From 155 Kg To 88 Kg: How This 20-Year-Old Influencer Lost Weight With This Simple Diet And Workout

NDTV8 hours ago
This year, Rajii Ghanghas celebrated her 20th birthday with more than just cake. She marked it as a personal milestone of strength and transformation. Only two years ago, at the age of 18, she weighed 155 kg and often hid her pain behind a smile. Today, two months after turning 20, she stands at 88 kg, calling her 67kg weight loss nothing short of a "rebirth".
Her Instagram is filled with the story of this transformation. It includes simple workouts, home-cooked meals, and reflections that show her followers that real change is not a quick fix but the result of steady choices made every single day.

Rajii's Turning Point And Exercise Routine
At 18, Rajii struggled with low self-esteem and a body that made her feel trapped. By the end of 2023, she decided to change her life, starting with discipline and structure. She didn't rely on fad diets or extreme programs. Instead, she committed to a simple formula, and that was consistent workouts with balanced meals.
Her evening routine soon became her foundation. A four-set workout combining deadlifts, ground-to-overhead lifts, kettlebell swings, sit-ups, and a 1-km run built her strength and stamina. After every session, she refueled with a salad. Cheat days happened occasionally but were mostly family outings, keeping her progress sustainable without taking away moments of joy.
Rajii's 10-Day Diet Plan
Rajii even shared a 10-day diet plan with her followers on Instagram that featured chapattis, vegetables, tofu or paneer, curd, whey protein, chickpea salad, makhana, cucumber, ajwain tea, cinnamon-lemon water, beetroot juice, and light pre- and post-workout snacks. She emphasized simple rules that included drinking 4 liters of water daily and aiming for 10,000 steps.

Rajii's journey continues to inspire thousands online. What makes her story relatable is the transparency with which she shares it. She doesn't just showcase her progress, she also talks about the discipline it takes and the struggles behind the scenes.
For many of her followers, her story is a reminder that transformation isn't about vanity but about reclaiming health, confidence, and joy. Now, in August 2025, just two months after stepping into her twenties, Rajii is not only celebrating her "rebirth" but also motivating others to believe that change is possible.

Send nudes: How to ace the no-makeup look in 2025

A few weeks ago, content creator Jhanvi Bhatia (@JhanviiBhatiaa) posted an Insta story, in which she wore nude makeup, but covered a blemish with a heart-shaped pimple patch. Her 433K followers loved it: 'They all said it looks so cute and natural'. Alia Bhatt's no-makeup makeup look makes it seem like her skin is glowing from within. (INSTAGRAM/@AALIABHATT) The look of the moment is really looking like yourself – pimple patch included. Nude makeup used to be about fixing every flaw to look perfect. Now, it's about looking hydrated, happy and chill. 'The nude look of 2025 is natural and real. There is no room for a cakey face,' Bhatia says. OG makeup artist Namrata Soni says that nude looks are the toughest. 'You are wearing makeup but must make it look like you aren't wearing any. But it must also look like the glow is from your skin,' she says. 'That calls for good prep, an eye for colour-matching, and intelligent painting.' Pick shades of brown that match with your skin, plus ones that are darker and lighter so the look isn't flat. (SHUTTERSTOCK) Here's how to get it right. Set it up. Pick shades of brown that match your skin colour, plus ones that are lighter and darker, so the look isn't flat. This means soft pinks, peaches, beige, brown and mauves. Lighten up. Bhatia's college routine is just concealer, blush and lip balm, all in nude shades (and an acne patch when needed). 'People often wear one just because it looks cute,' she says. Makeup artist Leena Goradia cuts out heavy foundation and layers of products, particularly to achieve a perfect Important Meeting Face. Go all out. Soni's soft, hydrated, 2025 nude look comes from applying a hydrating sheet mask on a cleansed face 20 minutes before makeup begins. 'Don't forget to remove the excess liquid or gel from your face with a cotton pad or a moist towel when done,' she says. Jhanvi Bhatia says the new nude look allows for imperfections such as pimple patches. Build it up. She then contours the nose, jawline, cheek bones and forehead with a cream or liquid formulation to give the face a flushed glow. The soft look doesn't come from thick sponge application. Soni warms some foundation on the back of her hand and goes in with a brush to apply thin layers only on the parts of the face that need them. 'This gives good coverage, a flawless, airbrush finish, won't feel heavy, but still delivers a soft look.' Set the area under the eyes, the forehead and the lids with a powder formula. Focus on the eye. Older nude looks called for four brown shades on a single lid. The new technique is simpler. Soni suggests a light layer of rose gold, with deep brown closer to the lash line and just above the socket, to make the eye look bigger. Use a deep brown eyeliner, smudge it a bit. Do a layer of brown or clear (not black) mascara. And you're done. Zendaya's natural look involves more layers than you might think. (SHUTTERSTOCK) Let the rest follow. No need for heavy glossy lips. Lip liner, then lip balm or tint are enough. Aim for hydrated, not drenched. No blush needed, just a bit of highlighter high on the cheekbones and brow bones. Go up a notch. Goradia's Important Meeting Look starts with a thin layer of gel or silicone primer, then corrector and concealer where needed. No foundation. Use a skin tint instead. It's lightweight and goes on with less fuss, but delivers a natural evenness and glow. 'If you like, dab a little compact powder, so the makeup doesn't budge.' Cheat a little. Office eye looks used to be sharp, black-edged, defined. Now they're softer. Pick from pinky-browns. Don't touch the shimmer. Use a brown eyeliner or a kajal pencil and smudge it a little. No winged edges needed. For work, it's OK to cheat a bit with a pink, coral or mauve lip, adding some gloss or sheen to balance the matte eye. Just don't go all-brown or you'll blend into the background. From HT Brunch, August 23, 2025 Follow us on

Caretakers of Dasara jumbos get free makeover

Mysuru: In a unique initiative, the forest dept on Thursday arranged a free haircut and grooming session for mahouts and kavadis who are looking after the Dasara elephants housed in the Mysuru Palace premises. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The programme was organised at a unisex salon located in Kuvempu Nagar, aiming to give them a fresh look and a peek into city life. Self-care takes a backseat for many of the mahouts and kavadis, who otherwise live in forests. The dept facilitated the makeover to provide them exposure to a modern salon experience and to help them blend into the festive atmosphere. Speaking to TOI, IG Prabhu Gowda, DCF (wildlife), said: "This initiative was to help them adapt to the urban ambience, boost their confidence, and expose them to new experiences. All of them were happy with the service and their new hairstyles." Likith, a stylist at the salon, observed that mahouts and kavadis have naturally strong, thick, and healthy hair compared to most of the city dwellers. "Despite not using oils or salon products, their hair quality is excellent. Thanks to natural food habits, cleaner air, and minimal exposure to pollution and junk food, they have fewer problems like dandruff or hair fall," he said. Interestingly, many of them surprised the salon staff by pulling out Instagram photos and requesting trendy hairstyles — most popularly the side-fade cut with longer hair on top. "Earlier, they used to prefer filmy hairstyles, but now due to technology, they prefer to have the styles they like," he said. Before styling, their hair was thoroughly washed with shampoo and conditioner to manage the natural thickness. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The makeover left the mahouts, kavadis, and their children delighted. Children of the mahouts and kavadis, who are also camping with their family members helping them to take care of the Dasara jumbos, were also given new hairstyles. In all, over 60 people were given a makeover.
