'20 Kgs Down, 6 More To Go’: Sonam Kapoor's Postpartum Weight Loss Journey Is Inspiring

Sonam Kapoor embraced motherhood in August 2022. The actress and her husband, Anand Ahuja, welcomed their first child, Vayu. Since then, the actress has been dedicated to fulfilling her parental responsibilities while successfully balancing her professional life. The actress has time and again been vocal about her postpartum journey, inspiring several other new moms to accept the transition with a positive attitude. Losing weight post pregnancy is a major challenge for most women, and Sonam Kapoor has been on this journey slowly and steadily.

Sonam Kapoor shared a post-workout mirror reel on her Instagram Stories, giving a glimpse into her postpartum fitness regime. In the caption, she wrote, “What a wow. 20 Kgs down..6 more to go.” In the clip the actress is seen wearing a black athleisure co-ord and filming herself in front of the mirror.

This is not the first time Sonam Kapoor has shared about her weight loss journey post-pregnancy. Recently, Sonam Kapoor shared a carousel of photos of herself on Instagram and penned down how she balanced parenthood and self-care. Sonam also stated that she did not resort to extreme diets or exercise to attain faster results. The actress wrote, “It’s taken me 16 months to feel like myself again. Slowly steadily without any crash diets and crazy workouts just consistent self care and baby care.” She further added, ““I’m not there yet but almost where I want to be.. still very very grateful for my body and how incredible it has been . Being a woman is a wondrous thing.”

Last year, in an interview with Grazia India, Sonam Kapoor shared that her primary focus was on maintaining her health as she wanted to continue breastfeeding her son for a year. She stressed that “Your body needs food, rest, and energy while you’re doing that. I’m not on any crazy diet, I’m exercising – I exercised through my pregnancy – and being healthy. I took care of myself through my pregnancy and I’m going to continue doing that and not check the scales.”

Sonam and Anand married in a traditional wedding on May 8, 2018, and they welcomed their son in 2022. Sonam recently appeared in Shome Makhija’s film Blind alongside Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak, and Lillete Dubey. This film marked Sonam’s return to acting following maternity break. The actress has a few additional projects planned as well.
