight and maintain the new weight.
“It requires a scary amount of dedication and self-control.”
Meanwhile, Sara also revealed that her weight loss journey was not so easy since she was suffering from PCOD.
In an interview with the BBC, she shared: “I went to Columbia for four years and at the end of the second year, I decided that I really want to act, like I said I have always known, but that realisation coincided with the weigh scale saying that I’m 96 kilos.
“So, it was a bit difficult. Then it was the senior year of college in America itself that I lost the weight.”
Sara also spoke about her weight loss journey on Karan Johar’s talk show, Koffee with Karan when she appeared with her dad.
On the work front, Sara will be next seen in an untitled film with Vicky Kaushal.
She also has Metro In Dino with Aditya Roy Kapur, Gaslight with Vikrant Massey and Ae Watan Mere Watan in the pipeline.
Meanwhile, there are rumours doing the rounds that Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan may reunite for another romantic film – Aashiqui 3.
As Kartik Aaryan bagged the lead role in the musical, fans and the media have been speculating who will be cast opposite him.
Various reports state that Sara Ali Khan is the front-runner and the makers have even reached out to her to discuss the project.
The duo worked together in Love Aaj Kal which was released in 2020.
