How Did Jackky Bhagnani Lose 75 Kg?

Back in June, Jackky Bhagnani also spoke about his weight loss transformation at the Fit India Cult Yogathon. During the event, held at the Indira Gandhi Stadium in New Delhi, the Youngistaan actor shared that lifestyle changes, discipline, and motivation played crucial roles in helping him get back in shape.

Jackky Bhagnani said, "It's hard for people to believe that I once weighed over 150 kg and managed to lose 75 kg. It wasn't easy, but it wouldn't have been possible without motivation, determination, and the will to break past my own limits."

The 40-year-old added, "What I realised along the way is that you don't always need fancy gym equipment or expensive plans to lose weight. Eating clean, staying well hydrated, getting enough sleep, doing regular cardio, and practising yoga - all of it helped me create a sense of balance, both physically and mentally."
