Kusha Kapila reveals she has undergone weight transformation several times
Kusha Kapila recently shared a new video on her YouTube channel where she addressed the constant scrutiny and criticism around her weight loss. The content creator who redefined online comedy revealed that in the last month, she saw multiple reels about the before and after of her weight loss journey which made her wonder if it was really her body. Kusha, who is taking her time to process the change highlighted the irony of social media where people suddenly feel she went from being an ‘average girl’ to a ‘goddess of beauty’ with her weight loss. However, she mentioned that she even tried weight loss at the age of 12 when people made her aware of her increasing weight. In her words:
“I started gaining weight when I was 10, and people made me aware of it in a very harsh way—calling me names like ‘motu’.”
When Kusha was 15 or 16, she gained weight and her mother got worried about it. Consequently, she enrolled her in a gym where she lost more than 20 kilos, but couldn’t realise how the emotional scars caused by body image issues affected her. She decided to ignore it and began leaning into humour and growing her career to gain confidence.
However, things again began to change when she gained more than 10 kilos at the age of 22, which left her confused about her goals in life. At that point, one of her friends reached out to her and suggested that she should work on herself because he could see she was struggling. It began another weight loss journey, which again ended up in the wrong way after she was diagnosed with abdominal tuberculosis due to poor nutrition. Recalling how it happened, she said:
“I was consuming only 800-900 calories a day, sometimes even less. Because of this extreme calorie deficit, I lost weight very quickly and dramatically. I didn’t gain muscle—it was just rapid weight loss. People started saying things like, ‘Wow, Kusha, you look so amazing! What have you done? But I was starving. I didn’t even realise why or for whom I was losing weight.”
Kusha Kapila reveals she lost weight for herself
In the same video, Kusha Kapila opened up on her recent weight loss and mentioned that at the age of 33, it was the first time when she felt she wanted to lose weight for herself and not for any external validation. So, she reminded herself that she was on her own and would be responsible for anything good or bad that happened to her. As a result, the Sukhee actress reminded herself that she needed to take care of herself because no one else would do so.
