Keerthy Suresh addresses weight loss and surgery rumours
Taking to her Instagram handle, she shared a gym video and wrote, “I shared this great time. I have never talked about my fitness journey. She has been my biggest teacher. Every day I still learn something new about my body and myself. When I started as an actor in 2013, I was a brainless kid. Like many people, I thought the gym wasn’t for me. I neglected the basics that my body really needed.” She added: “After Mahanati in 2018, on a break, I thought, ‘Why not give it a try?’ I jumped into HIIT and cardio with a low-protein, low-carb diet. I lost 10kg in 9 months. I felt proud until people called me ‘skinny’ and said I’d had ‘operations’. I’ve always kept things natural, even with my face, so hearing that was a bit of a turn-on, all my work under the knife because they put it and oh!In her statement, she also said: “Finally, in 2020, I turned to yoga. It changed everything. It gave me balance, confidence and a way to take care of myself that felt really good. But over time I realized the truth: the gym worked! I wasn’t doing it the right way. And I understood how crucial strength training is. Now, I anchor my strength training, cardio and animal training with my routine. calisthenics. This is honestly the best I’ve ever felt. The love and care I am giving my body now? I know it only gets better from here! What was once “not my cup of tea” has become non-negotiable for me today.”A proud Keerthy added, “I’m proud to see myself here today and yet people come up to me and give me my opinion on how I liked them better when I was a chubby kid. When you’re chubby they want you to be fit and when you’re skinny they just want you to be chubby. I wonder how the world works sometimes. It reminds me: if I ever need to break, pause or stop, but I’ll never give up PS: Thanks always have your back for giving”

As the ‘Revolver Rita’ actress explains, initially she relied on intense cardio training and strict diets. Later, she discovered yoga, which brought balance and improved her mental well-being.
