Sonakshi Sinha’s Weight Loss Journey
Though Sona (how she is fondly called by her family and close friends) was motivated after losing a few kilos in the beginning of her weight loss journey, her injuries and pain were becoming a big hurdle. Going to the gym was increasingly becoming aching and troublesome as the actress hated it, but her determination and motivation by her guide Salman Khan kept her going and achieve what was once unimaginable for her.
“It was not easy at all for somebody like me. I am the kind of person who hates the gym. I am allergic to the gym. I want to run away from it. But I think once I put my mind to something, I go out and achieve it and I guess I did that,’ Sonakshi had said for an interview for a health and lifestyle magazine.
