Following this, the actress decided to shut everyone’s mouth. She made a humongous variation with her body weight. She weighed 77kg in January and reduced up to 68kg till the month of June. With this move, she left the audience awe-struck. Which also has inspired her fans and many other people towards fitness.

It was a Tamil movie’s audio launch and I couldn’t find anything to wear because nothing in my wardrobe fit me.

She wrote “20+ KGS DOWN – 86.5 kg to 65.3 kgs. It’s been a long & winding road. Filled with sweat and tears. When I look at the pic on the left it’s surreal that I ever looked like that. That I let myself get to being THAT unhealthy. ” She started with naturopathy, Ayurveda and yoga and gradually shifted to keto and a low carb diet that helped her achieve this success.

- Though Vidyu has come up with a captivating physical transformation despite it she was threatened to remain work deprived if she shed off her weight. This gives us an insight into the mentality in industry prevailing. She said “I was told that I won’t get the roles I get today if I dropped weight. It points to a culture where the casting happens based on appearance and not on the basis of one’s talent,” she says, and adds: “When you hear it, you tend to develop an insecure feeling. I don’t know what the remedy is but I hope women continue to prove that talent speaks more than body measurements.”
- She also says that her journey did not start with self-hate. She loved herself the same way she did before. She only wanted to be the best version of herself. And one must prioritize their health.
- She states that a lot of people believe that Vidyu mainly focuses more on Telugu movies but the fact is the Telugu industry has given her more recognition and appreciated the kind of work she does. This industry has laid more opportunities with her and they offer better roles as compared to others. In the end, she only wants to be a part of the cinema and that makes her happy.
- Along with this drastic change the actress has also been in the news as she had a Roka ceremony and will soon tie the knot to her fiance Sanjay Watwani who is a renowned entrepreneur and a dietician in Chennai. The Roka ceremony of the couple took place on August 26th (2020) in Chennai under the COVID 19 regulations with family and close friends. Vidyu and Sanjay have known each other for a long time. The families are planning their wedding soon after the COVID comes to rest as they are concerned about the safety measures. She shared a picture with her fiance dressed in traditional outfits thanking all for the blessings and wrote “We got Roka-Ed! @lowcard.india & I had our Roka Ceremony (formal announcement) on 26.08.2020 in an intimate manner with close family around us. It was our lil’ ray of sunshine & we couldn’t be more grateful for the love we received. We wore masks & removed them for the pictures (before anyone asks!) Thank you all so much for showering us with your best wishes! The best is yet to come.
