That Sonam Kapoor was once overweight is a fact well-known. She says when the stress of her weight began to reflect on her health, she became determined to shed the excess kilos. Now counted as a style diva in the country’s fashion circles, Sonam opened up about her weight problems to RJ Karisma Kapoor during the latter’s talk show on a radio station’s afternoon women’s show. It was when she was 16 that she decided to work towards a healthy lifestyle of regular workouts, yoga and figure-friendly food. Thus started her journey to become the fashion icon she is today. Clearly, one wonders whether Sonam has come to truly believe in the motto – Health is wealth.
