Nitin Gadkari shares 46 kg weight loss transformation after COVID
Nitin Gadkari is a very important leader in India who helps run the country.
He used to weigh a very heavy 135 kilograms.
That is about the weight of two adult humans!
He decided to change his health after a sickness called COVID-19 spread around the world.
Some people he loved passed away during that time, and that made him think about his health.
Now he wakes up at 7 in the morning and exercises for more than two hours every day.
He never skips his exercise, no matter how busy he is — he sometimes works until 1 am.
He says he used to live without a plan or discipline.
Now he weighs 89 kilograms and feels much healthier.
He says taking care of his general wellbeing matters more than just losing weight.
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari revealed he weighed 135 kg and now weighs 89 kg, a 46 kg loss.
He said the COVID-19 pandemic and the deaths of close ones shifted his health priorities.
Gadkari now exercises for two to two and a half hours every day and calls exercise non-negotiable.
He made the remarks in a viral interview with Bollywood director Farah Khan in a video dated January 2.
He described his former lifestyle as "unplanned" and "undisciplined," calling the change existential rather than cosmetic.
