Kareena Kapoor lost 20 kg weight despite eating her favourite parathas with ghee. How she did it
Kareena Kapoor Khan shocked her fans with her incredible weight loss in the 2008 action-comedy 'Tashan'. Kapoor, who was known for being voluptuous, stunned the audience with her washboard abs and chiselled figure without a hint of flab. However, the superstar had always maintained that although she follows a disciplined lifestyle, she had never starved herself.
In a chat with 'Chhaava' star Vicky Kaushal for
The Hollywood Reporter
, the '3 Idiots' actress gently took a dig at him for being on a salmon-fish-only diet, influenced by his superstar wife, Katrina Kaif. "These Punjabis, I have that gene,
yaar
. I mean you and your wife, you don't eat only. I think she's made you like that. You're also only eating salmon fish. Because there was a point when Katrina was, like, I think only eating salmon, like that's all she ate,' she said.
Vicky admitted that he had heard Katrina used to have only fish and vegetables when she did 'Dhoom 3'.
Kareena revealed that although she underwent a drastic weight loss for the action extravaganza 'Tashan', she never starved herself. She revealed she used to have parathas even then. She advised Kaushal that the amount of food consumed throughout the day can be gradually 'tapered down,' but it's imperative to have a good breakfast.
What Did Kareena Eat For Size Zero Figure?
In an old interview with
Mid-Day
, Kareena credited her fitness team—Rujuta Diwekar (nutritionist) and Namrata Purohit (trainer)—for her jaw-dropping weight loss, helping her go from 68 kg to 48 kg for 'Tashan'.
Dismissing rumours that she starved herself, Kareena stated, 'I lost weight the right way. I'm a Kapoor with a Punjabi build. I can't live without wholesome food and would not have been able to conceive had I not eaten the way I did…'
She revealed that Diwekar helped her eat the right amount of carbs daily. She indulged in parathas with ghee, water with kesar (saffron), and a glass of chilled milk with gulkand.
Later, Kareena bounced back from postpartum weight gain effortlessly after her first child, Taimur, was born in 2018. In the same interview, the 'Jab We Met' star said that she did not spend more than 55 minutes at the gym. She revealed she was on a workout regimen that mostly consisted of Pilates and power yoga.
On the work front, Kareena was last seen in the action drama 'Singham Again' along with Ajay Devgn.

Shantanu Moitra on directorial debut with project featuring Kaushiki Chakraborty: I enjoyed it, open to directing more
Having been a musician all his life, composer Shantanu Moitra has added another feather to his hat by turning filmmaker. He has directed and produced an upcoming docu series on YouTube, which features a six-part, sit-down conversation with singer Kaushiki Chakraborty. Sharing why he decided to turn director, Shantanu says, 'I wanted to become an entrepreneur and a storyteller. I wanted to break this whole pattern of someone calling to offer me a work opportunity. That made my brain start ticking and I thought I want to try something else.' Shantanu Moitra Titled Pankh, his first outing is music driven, as it's a live-autobiography and album on Kaushiki's life. 'Over the years, there have been lots of stories that I wanted to share with the world. And what better vocalist to voice that feeling of mine – that I need to share these stories – than Kaushiki Chakraborty. I believe if you're really passionate about something, then you are the best person to execute it. That is the reason why I took this leap of faith and turned a director,' says Shantanu. As someone navigating music and filmmaking now, Shantanu accepts that there's a lot of commonality and differences between the two crafts. 'Before I compose a song, I have a gifted power to hear the song in my head, which includes the songs I've composed for Parineeta (2005) or 3 Idiots (2009). That's something that I experienced as a director too. I could see it and had a clear vision before I started directing it. That's the commonality. The greatest difference was the turnaround time in the two crafts. As a composer, the turnaround time from the moment I hear my song in my head to execution is less, as I record it immediately after calling the right people for fit. However, in case of a film, there are many departments and people that I am dependent on. And the gestation period from when I have thought of an idea to when I finally see it manifest is huge,' Shantanu ends. Kaushiki Chakraborty and Shantanu Moitra in Pankh Talking about working with Kaushiki, he adds, 'Coincidentally, she is also in that state of mind where she also wants to tell stories and not just sing a song. So, both these things converged and honestly, it's a crazy idea to present a song like we did (in Pankh, with the aspect of storytelling). There are six stories making six episodes and from them come six songs. So this is a pretty crazy idea, especially from a music perspective.'

Kareena Kapoor Reveals Saif Ali Khan Is The Fun Parent: ‘He Always Spoils Kids'
Last Updated: Kareena Kapoor Khan discusses balancing career and motherhood, Saif Ali Khan's parenting style, family dynamics, and her upcoming film Daayra. Kareena Kapoor Khan, a devoted mother of two, offered a glimpse into her life as a working mom. Opening up about the challenges of balancing career and motherhood, the actress shared how her husband, Saif Ali Khan, is the fun, hands-on parent to their sons, Taimur and Jeh. While Kareena admits to being the stricter one, she revealed that the boys adore spending time with Saif, as he happily indulges them with extra screen time and spontaneous music sessions. During a chat with The Hollywood Reporter India, Kareena revealed that her kids often struggle with her absence during shoots. 'It gets tough. This year, Saif went out and shot for two films, so they were used to Mumma being home. Now, if I go to shoot—even for just 10–15 days a month—they're constantly irritated. They're always like, 'Where is Amma?'," she said. Reflecting on parenting dynamics in their household, Kareena admitted that while she plays the stricter role, Saif tends to spoil the kids with extra TV time. 'They love it when Saif is there because Saif is such a lovely father. He's a very hands-on father. My elder one loves to play the guitar and drums with him. When I'm not around, they always get extra TV time. The father always spoils them; otherwise, I'm always like, 'Go to bed,'" she shared. Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, lovingly dubbed 'Saifeena' by fans, first crossed paths on the sets of Tashan in 2008. Their chemistry soon blossomed into love, and they eventually got married in 2012. Four years later, they welcomed their first child, Taimur Ali Khan, in 2016. They were blessed with another son, Jehangir Ali Khan (Jeh), in 2021. On the work front, Kareena Kapoor is set to team up for the first time with Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran in Daayra. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the film will delve into the darker themes of crime and justice, uncovering unsettling societal truths. Currently in pre-production, the script is co-written by Meghna Gulzar, Yash Keswani, and Sima Agarwal. First Published:
