Actress Arti Singh loses eight kgs in a span of five months

Arti Singh has never felt this fit. The actress has undergone a complete makeover, courtesy her considerable weight loss. She has lost eight kgs since her last show, Parichay — Nayee Zindagi Kay Sapno Ka. She credits her slimmer avatar to a strict diet and strenuous gymming.
She says, “I ate every two hours. I would have daliya instead of roti and rice. One has to eat right to not let it reflect on your face.I used to cheat every Sunday, because I am a foodie. I also worked out religiously. I want to shed five more kilos and look even better.”
Arti says she lost weight to bag lead roles. She says, “I want to look good for better offers. I want to try my luck down South and in Punjabi films all over again. Also, I want to play lead roles. They didn’t tell me upfront that I was fat, but they just stopped calling me for auditions. I don’t have enough time on hand since I am already 27.”
So, does weight decide the kind of roles one gets? “I don’t think weight is the governing factor, but appearance does count. I know I’m better than a lot of actors, but I had started looking like a bhabhi because of my weight. And that’s why I was being offered such roles,” says she.
