Quotes
Nimisha Sajayan
Actor who plays Babita “Baby” Singh in Babita Singh Reporting
“It took me two months to gain around 14 kg. We started with 1,200 calories a day and eventually it went up to 8,000. It was a nightmare but I enjoyed the process. During the weight loss period, I felt as if a part of Baby was leaving me, mentally and physically.”
