Actress Anika Kabir Shakh is preparing to return to acting after a long period away from the spotlight, following a major transformation in her health and fitness.
After marriage and motherhood, Shakh gradually stepped away from the intense glare of showbiz. During that period, she gained weight and reached 70kg after previously weighing around 80kg. Although she tried to improve her fitness, she struggled to maintain motivation through conventional gym routines.
Her approach changed after doctors told her that she had developed fatty liver. The diagnosis prompted her to focus on her health rather than simply her appearance.
She changed her eating habits and gave up many of her favourite foods. During this year’s Eid-ul-Adha, she limited herself to only two pieces of beef, while cutting out potatoes and fatty or processed foods. She instead focused on vegetables, eggs and chicken.
After seven months of disciplined effort, Shakh reduced her weight from 70kg to 55kg.
Her transformation became particularly noticeable when she walked the ramp at a fashion show last Friday. Her appearance drew attention from those present, highlighting the extent of her physical transformation.
Four years after embracing motherhood, Shakh now feels ready to return to the screen. At present, she is receiving offers for both films and television dramas.
With renewed confidence and energy, the actress is now preparing to begin another chapter of her acting career.
