I feel energetic and very peaceful with myself: Chaitali Kohli

Chaitali Kohli has opened up about her recent weight loss, sharing that the transformation was not just physical but also a deeply personal and healing journey. The actress, known for films like Khauff, Crew and Single Papa, revealed that her journey began with what she describes as a hormonal reset. “For me it was a hormonal reset. A backlog of 16 years had to be cleared and a whole new working system created. With a lot of healing and a lot of shadow work. It started from there. And as the journey continued, I found the way back to being me. Hence weight loss became easy. I have lost nearly 8kgs,” she said.

Speaking about her routine, Chaitali shared that discipline played a key role. “Getting up when the alarm goes off with no time to sulk in bed and starting your day immediately. And of course following a diet. For my body food really doesn’t matter, the main focus is on burning calories. But I practise conscious eating in general.” Explaining what motivated her to transform, she said, “Because I was really sick of getting so unhealthy. I was totally neglecting my health and moreover I wanted to go back to that me who was always energetic and active. I missed the energy more than anything else.”

Chaitali added that while she never faced rejection because of her weight, she wanted to explore more possibilities. “I always got roles that fit my body. But the part that I would never be in a wider range of roles always bothered me. I felt why not see what happens if I change my look.”

The actress said she has been receiving encouraging responses to her new look. “I am getting some amazing feedback. The best one was when a friend said I look exactly how I was in college. And nowadays when I see myself in the mirror I feel energetic and very peaceful.”
