Mumbai, September 3: Actress Nimisha Sajayan is starring as Babita Singh, also known as ‘Baby,’ in the crime drama and mystery-thriller film ‘Babita Singh Reporting.’ To portray this character, she gained approximately 14 kilograms.
In a recent interview, the actress revealed that when she was cast for the role, she weighed 58 kilograms. She began working with a professional team to increase her weight, ultimately reaching 72 kilograms.
Sharing her transformation experience, she stated, “I gained 14 kilograms for this role. When I was chosen, my weight was 58 kilograms, and we started the weight gain journey with the help of professionals like Dr. Siddhant Karan and Chef Saif Dada. Initially, I consumed 1,200 calories, which eventually increased to 8,000 calories.”
Nimisha described the transformation process as a nightmare. “For me, it felt like a bad dream. Increasing to 8,000 calories is a lot. It was an enormous amount of food; I was literally just stuffing myself. However, I also enjoyed the process because it brought me closer to the character,” she added.
After completing the shooting of ‘Babita Singh Reporting,’ Nimisha began working on losing the weight she had gained. She also spoke about being judged for her looks, stating that she has reached a point where such comments no longer affect her as they once did.
Directed by Ambika Pandit, ‘Babita Singh Reporting’ features a talented cast, including Anshuman Pushkar, Barun Sobti, Sunita Rajwar, and Rajesh Kumar. The film is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
