Shreya Chaudhary, best known for her role in Bandish Bandits, recently took to Instagram to share the inspiring story behind her remarkable 30 kg weight loss. In a candid and heartfelt post, Shreya opened up about the challenges that led to her weight gain and the fierce determination that drove her transformation. By the age of just 21, she had shed 30 kilos and turned her focus to her modelling and acting career. Reflecting on her journey, she admitted how, at 19, she neglected her health and stopped exercising altogether, which resulted in significant weight gain. The breaking point came when she suffered a slipped disc, a condition that affected her spinal bones. This worked as a wake-up call for her to take her health seriously. Know how she managed to achieved such an incredible transformation.
Shreya Chaudhary suffered a slip disc at a young age
At just 19, Shreya Chaudhary found herself in a difficult spot. A mix of emotional and mental struggles led to a period of weight gain, and the toll on her health was undeniable. “I was not in the best headspace,” she recalls. “During this time, I put on a lot of weight, this took a toll on my fitness and health.” For someone so ambitious and career-focused, this was an unexpected roadblock. She shares that she had completely stopped any form of physical activity, making her health situation even worse.
However, the real turning point came when Shreya Chaudhary faced a medical issue that forced her to reassess her lifestyle—a slip disc at a young age. “What struck the final nail was me getting a slip disc at that young age!” she says. Slip dics, also called a prolapsed or herniated disc, occur when a soft cushion of tissue between the bones in your spine bulges out. It is painful if it presses on nerves, as per the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care. Along with weak muscles and sedentary lifestyle, those who are overweight are at increased risk of slipped disc.
This condition was a wake-up call that made Shreya realise how much she had neglected her body in the pursuit of other things.

I had to be happy and healthy for myself, my family, and my ambitions and aspirations,” she explains. This moment of realisation became the spark that supported her weight loss transformation.
