Fans curious to know Sara's secret behind this transformation

"So pretty! How much money, time and effort did it take to transform yourself? #askingforafriend," she asked. Another user commented, "Hats off ma'am to your hard work."
Disease
Sara's Polycystic Ovarian Disease had led to her weight gain
For the uninitiated, Sara had Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) during her teenage years, which led to her excessive weight gain. She has spoken about her struggles with PCOD during an interview, and how her condition made it difficult for her to lose weight. However, Sara overcame every hurdle after she decided to make it big in Bollywood while studying in the US.
Challenge
"Really wanted to act but that coincided with my weight"
"I decided that I really want to act but that realization coincided with the weight scale saying that I'm 96 kilos. So, it was a bit difficult," Sara stated. Naturally, this transformation wasn't a cakewalk for the Kedarnath actress, as her hormone level was quite high. But Sara was determined to shed those extra kilos, and changed her eating habits and lifestyle.
Secret
