Veteran producer Boney Kapoor recently left everyone stunned with his miraculous weight loss. Pictures of him looking slim and trim after losing a whopping 26 kgs have gone viral on the Internet. Paparazzo Viral Bhayani shared the pictures of the 'No Entry' producer on Instagram, and the netizens were left awestruck by his physical transformation from pudgy to lean. According to a report by Viral Bhayani, Kapoor chose not to follow a gym routine for his fitness journey. Instead, he focused entirely on a disciplined diet. He avoided processed foods and stayed away from items rich in carbohydrates. Reports suggest that he typically skips dinner, opting instead for light soups in the evening. His mornings begin with a simple and nutritious breakfast that includes fresh fruit, juice, and a serving of jowar roti.
Although most Instagram users were awestruck at the weight loss, some quipped he may have resorted to weight loss drugs. 'Lunch probably consists of three capsules...' read one comment. This is far from the first time the seasoned producer has wowed people with his perseverance for weight loss. In 2024, he became the talk of the town when he lost 14 kgs. In an interview with ABP, the producer credited his late wife, superstar Sridevi, for his newfound dedication to fitness. "I was remembering what my wife (Sridevi) had told me. She had said that if you want to do something with your hair, then first lose weight. So I lost weight."Kapoor revealed that his motivation to shed extra weight grew stronger after seeing his on-screen appearance while filming Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. In the movie, he portrayed the role of Ranbir Kapoor's father, with Shraddha Kapoor also playing a key role. Watching himself on the monitor made him realize the importance of getting fitter, prompting him to take his health more seriously.
'I would feel that everything is fine in that frame except me. I looked like a lala ji in that frame. I wanted to get rid of the lala ji look,' he admitted.
