Sonam Kapoor says she will ‘not check the scales’ as she talks about her post-pregnancy body: ‘Not back to what I used to be’

Sonam said that if she is shooting, she likes to send her measurements in advance because she doesn’t want her self-confidence to take a hit in trying to fit into ‘tiny clothes’. “If I’m shooting, I send my measurements in advance – I don’t want to come back feeling like I’m not fitting into these tiny clothes – it plays a huge havoc on your self-confidence, to try and fit into things you would have fit into five or 10 years ago,” she said.

Sonam said that she is not back to what she used to be, and that she’s not even pushing herself. “I’m not back to what I used to be and I’m not even pushing myself – I’m still breast-feeding, and I hope to continue for at least a year. Your body needs the food, rest, and energy while you’re doing that. I’m not on any crazy diet, I’m exercising – I exercised through my pregnancy – and being healthy. I took care of myself through my pregnancy and I’m going to continue doing that and not check the scales,” she said.

Sonam and her husband Anand Ahuja tied the knot in 2018 and welcomed their son in Mumbai in 2022. Sonam will next be seen in Blind, which was shot in 2021.
