Punjab’s Aishwarya Rai’ Himanshi Khurana's 11-kg weight loss is inspiring, here's how she did it

Himanshi Khurana, the Punjabi actress, model, and singer fondly known as “Punjab’s Aishwarya Rai” for her elegance and striking looks, inspires fans — this time let's take a look at her down-to-earth fitness journey. Earlier, speaking at ABP Live’s Health Conclave Punjab 2024, Himanshi shared about her weight loss journey. Himanshi has shed 11 kg without following extreme routines or restrictive diets.Himanshi said that her transformation was driven by simple and mindful changes. She added that the acheivement was made by other techniques rather than gym marathons or deprivation.

'I still have parathas every day'

Revealing the secret behind her transformation, Himanshi said she never hit the gym regularly.

Instead, she practices Pilates twice a week and enjoys home-cooked meals without cutting out her favourites. “I still have parathas every day,” she smiled, emphasising that balance and moderation are key. She credited traditional Indian eating habits — from ghee to oils — for helping her maintain energy and positivity.

'Be healthy first, not just slim'

Himanshi cautioned against the rising trend of extreme weight loss methods. She called them harmful and unsustainable.

“Weight loss has become a trend, but it’s more important to be healthy,” she noted. She also spoke about the link between mental health, stress, and physical well-being, particularly for women. “Due to rising competition, women face more stress and anxiety leading to PCOS and endometriosis. It’s important to take care of your mental health first,” she urged.

'I never thought of losing weight'

Coming to the present, in a recent interview, as reported by Aaj Tak, she said that she never thought about losing weight as she was focused on health. She mentioned that she was focused on why she was having body issues and fekt irritated on set when people say anything to her. Later Himashi decided to change her diet and under the supervision of a doctor she made changes within herself, leading to a significant body transformation.
