Arjun Kapoor Admits Losing 50 Kilos Was a Mental Battle, Says He Lost His Backbone After Mother’s Death
Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor has always been open about his struggles with weight loss and emotional pain. In a recent interview, the actor shared a heartfelt story about how losing 50 kilos was not just a physical challenge but a mental battle.
Arjun said that his weight loss journey tested his willpower and patience. It wasn’t just about workouts or diet. It was about fighting my own mind he said. The actor admitted that he often struggled to stay motivated, especially after facing a personal tragedy the death of his mother, Mona Kapoor, in 2012, just before his debut film Ishaqzaade was released.
Losing His Mother and Emotional Strength
Arjun emotionally shared that after losing his mother, he felt like he had “lost his backbone.” She was his biggest support, and her absence left a deep emotional void. He said, “I didn’t know how to deal with that pain. I ran away from it instead of facing it.”
For many years, he tried to hide his grief behind work and social appearances, but inside, he felt empty. His weight started fluctuating again, and emotional stress made it harder to stay focused on his fitness and career.
The Journey to Self-Belief
Over time, Arjun decided to fight back. He began to focus on mental health, discipline, and positive self-talk. The actor credits his family, close friends, and his fans for helping him stay strong.
He explained that fitness is not just about the body it starts in the mind. Once I began healing mentally, my body started changing too, he said. Arjun also encouraged others who struggle with body image or emotional pain to never give up and to seek help if needed.
Inspiring Others Through Honesty
Fans and fellow actors praised Arjun for his honesty and strength. Many called his journey inspiring because it reflects the real struggles people face behind the glamour of Bollywood.
Today, Arjun Kapoor continues to work hard in films while promoting fitness and mental health awareness. His story reminds everyone that healing takes time, courage, and self-love.
