How Jackky Bhagnani lost 75 kgs

“It’s hard for people to believe that I once weighed over 150 kg and managed to lose 75 kg,” shares Jackky, reflecting on his transformative journey. “It wasn’t easy, but it wouldn’t have been possible without motivation, determination, and the will to break past my own limits. What I realised along the way is that you don’t always need fancy gym equipment or expensive plans to lose weight. Eating clean, staying well-hydrated, getting enough sleep, doing regular cardio, and practising Yoga, all of it helped me create a sense of balance, both physically and mentally.”
How yoga helped in his journey
He goes on to talk about how Yoga became a turning point not just in his fitness but in his personal life too. “Rakul (Preet Singh, his wife) and I actually bonded over Yoga when we were first getting to know each other. It became something meaningful that we shared, and we’ve continued to practice it together. For me, Yoga isn’t just a workout. It’s a space for calm, clarity and connection. I genuinely believe it can be transformative for your mind, your body and your spirit. And I encourage everyone to explore its benefits.”
