Sanya Malhotra's 3-Month Fitness Transformation Prioritizes Skill-Building over Weight Loss
3 Oct
Summary
- Sanya Malhotra underwent a 3-month fitness transformation for her latest film
- Focused on learning new skills like pull-ups rather than just weight loss
- Trainer emphasizes sustainable approach over quick physical results
As of October 3rd, 2025, Bollywood actress Sanya Malhotra is receiving widespread praise for her performance in the film 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari'. Malhotra, who was last seen in 'Mrs' just last month, underwent a complete physical transformation for this new role.
Malhotra's trainer, Tridev Pandey, has now revealed that the actress set herself a "small goal" of three months to prepare for the film. In that time, Pandey explains, Malhotra focused on learning new skills like pull-ups, toe push-ups, and handstands, rather than just aiming for weight loss.
This holistic approach to fitness, which emphasizes progress and resilience over quick physical results, has been lauded by experts. Consultant dietitian Kanikka Malhotra notes that Sanya's journey "fosters resilience, prevents burnout, and supports long-term well-being" - a stark contrast to the industry's often-fleeting obsession with extreme diets and workouts.
Sanya's preference for home-cooked, nourishing meals also anchors her fitness journey in sustainable, culturally-relevant practices. As Kanikka Malhotra puts it, this "critiques the fleeting nature of celebrity fitness and instead champions a sustainable, culturally relevant path that prioritises holistic health, genuine progress, and lasting impact."
