Comedienne Vidyullekha Raman has shed oodles of weight. The 29-year-old artist, who is known for films like 'Run Raja Run' and 'Raju Gari Gadhi', took to Instagram to speak about what it took for her to come down to 68 kgs.

Starting her message saying "Fake confidence versus ACTUAL confidence", she wrote, "When I was overweight, a frequently asked question by everyone to me was, 'How are you so confident?' In retrospect, was I? Or did I just come to terms with the fact that I will be obese all my life?"

The 'Duvvada Jagannadham' cast member added that it took lifestyle changes for weight reduction. "Today I am actually confident of myself because I did the unthinkable and changed my lifestyle and habits. I have come to realize that if you put your mind to it, anything is possible. Sounds cliché, right? But it’s the truth!! You need to be disciplined, workout 6 times a week and follow a balanced diet," Vidyu wrote.

She feels there are no short cuts to weight loss. "There is no secret potion or pill to make the result happen! Just pure hard work. Nothing in life comes easy but when you see the result, it’s worth all the sweat and tears. Recorded weight as on 20/06/20 - 68.2kgs," the determined lady added.
