Ever since the birth of her son, Zehaan, Gauahar Khan has been hitting the headlines for her postpartum weight loss. For the unversed, the new mommy took social media down after she shared an Instagram Story revealing that she lost 10 kg in 10 days. Talking about the same, Gauahar admitted that she was also surprised when it happened and revealed that she was fed everything possible post-delivery. Revealing how it happened, the actress said:
“I thought that I would take a while to lose the pregnancy weight. Keeping the baby weight aside, you still lose, a couple of kilos in 5-6 weeks but I don’t know how I suddenly dropped 10 kg. I was being fed everything possible post-delivery, by my sister, my mum and my mother-in-law. It could be because I was completely active right from the second morning post-delivery, up and about doing everything on my own for my baby, it helped. The physical activity, maybe fatigue even and everything I needed to put in for the child led to the weight loss. I was pretty amazed myself that I lost 10kgs in almost 10 days.”
Further in the interview, Gauahar Khan shared tips to lose post-pregnancy weight and revealed she will start working out this week onwards, but she will take it slow with yoga followed by her usual routine. However, she admitted that she still has 4-5kgs to lose to get back to her pre-pregnancy body and added that she was staying up all night to feed the baby and was extremely active during the first few weeks, which helped her shed weight. In her words:
“I was eating enough and burning all the calories with stay awake the whole night, especially in the first few weeks because the baby is hardly sleeping and getting up every two hours for feeding. All that movement, took my weight away, I guess. All my respect and love for everyone who’s going through this (trying to shed pregnancy weight). There are many who take months to reduce weight, even a year to get back to their original size. I’m hoping that the last few kilos won’t be stubborn fat!”
