1.Decision and motivation
Six months postpartum, Gauahar Khan decided to wean her son and return to work with Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11. Driven by her responsibilities as a public figure, she chose an aggressive plan, hoping to regain her pre-pregnancy figure.
2.Diet details
Her entire weight loss diet consisted only of salads and soups, three meals a day made of leaves and soup. She cut out non-vegetarian food entirely, even avoiding her favourite dishes like mutton, to slash calories.
3.Impressive results
Without starving or hiring a trainer, she lost 10 kg in just 10 days. She shared the achievement via Instagram, calling it a mix of personal discipline and dedication, not external support.
4.Social media reaction
While many admired her transformation, some critics argued the rapid change could set unrealistic standards for new mothers. Gauahar Khan clarified that no expensive trainer or nutritionist guided her, just self‑research and consistency.
5.Expert perspective
Medical experts warn that such rapid weight loss often stems from water loss rather than fat reduction. Nutritionists advocate slow, steady weight reduction, around 500 grams per week to protect health, especially for new mothers balancing blood pressure, hormone levels, and nutrient needs.
