There is a pressure in this industry to look a particular way, but I’ve learned to take it positively: Veronica

Actress Veronica Vanij, who was last seen in Non-Stop Dhamal and Ichchha, recently opened up about her fitness transformation and the motivation behind it. “Honestly, I had put on quite a bit of weight for my movie Non-Stop Dhamal, and later for Ichchha, where I played a village girl — the roles actually required me to maintain that look,” she shared.

“After that, I got busy and didn’t really have the motivation to lose weight. But recently, I landed a new project that truly excited me, and that gave me the push I needed. I’ve managed to lose about 10 kilos through consistent workouts, a clean diet, and a more disciplined routine. It feels amazing to be in a fitter, more energetic space now.” Talking about the constant appearance pressure in showbiz, Veronica admitted, “To be honest, there is a certain pressure in this industry to look a particular way, but I’ve learned to take it positively.

For me, it’s more about feeling confident and healthy rather than fitting into an image. Every role demands something different, and I try to adapt without losing my individuality. I think audiences today appreciate authenticity more than perfection, and that’s very liberating.

” On the work front, she revealed that her latest project was the key reason behind her transformation. “Right now, my focus is completely on this new project that motivated my transformation — it’s something very different from what I’ve done before. I can’t reveal much yet, but it’s a strong, performance-oriented role,” she said.
