Neil Nitin Mukesh shares ‘transformation’ photo post weight loss: ‘Some appreciated my efforts while some questioned…’

Sharing the ‘before and after’ pictures, he wrote, “As I look BACK to the year 2022 , im nothing but grateful. I’m grateful to my family, to my dear friends and above all to the Almighty, to encourage me and give me the strength and power to go through this difficult transformation. As an actor we mould ourselves in various characters and take up challenges beyond our imagination. When I gained weight for a role of mine, little did I know that it would be so difficult and challenging to lose it all again. But I guess that is exactly what I needed, a challenge!!”

Neil further revealed how some stood by him, while some ‘mocked him’ for being socially disconnected. He also thanked his family for dealing with his mood swings and his fans, for their love. The actor wrote, “2022 has been the year of me understanding the importance of health, family, love and relationships. Some stood by me through this journey, some mocked me for being socially disconnected, some appreciated my efforts while some questioned my willpower. But I thank My father, my mother, my beloved wife, my brother and my darling daughter for patiently dealing with me and my mood swings. I love you all the most. More importantly, I thank you, my audience, my fans, for whom I work tirelessly. You have stood by me all these years and it’s your love that has given me the strength to forge ahead. This is for you !! Welcome #2023.”

You’ve to keep coming up. The industry has taught me to fight for yourself big time. You have got to prove, not in a bad way, but an empowering way,” Neil had told PTI.
