Trivia

Unlike her contemporaries, who went on a strict diet regime to shed those extra kilos, Dum Laga Ke Haisha actress Bhumi Pednekar says she never starved herself to get rid of her fuller figure. According to a PTI report, the Mumbai-born actress, who lost 27 kg since last December, said she thoroughly enjoyed her weight loss journey. "The journey of shedding weight was tough but the only good thing was it did not take a toll on my health. It was all natural and planned. It didn't affect me mentally, which generally happens. But I did have to do a lot of hard work. It was a fun process for me. I really enjoyed doing it. There wasn't any day when I was missing on anything because I was taking the fat-free version of it," she said.
