Actor Khushbu Sundar Shares Her Five-Year, 40-Kilogram Weight-Loss Journey
Khushbu Sundar said she used to weigh 98.6 kilograms.
Injuries from film shoots caused knee pain and made walking and running difficult.
Her doctor advised her to lose weight to reduce pressure on her knees.
She started working on her health in 2021 and lost 40 kilograms over almost five years.
She walked with her husband, exercised and practiced yoga.
She also learned that she had gluten intolerance and stopped eating chapati and maida.
Doctors said losing weight slowly can be easier to maintain than losing it very quickly.
They also said weight loss may help knee pain and movement, but many other things can affect the knees.
Khushbu Sundar said she reduced her weight from 98.6 kilograms by 40 kilograms over almost five years.
She began her weight-loss effort in 2021 after knee injuries made walking, running and climbing stairs painful.
She credited her consulting physician and family, including her husband Sundar C, for supporting her lifestyle changes.
Her routine included walking, exercise and yoga, while she avoided foods containing gluten, including chapati and maida.
Doctors said gradual weight loss may ease pressure on the knees, but advised that knee pain can also involve injuries, age and joint health.

Quotes
Khushbu Sundar
Actor and politician
“I was 98.6 kgs. With slightly over 1.5 kgs, I would have hit a century. I didn’t have any health problems. But I had knee problems because of injuries during shoots. If I climbed a flight of stairs, my knees would hurt. I couldn’t run or walk. So, my doctor advised me to lose weight to reduce knee pain. That’s it. I lost 40 kgs in almost five years. I started in 2021. It is now that I have achieved the target. I got used to it. When we are aware of our health…there is no sugar, no blood pressure”
