Actor Arjun Bijlani opened up about his wife and actor Neha Swami’s drastic weight loss nine years after their son Ayaan was born in 2015. “Neha has lost 14 kilos now. I kept telling her to try and pay attention to her health without making her feel bad. I didn’t give up. I knew once she saw the results, she would go into auto mode. Even if I say it or not, she hits the gym every day at 8-8.30 am. She goes (to workout),” said the Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani actor.
On alternate days, Swami does kickboxing, too. “I am very proud of her. While it may have taken a lot of time, I didn’t give up, and now she is not going to give up because it is now a lifestyle. It took time, but you can’t give up on your partner if you love them. What she has achieved is remarkable,” the 42-year-old said on the Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa’s show.
Bijlani and Swami got married in 2013 after several years of dating.
Let’s take a cue to understand a partner’s role in prioritising one’s fitness and health.
Communication between couples needs to be loving, caring, and practical at the same time. “Encouraging and motivating each other is part and parcel of interactions. This needs to be done positively without getting irritated or agitated with each other,” said psychologist Kamna Chhibber. “Concurrently ensuring that you’re not getting stuck and too insistent is important as it becomes nagging. The onset of negative ways of communicating leads to a breakdown in communication and creates patterns of withdrawal and avoidance. To ensure the relationship’s health, it is important to be mindful of these aspects,” said Chhibber.
