I gained 15-17 kgs in just 1-2 months, which was shocking for me. Also, this weight gain was not the usual weight gain. I had bloating, swelling, etc.”
Juhi was suffering from hypothyroidism because of which she gained a lot of weight within a span of a few months. Apart from the weight gain, Juhi’s voice also changed and became coarse. Sharing how she used to be in a foul mood always, the actress stated:
“My face had so much swelling that I had a foul mood most of the times. I felt irritated, had drastic mood swings and I felt low most of the times in a day. More than anything, I could feel the change in my voice. My voice became more coarse than it was usually. Whenever I spoke to my mother over the phone, she kept telling me to get my thyroid checked as there was a noticeable change in my voice. I went in for a blood test and got to know that I was suffering from hypothyroidism."

“One should stay clear from fried food. Also, one should cut down on the intake of butter.
