From 96 Kgs to Strength: Bhumi Pednekar Gets Real About Fitness l Yasmin Karachiwala @SohaAliKhanP

ALL ABOUT HER with SOHA ALI KHAN ft. Bhumi Pednekar & Yasmin Karachiwala | EPISODE 22 | FITNESS, BODY & BEYOND

Fitness today is no longer just about looking a certain way — it’s about strength, longevity, mental health, discipline, and self-awareness. But in a world driven by trends, shortcuts, and social media comparisons, how do we build a relationship with our bodies that’s healthy, sustainable, and real?

In this episode of All About Her, I sit down with actor and environmental advocate Bhumi Pednekar, alongside India’s leading Pilates expert and fitness pioneer Yasmin Karachiwala, to break down fitness beyond aesthetics — and into life itself.

Bhumi opens up about her deeply personal fitness journey — from gaining nearly 30 kilos for Dum Laga Ke Haisha to navigating the physical and emotional aftermath of that transformation. She speaks candidly about living with eczema, dealing with body image pressures, anxiety, trolling, Ozempic rumours, and the constant scrutiny that comes with being in the public eye. She also shares why she chose a vegetarian lifestyle, how sustainability plays a role in her everyday choices, and what fitness truly means to her today.

Yasmin brings clarity and science into the conversation — demystifying Pilates, busting fitness myths, explaining why strength training is non-negotiable for women, especially as we age, and breaking down how different workouts impact the female body. From muscle loss and hormones to trends she dismisses and what women should actually focus on, Yasmin grounds the episode with experience-backed insight.

Together, we talk about discipline vs obsession, red carpet realities, unrealistic beauty standards, mental resilience, and what it really takes to stay fit — physically and emotionally — in the long run.

This episode isn’t about quick fixes or viral trends.
It’s about understanding your body, building strength, and choosing wellness on your own terms.

If you’ve ever felt judged for how your body looks…
If you’re confused between gym, yoga, Pilates, and trends…
If you want fitness to feel empowering, not exhausting…

This episode is for you.
