'I weighed 114 kg and lost 26 kg'
Boney Kapoor credited his 'extreme willpower' and regulated eating habits for his impressive weight loss – no extreme diets, workouts or quick fixes, just a balanced lifestyle.
The film producer-actor, who has four children (Arjun, Anshula, Janhvi, and Khushi Kapoor from his marriages with Mona Shourie and Sridevi), said, “I want to stay fit and live as long as my children's goals are met. So, this is one reason for me to take care of myself... I am a man of extreme willpower. I have made a commitment to myself that I will lose 3 kg more. I am 87-88 kg now, I should be 85 kg. I will lose the remaining kilos from my stomach. I weighed 114 kg, so, the average weight I lost was 26 kg.”
What Boney Kapoor eats for breakfast, lunch, dinner
Asked how he lost weight without 'extreme measures', Boney said: “It is because of diet. I have regulated my eating habits. I drink juices, eat amla, kiwi, and other fruits, and have a two-egg-white omelette. This is my breakfast. For lunch, sometimes I have just soup, or I have jowar roti with dal and sabzi. And for dinner, I eat tandoori chicken with soup, or just two glasses of soup, that is it. If I feel hungry during the day, then I eat chickpea flour cheela. However, for me, there would be at least one to two cheat days. We have a social life, so we can't throw tantrums.”
