The actress admitted on Instagram that she struggled with her weight for a long time and did not take care of her body and health. However, when she gained a lot of weight and suffered a slipped disc at the age of 19, she had a wake-up call. Finally, she decided not to consider herself worthy and lost 30 kg.
“I stopped doing any physical activity…”
Shreya wrote a note about her weight loss journey and the struggles she faced in an Instagram post and shared it with the caption, “I told myself I’d never give up 💫.” In the letter, she said she first opened up about her struggles with fitness and health because she felt “empowered and safe.” This prompted her to share “things she never said out loud” to make others feel more empowered.
“When I was 19, I went through a lot. I was not in the best place. During this time I gained a lot of weight; it took a toll on my fitness and health. I stopped doing any physical activity and it made things worse. What hit the nail on the head was that I got a sliding disc at such a young age! I have always been ambitious. I always wanted to be a career oriented girl. And now I had something that became the main obstacle to achieving my dreams. I think that was a big wake-up call for me. I couldn’t believe I had taken myself for granted,” Shreya wrote in the letter.
“I gradually became fitter, lost 30 kilograms…”
When Shreya finally decided to take control of her life, she focused on her health and lost 30 kg by the age of 21. With her brand new regimen, she has had no relapses of slipped discs, allowing her to be carefree and focus on getting even fitter.
“Life will always throw us problems; we just need to move on and stay focused I guess. Touchwood. I’m in my best shape right now. From a girl with a slipped disc, I can now box like a beast! I can dance, stand on my two legs for hours on set and push my body to extremes on set when required,” wrote the Bandish Bandits actor.
“We have a gift called life and we should try to live it to the fullest,” she added.
